>30% off Black Friday Deals

Special Sales for ANTMINER S4, 0.409USD/GH/s, FREE International Shipping. Shipping on Dec. 2nd

Might want to mention that you are forced to buy SIXTEEN units of S4.
Also that coupons are not applicable.
And finally that without coupons being accepted, that the price per unit works out to being $818. Which is $18 MORE than buying a single unit with a coupon.

Shipping appears to be included. For a change.
Customs fees I highly doubt are included. As usual.

Unless you are in the market to buy 16 units, this is not an actual sale. And even then you save very very very little. Basically cheaper shipping.

How about actually giving 30% off the price of a single S4, and still allow the coupons..... so it is not completely and utterly useless to everyone, as this so-called "sale" currently is.

The 'sale' is actually a very fair price to medium-level and larger buyers.
You can use 1 coupon ($400) per 16-pack. That makes the final price (shipping included) $12,688 - or $397/TH. Thats cheaper than 16 units purchased individually with coupons, particularly considering that the price includes about $2000 discount on shipping costs you would otherwise pay. Thats about 1BTC/TH WITH PSUs DELIVERED.

in contrast, the SP20 deal works out to around $415/TH and does not include power supplies (another $40-70/TH) and do not rack-mount.
noone includes the custom fees in their price - every customer pays different fees depending on country and personal/business use.

IMO, would love to see a 4-pack/$3400 (shipping included) option for the smaller miners.
