I just spend a frustrating time trying to buy Antminer S9's on bitmain website during batch release.  Got several into the cart and during checkout process they sold out..  HAS TO BE A BETTER WAY.

I have been reading that BitMain will sell 200 units at a time.

Is there any interest for a United States based buying group?

A mechanism where you feel secure that you will get product, money put into escrow or a trust, where it is only spent on buying the product, product is shipped in bulk to location here in USA  (I am in Dallas, Texas), and then from there it is shipped out..

I see a guy in Canada is setting up a group, they plan to charge 20 %.    I do not think the fee needs to be anywhere near 20 %.

Any interest?   If so I will really look into this.

I did buy a couple of units on Amazon, it was costly, I bought when BTC was higher than it is now, I do want to buy more but not at $ 5500 each (ebay prices now)
