Hey everyone,
Could anyone point me to some reliable places to buy new or used miners? I'm seeing a ton of scams everywhere, and I don’t wanna get ripped off.
Appreciate any help!
Where to find miners for sale?

I can vouch for HashExpert, I've used them several times with no problems:
https://sales.hashexpert.net/
There is also a list of verified venders here which may be useful:

Sellers I've used that are genuine, but not a good service (I DO NOT recommend):
ITGuangZhou Group (China) - I bought 20 x S17 Pros, sold as working 100% but arrived with several dead hashboards that have been diagnosed as unrepairable (by HM Tech in USA). Basically told it's my problem as they were working before they sent them, then after some negotiation said they would compensate but then offered $300, which I refused as it's an insult...
Coinminingcentral (UK) - No problem as such, just very unprofessional, poor communication, prices not updated in timely fashion etc. Appears to be run from a domestic address

And I think you can also buy some new and used miners from https://www.zeusbtc.com/
Yup, Oleg is a fine gentleman. I had a few trades with him in 2019, all went smooth, not the best in terms of price if the order quantity is small, I can also vouch for https://t.me/minerexpertsales (graze), she is an honest seller and prices are ok for small quantities, so always check with both.
Hi Lbogris:
I have total 200PCs used Antminer L3+ that you can buying directly online from: https://www.minerbrother.com/product/used-antminer-l3-shipping-within-5-days/
and Used AntMiner S9j 14TH that you can buy from directly from online https://www.minerbrother.com/product/used-antminer-s9jpsu-included-shipping-now/
we accept crypto currency paying and there is some other Miner available you can check with https://www.minerbrother.com.
But nobody here knows you, it's safe to assume that it's pretty risky to deal with you, the majority of asic miners sellers are scammers, so this is nothing personal, you should offer the use of forum escrow or cash-on-delivery if you are serious about selling your miners.
Never heard miner seller offer COD or Escrow due to coin value fluctuations too fast.
We also running another miner online store, since this April until today at least $800,000 deals, all buyer buying Miner online directly, in some case I can bring some buyer as reference to potential buyers, some users should still in this forum.
Here is the deal/order records screenshot below for reference to you and everybody here.

To be honestly, No offense that some of our clients here was registered earlier than you which their level also legendary.
I posted some screenshot photo of our another store shows everybody here that we are trusted/ reliable online store, We have really stock if www.minerbrother.com store offered it.
I don't know someone else, but from our online store that we show our real company information that can be tracked: https://www.minerbrother.com/contact-minerbrother/
One experience share with you, if one company has USD A/C from China, it's should a real company indeed.
Would some of those legendary members please post here...
until that it's a claim without proof.
I have send you personal message but need waiting 10 mins due to restrict of posting message for that proof.
But obviously you are real legendary guy.
There is no such thing, you are guaranteed to get paid the amount agreed on when the escrow is done with their part, the price fluctuations are irrelvent.
Anyone can create such a list, it means nothing and it's worth exactly nothing.
Account rank can be irrelevant, many of the old era legendary accounts changed hands a dozen times, I am not sure why do you have to mention that your alleged clients registered here before me, it's off-topic, but just to piss you off I would like to let you know that I am top 10 most earned merit, DT member and highly trusted, my account is more trusted than a dozen other legendary accounts combined, and even with that - I don't go around the forum selling mining gears without offering the option of escrow.
I do not care who your clients are, if you are counting on getting a vouch from 1 or 2 random legendary members that nobody around here trusts - it will be useless, those accounts are sold for pretty cheap all over the internet, if you are going to bring someone here to vouch they need to be trusted, there is probably less than 50 members whose vouch will count, the rest will be useless and you still have to use escrow if you want to sell your stuff here.
He sent me a PM, saying that akminer is their another store.
Well, I don't know them either.
You said:
I asked:
Could that same legendary member please post here?
I'm eager to see who it is.
I think it is reasonable to demand some hard evidence about you, because especially with the current prices, you are close to same price levels as a car dealer. 20k USD is big money!
I've spent hours on Alibaba asking sellers about Mininers and looking for websites, without any real progress. This sector is full of moneygrabbers and lying people, read many bad reviews about shops not delivering or faulty equipment. The prices are too high and the machines are lied about their specs or they send old used miners when they upgrade their machines resulting in faulty items. "Sellers" don't have stock. I'd be surprised to find an honest shipping website, they don't exist.
Actually the most highest order is around 90K USD direct paid, I show you screenshot that buyer from a north america country.
We have miners in hand as first hand so should be source of supply.

As professional buyer, I don't think they are going to buying miner from Alibaba, specially for some high number miner.
Also most of those seller from Alibaba is not professional on cryptocurrency area, they are just young girl only speaking english.
We have own hosting farm and real first hand miner in hand, we also specify is Miner if are used on store clearly to avoid any mistakes.
We looking for long term cooperation.
Obviously this forum not my selling main battlefield, as experienced we have more efficiency way to selling products and service.
By the way, just reminder you that our top sales value is one order around USD 90K, those guy will help to expanding our sales because they will recommending customer to Us rather here to face a lot of risky to explain too much.
Almost all miner is come from China, specially from Shenzhen, as real have miner stock in hand, we are some source of supply for the deal/ agent / distributor around this world.
Think about it again. A lot of data shows that if you invest the same money in buying bitcoin, you can earn more than mining it
that's will be a gambling, however mining also kind gambling, just slow than invest buying bitcoin.
Yeah I agree, I mine BTC because of rentability. If BTC drops, I will keep my rigs powered off, and power on them when BTC will be higher.
And your reasoning doesn't take in consideration solo miners : if you have enough power to be able to solve blocks sometimes, you will earn more than you can ever invest in general. Take in consideration the fact that the ASICS doesn't lose value with time (when they are able to work), it depends of the BTC value.
So the magical formule could be : buy cheap asics when bitcoin drops, mine, and when bitcoin increase a lot, sell them. You will have BTC for the price of electricity, with free (and some beneficits) asics. In my case it works great ! (I personnaly don't pay my electricity at a high price, I know that this formule doesn't works for everyone)
A miner at any time, will usually cost you more in BTC than the BTC it will make mining.
At the moment that is definitely true, miners are being sold for WAY more $->BTC than the miner will ever mine.
Add on top of that the cost of running it (time and electricity)
Also, the BTC will arrive slowly over the following year or more and thus if there is a peak at any point where you want to sell the generated BTC, it will of course not be the total BTC.
If instead you just buy BTC, you will get more BTC, you will get it up front, and also be able to decide when to sell that BTC at a profit.
