I have a antminer S9 on ebay for sale and received a message tonight from a buyer. They wanted me to take a picture of my miner with their name next to it. This seems extremely odd to me. I think the name they wanted was 65topazgirl or something like that. This was earlier today and it just hit me its probably someone trying to scam on here, it actually disgusts me all the scumbags out to get you.

I am seeing crazy prices on Ebay for prefork Satoris 150.00-200..00 each. I figured I would list some and a few rolls. The 2 25 count rolls didnt last 6 hours at 2150.00 per roll. Whats up with the crazy prices, now Im thinking I was to cheap.

SCAMMER!!!!

What happened::
I posted in collectibles I was looking for a 1BTC Casascius Gilt coin. Ertoic toothpaste sent me a pm stating he had one and wouldnt take 2.0BTC for it. He then posted in under collectibles. I was going back and fourth with him and he said he had someone offer 2.1BTC if I gave him 2.2BTC it was mine. I agreed to the deal and sent him .50BTC while coinbase cleared my purchase. I sent the balance of 1.7BTC 2 or so days later and he said he would ship the coin out Tuesday 9/5/17 being Monday was a Holiday here in the USA Labor Day. I still have not received the coin nor any messages from him. He was logging in daily and sending PM messages daily to me until I paid him.  He setup the perfect scam, came across as a very honest seller to get my trust. I put Trust into him because he had dealings with others on Laptops but all were escrow. Real Scumbag is what he is!!

Anyone have a Casascius .50 Silver they want to part with? Let me know

What happened::

He had a post for a silver Casascius .50 to see its value but no pictures. I asked for pics so he sent a few to me and being new here I didnt ask for the date and name next to it, He said make him a offer so I did and he accepted. I sent .80BTC and havent heard from him since other than him leaving me bad trust saying I ripped him off on the .5 coin. He leaves one trust saying I ripped him then leaves another saying he sold it to a real buyer?? doesnt add up. I have all the proof needed, his PM messages to me, bogus pics and the transaction for the payment. I was on Ebay and saw a .5 Silver Casascius and its the same coin so I sent that person a message and its not Yoandy10! He took the pics off Ebay. I then started digging deeper and saw he had a Casascius 1BTC for sale and another member called him out and said wasnt that just sold on Ebay a few days ago, his reply was yes he was the seller. That sellers name on Ebay was Yoandy100886 or something so I contacted that person and they knew nothing about this coin being on here for sale either as it was sold, no truth about anyone backing out. This guy is bad news!!! He took advantage of a newbie and came off real sincere then screwed me for .80BTC stay away!!

I cannot believe people are buying the silencers on Ebay for almost 5 times the price they should be. These are nothing other than a HVAC duct silencer, all you have to do is a little homework with a 10 second google search and you will find them. I guess some people think its something special bitmain is making for the antminer.
