[OPEN Batch#2] Gridseed hosted(or not) groupbuy 190$/unit or 150$ with hosting

[ar9]

I noticed that the majority of those who "purchased" are registered in the last 2 weeks.

Seller avoiding simple questions.
Seller not adhering to timeline he outlined.

This is a scam.  Hope someone has some information on this guy, or your coins are gone.

[yeahright]

I usually like to give the benefit of the doubt but with all these posts I'm starting to get worried.  I only ordered one but still want to get my miner.

Hopefully OP comes back with a reply.

OP needs more than a reply to prove he's not a scammer. 
Unfortunately, I foresee the OP coming in here, (or just leaving altogether) and explaining that he has had some issues with GridSeed/customs, giving this scam another 3-4 days to suck in one or two more members.

This is a scam.

I think rest of them is also as "genuine" as this one

[djek31]

You can get all those pics from alibaba!

I suggest all of you report this to your local police department ASAP.  Save the OP as a file to preserve the fraud, then go from there.

Guys,  I don't know if this is a scam.

BUT, allow me to give you some FACTS:

1. GRIDSEED only take orders directly if the order is bigger than 500 units, for a small order like 200 units, they pass to resellers. I believe you are not ordering from Gridseed. Probably their Chinese reseller diginforce?
2. GRIDSEED wholesale price is $158 for 500-999 units and $155 for 1000+ units. NO ONE will get a better price (unless you are a friend of their CEO)
3. Even if you buy from GRIDSEED directly, you need to pay for domestic shipping (They use SF-Express, and customers pay for shipping), forwarder handling fee, international shipping.

YOU DO THE MATH!


Maybe this is a really good offer and they are making loss by offering a price of $150.  To me, too good to be true.



Sorry  jefe541 I believe you know what I said was all true. Maybe you have other plans to get profit.

Bingo. All absolutely correct.

If this guy is offering 277 by PM for 100USD I can guarantee you it's a scam. That is an unachievable price.

i offered 277 hosted unit at 100usd, it's my offer it's my thread, i will earn with fees and anyway it's not your business.

i'm bored of this false scam accusation, i'll receive the goods on monday/tuesday and i'll post pics first to dispatch them.

Gridseed cheapest price direct from manufacturer is 155 USD

you are losing well over 10k GBP on this deal once shipping etc is factored in.

277 Gridseed overclocked to 400 (I'm being really generous here) earn around  220GBP per day

You take 5%. Thats 11 quid per day.

Explain to me how your business model works and you are going to get back the 10K you just lost on the sale by taking 11 quid a day in fees, Because I don't see it.

You answer yourself..277 overclocked to 400 its 123 of earn that earn about 4btc only 1st month(2400$) + 230 ltc only 1st month(3910$)
+ 5% of 277 units. This is only the first month.

Yes, but you don't get the mining funds, the buyer does. All you get is the 11 quid per day. You can't get your money back. Therefore I can only assume it isn't legit unless you can convince me otherwise.

I received a tracking number from OP that is not tracking as of now. I hope it is legit and it actually gets sent. I am not sure why he keeps stringing this along if it is a scam..? So at least that is what I have going for me.

From OP:::::DHL tracking number: 5869761305

it will show up by tomorrow.

[katoman]

Nothing on my order......

[yeahright]

Me too OP when do you expect to send us our tracking numbers?

He would keep stringing it along in the hopes of a few more people dropping off the fence and sending him money. After all, it doesn't cost him anything.

[apollojmr]

It looks like we got got. It is a good thing I made 10k on stocks today because I lost 3k here:(

[CoinHoarder]

I was very weary of this offering from the onset due to his price for hosted units being lower than Gridseed's wholesale price.

However, I try to stay out of competitors threads because all that brings is drama.

I wish now I would of voiced my concern, I hope no one lost too much money and please be careful in the future.

Cheers

i hope you guys get back your miners... i was also interested in this deal but got out as soon as op said there would be no escrow... the thing is if you already prepaid upfront and announced about the wire made before group buy has ended, shouldn't be escrow easy? usually escrow is impossible when funds are being collected to pay upfront but in this case it appears wire was already sent ahead of group buy end... anyway op if you prove me wrong i'd be more than happy...

[Kergekoin]

Damn. This is thread is getting bad fast... Copied pictures from internet? Really?
Good thing that i waited until this clears out.
I consider this guy a scammer now.
