New price for AntMiner S1: 0.855btc each one, shipping cost included.

These really need a step change now bitmain - drop to 0.45 and they'll nearly be worth buying again.

Unless Bitmain reveals his true shipping costs its hard to know exactly how low he could go and still make a decent return.

No one should expect Bitmain to give these away!

All s1 are tested but for how long only bitmain know.
why you think they still keeping price like that? they mining to the max and once enough btc is done they flush miners on us.

Not sure, I k now I have received some that have definitely collected dust, but I've also received the majority that were new and fresh. I think they do send out refurbished units. While I don't personally condone sending out refurbished units with new units, the bottom line is they are tested, they work and the have the same warranty. Without a doubt bitmain is mining on their machines, they'd be crazy not to. It almost seems though, that in order to process shipments as quickly as possible and to mitigate delays that might happen, they ship from their mining farm immediately so that a delay would only cost them mining time, and not the customer.
