So a little update. Our distributor upped the price of Asus cards due to the high demand, so I dropped them and put in an order for 80 Gigabyte R9 280X cards.
So... you mean that ... you did not actually have a deal set up when you told investors about your plans?
I'm fairly certain they came up with this entire idea overnight because it shows. However the bigger problem is who wants 280x's? And did they really just claim to have ordered 80 of them? Now, it sounds like to me they just suckered people into buying them 80 GPU's that they will sell back to you for whatever your coins are worth. This could get worse...
I have a 280x showing up at my door on friday, and quite frankly, i would enjoy more 280x's

Newegg lists that card @ $469.99 + tax (I live in Cali = $35.25) + $5.92 S&H = $534.92
Let us know if you can beat that price GPUCoin
btw, %17.4 of the people that voted in the poll, said they would like 4-6 R9 280x's
If they don't change the price before they ship them again we will be selling them at the GPUC equivalent of $420 or so shipped in the continental US. When talking with my lawyer I found out that if I accept commodities as payment I personally don't have to collect tax on anything sold within the state of VA and it's up to the person who purchased the item to claim the item and pay taxes on it in their state. I'm sure legalities involving crypto currencies will change, but my lawyer said he'll inform me if it does.
