bitwizzard i understand what your saying (you think youve found cheaper) but  if you buy direct from china thats upto you however your dealing direct and that's at your risk so you have probably no escrow, shipping is extra, the risk of it arriving trashed in transit then having to return it to china for repair only to never see it again as many members have found out.  Where as we are buying in the components and assembling most of it here, then you have the 20-25% tax and duties on top when buying direct which is always a surprise shock when the bill comes through.  

We trying to offer something simple and  clearer, price you see is price you pay nothing added on top, escrow for buyer security and of course full local back up and support not a company in china who will probably vanish when the shit hits the fan like so many we've seen do.

Thinking further this machine will earn well over 250 usd per week so by the time you messed around buying direct and negotiating with a supplier yourself from china, then waiting for them to send your order iron out any of the problems, paid any of the extras you've probably lost out on 1-2 weeks mining which is over $500 usd in any case  .
