[pippen88]

I after just sitting around and trying to find the best price for antminer s9 in india. I came to know very quickly that its impossibile to get in India.
But i stumble upon people thru indiamart who are claiming to have 5-50pcs of S9 at a fraction of the cost available in countries where there any customs duty.

Same. I contacted many sellers in indiamart and quikr too. They were selling antminer s9 and l3+ at a range of 50k-100k rupees. I too was surprised at the price they told.

They also said the same thing to me, that they are currently going on "December offer" and thats why the rates are cheap.

After talking with them, everyone said that they dont have the antminers in India. they will ship it from USA upon customer's order and after the payment is being done.

This doesn't sound right to me.

Also, they probably say that the offer is valid for this week and so on, so that the customer can rush to buy the product, that is transferring the money to their account.

None of the sellers I talked to had a facebook page, or a website, or an office location in google maps.

for me the biggest giveaway was BRO

Also i live in Chennai and Indiamart had said there is one like less than 500 meters from my house.. I told him can i come and see you in person ? He said no sorry i had put that address for our Chennai customers. We are based out of Punjab and process all orders from Punjab.

Totally same. I also was informed that they are situated in Punjab. I requested a call and they agree. It was some white guy lol. With white accent. He said his name was Aditi and he is punjabi but lives in USA and thats why the accent. He said that they will accept 50% payment as advance, and the rest 50% after delivery. But I still don't trust them.

heights i tell you

I really am looking for a LEGIT S9.. Being so many issues in customs and all i wonder if there are any indians able to get them in..
Anyone have any idea ?

I am glad you didnt buy, the Punjab guy is fake, they even have an account in India and they lure customers giving dead cheap prices, when I said my friend in Punjab will pick it up he said they only do online delivery, so it is surely fake, dont fall for this scam. He has put Ads in Quikr, OLX etc. Be careful

  today I saw an s9 ad on quickr(bengaluru) for 8000 INR , I would have paid instantly if there was a door delivery option. there are ads like that posted all the time. I followed a few ads, 55 inch UHD tv's for 25k or less and an lg 55" oled tv for 45k. all my enquiries end up with a fake number(only you can whatsapp, you couldn't call.) and people(one was a foreigner, nigerian I guess) asking me to pay upfront and they would ship via dhl and it would reach within 2 days. when I asked if i could pick up directly, most of em told me that they were foreign country and the products will be shipped from the US within two days. even though the prices seem like dirt cheap, you would end up waiting and disappointed.isn't a broken promise that's more valuable than the money.

some other ads that were interesting were nvidia gtx 1080 for mere 16k(someone purchased via doorstep) and macbook pro for 20k(15" 2017 model), doorstep delivery was available. I made a purchase of ps4 with 11games and full VR kit for 11.5k, i hope it would get delivered and be working good. or else I will get my money back.(I will update how that ends)


Anyone have uses or dealt with coinsecure exchange? how's the review?

Yes, the Internet always has many fake persons, but we can easily make a mining rig if we invest 2 to 2.5 lac in India.
we can also assemble a mining rig buying on Amazon or we can buy full rig at eBay. hope it helps someone.
