There are tons of them on that website. Anyone have a reliable seller?

I spent a lot of time going through the sellers, asking for quotes, yadda yadda yadda. Bottom line is they all bump the price up at the end, and from what I hear many are frauds. You are better off paying for one or more on eBay or Amazon, getting it in a few days and getting them hashing. That is unless you don't want to just grab one for $1415 direct and wait 45 days or so

can I know about your country? You have to first see that which country is near to you which supply antminer s9 then ask from there it will reduce the price of shipping. I recently got connected with a company from whom I ordered the graphic cards and they also have antminer s9.

Although you've seen a ton of it, doesn't mean it's worth to buy.
Personally, I like to buy the new product instead of buying it somewhere else which maybe ever used before.
If you decide to buy ASICs, make sure you can check the items before paying it as there are possibilities it won't work properly.

I would only buy from Alibaba if I have some person , a cousin or a friend of mine located at where the seller is so he can go pick it up after we agreed the price with the seller. I would never buy something from Alibaba and wait from the seller to ship it. A friend of mine was cheated from some persons who put a great car for sale at 4000 dollars and never received. He contacted Chinese police but nothing was done so Alibaba is a big no from me.

Not sure what he expected.
On topic, you should watch out for shipping fee, duties, taxes or other fees you might not have thought of.
It has a big impact on your ability to get ROI.

Be very careful on Alibaba, great website and all, but there are also tons of scammers on there, second only to bitcoitalk. you must use common sense just like every other online market place. Check if the seller is a gold supplier, It is a paid membership and sellers are verified before they can obtain it. The longer the seller has been on the platform also help, for instance Gold supplier 5th Year, is safer than a 3rd year merchant.
