It's a shame you're in Texas as my friend has 6 of these for sale you can pickup for a really cheap price considering.
Have you tried approaching Bitmine with an offer. I think they still have a ton of these they haven't sold because they are asking ridiculous prices.
I could of sworn Bitmine was out of business and liquidating in bankruptcy already, but I can give them a try.
I could buy 6 but looking for more like 50. Shipping would kill from Canada or US, does he happen to cross the border every now and then?
