What country are you in? Do you have 240 volt power? Do you want to spend 500-1000-2000-3000 usd or more? What does your power cost you? Can you manage heat and noise? https://shop.canaan.io/collections/usa this link has some gear all is 240 volt . they are in texas usa you can pick the gear up. https://vmssecuritycloud.com/shop-bitcoin-miners/ has gear in Long Island, New York and they do repairs. He may let you pick it up. Mikeywith a member at bitcointalk has access to the m50 whatsminers https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5440613.0

Actually, I have direct contact with MicroBt officials, But I still have access to all miner models including Antminer, it's just the MOQ for those is usually on the high end which is why I don't advertise those. OP, if you are interested in Whatsminers (M30, M50) I can sell you the gears with DDP shipping to Florida -- meaning you get the miner at your address and don't have to handle any tax or papers, probably cheaper than buying them anywhere else. If you want other models and your MOQ is 10 or above, I can also arrange for that. Avalons used to be great gears, the new models not so, there is a good reason they sell cheaper than Antminer and Whatsminer, while I don't have any personal with the latest Avalons, the reviews on telegram are pretty terrible, I hope Avalon get their shit back together and go back to making tanks like they used to do.

The answer to that depends on many factors like Phil mentioned. If you're looking for rock bottom prices, your best bet is to buy directly from a Chinese wholesaler. Some of them have high MOQs, so they may or may not work for you. At AltairTech we are a US based mining retailer. We also operate our own mining farm and provide competent technical support if needed. Check us out https://altairtech.io/product-category/miners/

Whatever place you choose to buy your miner from, it is imperative that you make sure that you are buying from a reputable miner seller and not some random ebay or alibaba merchant and do not use any strange software that they give you. Once you find a seller, it would be best if you were to double check by posting the source link on this thread so that the Bitcointalk community can tell you whether or not the seller is reputable. The problem here is that you could buy a miner from a sketchy individual who could try to find a way to sneakily scam you out of your coins or sneak spyware through, along with your bought miner. The scams can be quite diverse and complex. Here is an example: https://www.kaspersky.com/blog/cryptoscam-fake-antminer/39398/ Be aware of fake websites! The above recommendations from the Bitcointalk members philipma1957 and MikeyWith are trustworthy.

First of all maybe now you already bombed by private message and some it try convince you that they was real. I think the best place to buy miner is their official site and used on marketplace like ebay. and don't forget to use escrow
