Since this an existing piece of hardware you shouldn't have any problems researching to search out the company's history and reviews. If they're promising you the moon it may be worth digging into the company and their products a little further.

From some research it seems that it allegedly works for some, while others swear it's a scam. In the first link, you'll see mostly scam allegations and in the second link you'll see a lot of comments assuring it's real. That said, it's really up to you if you want to trust them. Alternatively, you could go the bitmain route-they are very reputable-though you might experience a large wait-time due to demand.

Most likely, it's a scam just looking at the site design alone. THere is obviously a chance that it's legit, but would you really want to take that chance at all when you can buy from other legitimate hardware sellers?

Again, check out the scam accusation thread. There are clearly people who have been scammed, and I don't think that is disputed. Some have been ignored via email, and one person actually had to dispute the transaction on paypal to get his money back.

OP, please don't use it. The risk is just too high, imo, when they already have a track record of being potential scammers.

Quite an old website but i dont think this is legit one specially on the free shipping that they do offer.
Dont easily trust out websites other than bitmain itself.

Based on the reviews that I see, opinions are quite divided. Some say that it's completely legit and is safe to use, others say that it's a scam. There's one guy who had issues and said that they're legit, but are extremely understaffed: https://litecointalk.io/t/asicminermarket-com-complete-lack-of-contact-with-customer/2819/3

I don't think there is any point in buying from them, when there are that many negative reviews.

The website itself screams scam to me as well, since it is extremely poorly designed. Personally, I would definitely try to avoid this site. Even if they offer good deals, I don't think it's worth taking the risk with them. You're sending an irreversible transaction to them with crypto, once they receive it, you have no control over anything. They're not even located in the US, I don't think, and they're saying free shipping on all products, which is suspicious.
