Can someone point me to the best person to buy an avalon gen 2 miner from thats running around 120 - 230 GH/s. If you have more then 1 trusted that would be even better. I cant tell who to trust and who to not on there.

best advice as the guys implied is not to buy from aliexpress. there's a thread here somewhere... There seems to be one reliable seller on there called sinosigma or something. if you make sure you're really dealing with them, not some guy using their photos...

suggest you don't order an avalon clone as china is all but closed for the holidays.

if you're desperate, talk to forum member ninelives at mininghardware.co.uk

Check out forum member studio1one, if you're in the UK you can pick one up in person, or he'll ship them out worldwide I believe, send him a message

I'm confused why you expect anything different during a two week national holiday in China?

What are the dates of that holiday? Some say it starts on 31st Jan, others say it started already?

Yeah, you have to account for the few days for the shippers to get stuff moved, so I think most places were taking last Friday as the last shipping day.  I don't think things get back in to action again until 10th Feb.

OK thanks. I live in Thailand and the Chinese community only take a few days off for Chinese New Year, but it seems China itself is very different.
