SCAM ALERT: There is a user PMing people in this this thread using a similar user name such as 'Benny198"S" offering payment info. This is not me. I do not need to provide you a BTC address for payment. Our official site uses GoCoin to invoice and handle payments.

Hi guys,

I did a search and saw what kind of GB's were available for the S3, and how there is seemingly none going on. For those wanting to buy just one unit, you may want to look into what I am offering, as its cheaper than Ebay/Amazon/ect, and we're accepting all major forms of payment, including credit cards, unlike all other vendors that I've seen (sans EBay/Amazon charging 10% above what we're asking).

I am placing another order for AntMiner S3's. Yet again, you can use our store to purchase them using Credit Cards, Amazon Payments, or GoCoin. For larger volume orders, we can do a wire + a sizable discount on volume orders. The price starts at $450 USD per unit. As per BitMain, this would ship to us on August 7th, and then ship to you on/around August 10th or 11th, depending on when they clear customs.

We are offering a refund program if in case we miss the batch 5 target. If they sell out/move to Batch 6 and reduce the price, we will offer a discount directly proportional to whatever discount they make. This way, if you get the product late, you get a discount (assuming BitMain reduces the price).

The URL to purchase is: http://buyahash.com/shop/antminer-s3-440-ghs-asic-miner/

Seemingly, AntMiner is still claiming the 441 GH/s hashrate on this round of machines. Please note this, as the initial quoted speed was 480, but was reduced.

Thank you so much!





The post for Batch #3 was as follows:
________________________________
The fiat price is $500 USD each, or about 0.78 BTC including FedEx Group shipping (2.5% off for BTC orders) in the US.

Unlike other GBs, I've already fronted the money to BitMain to pay for the first 55, which was completed today. I anticipate delivery on the 20th or 22nd as per the last E-mail I've received from them. This was their "Batch #3" as per their website - we wired the funds the day prior to them selling out.

You can buy them through our webstore:

http://buyahash.com/shop/antminer-s3-480-ghs-asic-miner/

I have 55 on order from them. If we sell out, I'll look at buying more if we have the funds available to do so. I'll keep the price updated as best as I can to ensure that if BitMain drops the price on subsequent batches/shipments, we can do the same as well.

Shipping will be first-come-first served. We utilize shipping processors that will automatically generate tracking information for you upon order, so you don't need to worry about knowing if/when your order gets shipped out.

Thanks!

Unlike traditional banking where clients have only a few account numbers, with Bitcoin people can create an unlimited number of accounts (addresses). This can be used to easily track payments, and it improves anonymity.

Where are you shipping from?  Are these from batch 1?

Can anyone vouch for this guy?

You can look at my trust rating. You can also look at the fact that we've done a ton of business on Amazon with a 97%+ positive feedback rating:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aag/main/ref=olp_merch_name_1?ie=UTF8&asin=B00HP4M2KU&isAmazonFulfilled=0&seller=A2X6P52S5O7ZVU

We don't have the S3's on Amazon yet, as I really don't like doing pre-orders on Amazon. Otherwise, I can probably ask a few BTalk users to come to this thread to vouch for me otherwise.

he is letting you order 1 machine and use a credit card at the best price on earth . (for non btc orders)

so if you want 1 machine order from him.  use your credit card and wait.

if you are like me use btc and order 2 or more from bitmaintech's website.

I can vouch for him. I've been doing business with Ben for well over a year and I also ordered over $10k of gridseeds from him a few months back when he was one of the first to get the bulk pricing on them in the US. Never a problem with any transactions.

If you have enough BTC for 2 then order direct from Bitmain, but if you only want one and /or using a Credit Card, consider this offer.

This is all correct. If anyone is worried, you can always call us. We really haven't done a lot of AntMiner business, until the very end of the S1, and we've had a lot of capital freed up lately to try and persue more S3 sales. We're working on creating a much larger and more robust presence in retail sales, so hopefully this is the first post of a lot more. Generally, I don't post here because I sell out of everything when its offered (I've done Blue and Red Fury pre-orders before, but generally hate pre-orders unless I know the factory will ship when they say they will).

And like Boldar said - the idea behind this is to offer legitimate fiat payments for S3's at reasonable rates. On Amazon, I know they are going for $50-100 more due to the Amazon tax. This allows us to sell at the most rock-bottom prices. But I do plan on raising the prices to $525-550 if we have any left when we take physical delivery of the batch.

I may order one. can I reserve one?  

here is my deal I have 2 paid for in  batch one. I ordered in the first hour or so of orders.

  I decided I need a third, but not a fourth.  I would like to reserve one and pay for it when I get my first 2.

 Since  the first 2 should come days ahead of batch 3  we should be good.

 If they come and have a crazy bad issue I would cancel the reservation.

If they come and they work I would pay for the one I reserved from you.

Went ahead and ordered a few from you.  The Antminer S3 looks pretty solid on paper so i'm hoping to have them up and running by the end of this month.

I believe in you, Benny!  Don't let me down!




it takes amazon payments?  that is really good.

 I have an amazon visa I get 3%  so it is almost as cheap as direct from bitmaintech. 500 - 3%

 is 485 a unit  pretty good.

Just checked out the site and it looks like I can pay with my amazon visa.

So 485 will be my net cost.  I am still waiting on info on my order for two from bitmaintech.
