Going to tell everyone that this is not legit. If you are willing to fall for this, then you deserve to be scammed. Current backorders on 1070 and tis across the 3 major manufacturers are in the hundreds of thousands, and everyone is willing to pay $500+, while Nvidia manufacturers and custom manufacturers are charging over $400 per gpu and selling out right away. I work with manufacturers, and even p104-100 manufacturers, and guarantee this is not legit. I will contact my Nvidia contact and confirm this next week.

Spewing this bullshit in the BTCP discord, and here. We have been ordering truck loads of cards regularly over the past 2 years from various manufacturers, including direct from Nvidia. Bulk orders get priority. May of this year you didn't know how to build a rig, I'm gonna go ahead and assume your time "working with manufacturers" hasn't garnered you the ability to make the big deals.

Lol, go ahead then. I might not have built mining rigs before this year, but i have been reselling computer parts for multiple years. I run a large resale business for computer parts. Big deals, really? We have ordered many bulk orders, but not recently have you been able to do it directly especially at a rate of $350 per 1070 Ti. I have been getting in many GPU's under MSRP even recently. Its funny how your a january account backing another brand new account, that you do not know anything. Also have you ever done a bulk order from Nvidia, because i guarantee you or your company hasn't. "oh were getting unbranded 1070 ti boards from Nvidia directly $350 a pop), thats a complete load of bullshit. Ordering from Nvidia is a lot harder to do, and they are not open for these measly small orders. Also their bulk for 1070 tis along with all the other manufacturers is a lot higher than $350 per card. MSRP has increased on the cards, due to all the shortages on ram, micro processors, micro pcbs, etc. You cannot get a 1070 ti under $425 each from manufacturer shipment even if you ordered $10 million worth.

Its funny how a brand new account, listing a website that is new and linked to a building that is available for rent. No suite number, nothing.

First of all this is much larger than a $10million order, second of all he told me on the phone how his partner is with Kingston and helped them work out a deal to get NVIDIA memory they needed in return for allowing this group buy to take priority. Amir also is accepting escrow, but if you are not comfortable with that he is accepting the other method of payment through your own bank where the funds don’t leave your account until you have inspected and approved the merchandise, which Amir said we could fly out to the port where they will be arriving and inspect ourselves or have an Agent do it for us. I’m driving to Manhattan Sunday to sit down with one of my partners and with Amir and Evan to discuss in further detail, if anyone has any specific questions you would like me to ask in person feel free to let me know. And just because you can’t or haven’t brokered a deal of this size doesn’t mean nobody has the skills or resources to. But please if you have a contact at NVIDIA let’s see what they say. I’m not sure them not knowing about this deal would mean anything I’m sure there are many, many people there who know nothing about it.
