Hi everyone. I came across a site where some guy was selling 120 gh/s avalon miners for around 370$. I was wondering if anyone knew about this website or this seller. Here's the link: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/120GH-s-Bitcoin-miner-BTC-Miner-Avalon-1module-Generation-2-55nm-Chip-Bitcoin-Miner-mining-machine/1637373581.html

You may or may not lose your money but you won't get a miner.  A lot of those have been popping up on aliexpress...some of it broken junk...some outright scams.
I would skip it.

I only have a signature because I'm allowed.

Straight scam! Seller has no feedback, none of the buyers received theirs yet. And if you take a closer to look to some of his pictures, his watermarks are placed on top of someone else's watermark! Some sellers on aliexpress are legit, but this is a straight hoax

That price is impossible.

More reputable sellers were selling them $1900 a few weeks ago.  They are blowing out the Avalon clones, but the chips are outdated and use alot of energy.

better to be careful with offers like that.

If you want to buy hardware better from trusted sellers.
