Looks like my post was moved to marketplace from group buys.

$1k for an s9 looks appealing. Anyone to test the waters for us all?

It may look appealing but this is a new company and I don't know how serious and reliable they are. If you are really appealed by the 1K price for group buy , just go check Amazon, there is a single T9 antminer which is almost same as S9 a few THS less but you can get it as low as 909 dollars so worth a try.And it is quieter too. You can get a used one even for 775 dollars so I think you should check Amazon out.

I know some countries have pretty high customs fees, but there's zero reason to buy a miner from Amazon at all, especially the T9+, when you can get a $400 Bitmain coupon for around $100 on these forums and shave off $300, and the T9+s supposedly ship about nine days from now in a worst-case scenario according to Bitmain's site (though they are occasionally wrong).

The T9s and T9+s are completely different miners with different internal designs and specifications . Please do not refer to the T9+ as a T9. The original T9 did 12.5TH stock, while the new T9+s do 10.5TH stock as a starter. The original T9 also housed 171 chips instead of the 162 in the T9+, and the T9 is slightly more efficient than the T9+ (0.126W/GH vs 0.136W/GH).
