~2000$=5mhs=1btc every two weeks
~9000$=25mhs=1btc every two days
calculations based on coinwarz

price seems low or am i wrong?

Don't forget the difficulty increase  Grin

2000$ for 5mhs with a single purpose chip is not cheap.
I can build a 2mhs rig under 1200$.

The 5mhs asic miner can not be used for other purposes or be sold, after mining is no longer profitable -> selling computer parts is easy

You get about 3 times the hashpower compared to normal hardware. Not bad, but definitly not cheap.

Biggest problem:
Shipping date! Same problem had BFL... delay = mining loss!

Is it right, that you could buy used 2 radeons for 1200$ with 1mh/s each? And after one year you will probably get still 800-1000 bucks for the 2 cards?
