[quote author=crazypaul007 link=topic=5345tto buy some more miners.
I've had a major issue with buying some S17's from Alibaba. They were advertised with good working tests but when I received them they work for 30 minutes then the chips start failing and hashrate drops to nearly nothing. Alibaba wouldn't accept my return and sided with the seller, so I'm $7500 out of pocket.
Is it possible to order new miners online? I've seen a few sites online in China selling Canaan Avalon miners and showing stock, but not sure if it's a scam?

If you are buying used miners, many of them don't transport well after a certain age.
I have been able to successfully buy both new and used miners from vendors on Alibaba. I posted several in another thread or go to
http://seaturtlemining.com and look under mining operations. The company names are there too.
You can also try to buy directly from the manufacturer, I got T2T-26Th from Innosilicon and they showed up fine. New ones travel better.
Bitmain has some non-BTC miners on Pre-order. Innosilicon may have that 26Th still open.
If BTC miners, the S19J 100Th's just came in for June and there may be some available. Price varies when you in the secondary market especially as BTC moves up.
