while the antminers are nice(mainly because other manufacturers are full of shit and we cant get our hands on anything better) at even 1k they are seriously pushing the limit on a roi. and there are fewer suckers out there to flip these on to, and not too many alternatives when it comes to sha based alt coins
hopefully price will adjust again to reflect the current state of the game.
For some people miners are the best or only way to convert fiat into bitcoin, stick 'em on ebay and I'm sure someone will snap them up. Not everyone is trusting enough to buy things from other countries and have them imported and would rather buy through a 'trustworthy' website and don't mind paying a little extra for the security... not everyone is hardcore into roi, some are willing to go down to get their hands on bitcoins or hardware... who knows what they'll be worth in the future...
I'm glad I took my chances with Bitmain because they delivered every time and their price and delivery times are unbeatable
