This all said by the one who received an email to pickup his avalons before anyone else received any kind of notice...

What's up shill? Having a nice day?

Can't imagine why haven't they asked for their refund.


They do not recognize this. In previous emails exchanged with them, I made clear we invested on them. Their answer was as cold/rude as it could be. "We do not sell investments, we sell products."

If buying a non existing product from a non experienced "company" based on promises is not an investment on them........

In less than two weeks after getting the chips, the first Avalon clones where manufactured and left our warehouse in Camorino, Switzerland.

While most of the customers opted to get their orders shipped, the very first units where picked up on Wednesday and some others will leave through UPS Express service. Tracking number will be provided once available for your order. Please note that the units are delivered according to the original orders queue, so your unit may not show up as shipped yet till next week. While we fully understand the pressure, please do not inquire about the status of your order as we are already doing the best to expedite the process and your order status will be updated by us as soon as updated information such as the tracking number becomes available.

Thank you!

Spoiler alert ... stop reading at the ":" if you want like the thrill: I got my units! 

Lets highlight this passage:
"and cannot be sold without loss to anyone else"
This is exactly the case here because no one would want buy these boards anymore.

precisely

announcement:
I won't be selling to end-users anymore.

Reasons:

• Time. I want to provide you with BitFury and CoinTerra mining boards for which i need lots of development time.
• Development and Manufacturing of electronic devices is my main qualification, not running an online-shop
• I failed to provide adequate customer service.
  Some of you never heard back from their requests.
• The last 3 month i worked 7 days a week all day long.
  This is slowly beginning to take its toll

Consequences:

• I will continue to develop and build mining devices.
• These will be exclusively sold in large quantities to distributors.
• existing orders will be processed and delivered or refunded.
• For the upcoming Bitfury Boards i am negotiating with a 3rd party to manage the end-user sales.
  But i am open to anyone interested that has the infrastructure to handle it.

Further refund information:
I thought long and hard about this whole mess we're all in.
And i am NOT content with the current model.
50% refund is all i can offer >NOW< without going instantly bankrupt.
I plan give back more, if i can.
Therefore any reuse or resale of the remaining components will be refunded. (You bought these with your money after all)
That means you do not need to buy bitfury boards from me in order to get those extra 20% back.
If you can wait until then it could be sent in one transaction.  (about 2-4 weeks to wrap everything up)

I value fairness above most other things like profit for example.
That goes both ways, and almost all of you are upright honorable people which i am deeply grateful for.

To you paypal disputers: i hope you can accept the proposed solution.

2) We've already given a lot of refunds (many of these have been confirmed here on bitcointalk) BEFORE we started production and we offered a lot of upgrades to the next generation, in fact we are still planning if possible to upgrade for free to 400 Gh/s instead 200 Gh/s but is not sure right now.
....

And finally, the general terms of sale are that all sales are final, and this has NEVER changed:

changing TOS without any notification for customers? omfg, here we go again...
