I just got an email from minerwarez. they say the price is $2898 each.
so, I bought (2) A741 for $1600 total and they are 7.3TH x 2 = 14.6 TH.
Now I have to pay $2898 for one A821 that gives you only 11 TH.
WTF is this?? we shlould sue them for holding our money and use it.

copy of the emal:
Avalon 821 Purchase update for unfilled December orders:
Thank you again for your patience and understanding. Canaan has made this special allotment available and, as communicated, this offer is available only for the number of miners previously paid for (i.e. for each Avalon 741 unit ordered, paid for, and not filled in December, customers can order one unit at the discounted rate).
The orders will be sent out in March 2018 and the price per unit is $2,898.00 USD (retail orders will open in April at a higher projected price point). Customers wishing to order the Avalon 821 will be asked to make full payment by January 31st, 2018. We look forward to hearing from you by January 15th, 2018. Any outstanding order not specifying will be refunded for their December 741 order. All requests for refund will be honored.
Below is the information provided by Canaan Creative for the Avalon 821. We ask that you remain cordial in your interactions with our staff and with Canaans sales team.
Sincerely,
Minerwarez

Let your money speak for you. Just get a refund. I guarantee if the situation reversed itself and the cost of miners was lower than what you paid, you wouldn't get a refund for the difference. I really despise preordering gear after going through the Butterfly Labs fiasco.

I'd rather pay a premium for something in hand than put money on a future purchase. They're essentially selling mining "futures" that only pays one way (pays them).
