Title: I need an advice when buying Antminer S9
Post by: PetrovichCoinMaster on January 28, 2018, 04:48:15 PM
Hello! I need some advice.

I have the opportunity to buy directly from the manufacturer in China, several Antminer S9 at a delicious price. Does it make sense to buy them now? How to calculate the approximate time they will be relevant?

Thanks for the replies!

What price and from where first of all, beware of the many scams out there, as these are quite hard to come by often a good price plus in stock is a little bit dodgy. Also have in mind that Dragonmint will release a 16th miner in the next few months which will be more profitable than the s9 currently is. However if bitcoin rallies again to over 20k then i can see the s9 still being profitable for a while but to know fully i would have to know the price your going to pay to know whether it makes sense or not. Also calculate import fees if it is from China.

My friend has been supplying textile equipment directly from the manufacturer in China. From which province do not know exactly. Price is about $4000 including all costs.

Given that they are releasing a third batch on their website for 2320 $4000 is obviously not a great price now and at that price you will see a very long payback period on it so i dont think it is worth it. Either save the money and wait for a new miner and get in on the 1st batch or look at other options such as Baikal Miners, L3+ or even dragonmint.

Guys thanks for the advice! Most likely, they decided to fool me. I will reconsider and do the right thing.
