Title: How to buy from Gridseed directly?
Post by: manfred87 on August 08, 2014, 08:57:06 AM
Hey,

i am always interested in good hardware deals.. i sometimes tried to contact gridseed directly, but they need weeks and write mostly confusing stuff.. did anybody order at them directly? or do you think there is a language barrier and they simpley can not speak englisch?

here my correspondence with sales@gridseed.com

From my experience they only deal in bulk and don't ship outside China.

They only sell to resellers such as Beastlymac, MinerEU, GAWMiners and others. And yes, only in bulk at discounted prices.
If you're going to buy 1 Gridseed A1, I would give you the same answer. Go and buy from a reseller.

They were likely looking to drum-up sales, and simply would have sent that message to everyone who had contacted them enquiring about making a purchase. It probably wasn't targeted directly at you, and I would be very surprised if they were offering single items and not simply listing a unit price for an item they're now trying to shift.

Because it probably not the real Gridseed. It's most likely a scam. Never, NEVER order via email or Skype! You're just begging to be ripped-off.

Wow, someone replied "yes", so it's real!
Welcome to the real world. Email addresses can easily be spoofed. If you are ever conducting a trade, ask the other guy to GPG sign something or sign it with their address.

As I know, Gridseed don't sell miners to individual buyers directly. You can contact its official distributor  ;)
