Well, In telegram, we discussed.
He has no free money and cant front the purchase. 
And I cant send money/coin to a stranger and "hope" they're legit.

It's one heckuva deal, but not worth risking a $2k loss over.

Cant PM you cuz I'm a newbie here (you can change that in your user settings).
But I will take an S17 53th.

Lets figure out the deal, Pm me, arrange escrow

So far so good sounds like.

I'll be looking to do the same.
 

I'm interested in an S17... how do we arrange payment?    Escrow ?

From what I understand, they were having trouble getting the chips. A lot of companies were selling for +/- $2700 with an expected Aug ship date, back in July.  I had placed an order for 3 with a reputable company in FLA.  I was contacted by that company and told that Bitmain was unable to fulfill orders on time and had jacked up prices to $4k.   
 
  I cancelled my orders and grabbed two on eBay.  Still have my eyes peeled for a third one

I'm looking at adding one more S17 to my little home mining hobby. Was looking at Kaboomracks and Mr Offord's posts, but I just can't figure out how to work the Telegram app.  (Yeah, I'm old... tired of adding new apps)

If anyone is looking to unload an S17, shoot me a message with price and we can start a conversation. Open to entertaining all S17 versions depending on price.

My previous offer still stands, and is negotiable.  You have my email. I can pick up up this week

Email sent.

Can you give me an idea of where in PA you are.   I'm southeast PA, and if close enough, might be able to avoid shipping/trust issues

Plus... if youre building a farm.... id love to pick your brain

ETA:  found your City in your user data...   I'm like 50-60 mi from you. (Berks)
 Tried to send you a pm, but I'm a newb member.      Prolly shouldn't put my email or cell # in public here.... so send me a pm and hopefully i can reply.

Good point.  
Also wondering why no one's heard of this unit anywhere else.  The only place I see it is on their website.  And that was after they they listed S17 Pro's on Amazon for $2700, and are now telling people they cant get the shipment.

Anyone hear about these yet?

Certainly not as efficient as others, but the price point seems a little more feasible than the $5k S17's

Varispin is a solar company, based in China with a US office in Miami. One of the guys in my stock trading discord room has spoken to a Miami rep, and should be getting one of these units late this month. I'll update as I hear more from him.
