Ok then... even for Aug shipment... do these asic miners not even make $200 over ROI? what's the point even making them....

https://www.ebay.com/itm/BITMAIN-Antminer-Z9-mini-10k-Sol-s-300-W-Zcash-ASIC-Miner-Pre-order-Aug/113058989927?hash=item1a52d74767:g:55IAAOSwJ7dbIONS

A valid point would be to eliminate or at least reduce the RISK involved and speed up the time needed to earn profits. The estimated time to ROI alone for the Z9 ASIC is now already a few months, what more when the august batch arrives? By selling now they get to lock in profits, possibly even within a single day if they schedule the deal to immediately take place after delivery of the ASIC. Now ask yourself whats the point, right?

If I could get the Aug $850 Z9 today which would cost me $550 including shipping after $350 coupons I have, ROI is only 19.2 days even with this depressing coin price. Z9 easily overclock to 15k sol but I am using 14k for my calculation.
