 That's a fair question. I would say yes. It's with a reputable mining company that I host with now and they're paying out the way they should. 

I asked them if they had used rigs for sale. They didn't approach me. If that helps

 "Approach" is an irrelevant term... They've probably been cyberstalking you and you think that you "discovered" them... The internet machine is terrible!

 I reached out to them and already have a history with them. Good point though

 yeah but scams are at a high level these days. Verify, don't trust 😉 

If you're confident, do ONE purchase not a bulk order. If it's too good to be true, it generally is.

 due diligence is one hell of a drug https://image.nostr.build/0b2c18ec3c195eebf3a6e6296dc1d4ac1f225c5f4c01e0a4fb54952d0f68d248.jpg

 May I ask why?

 Just had a weird feeling and enough people recommended against it. If I can get the price lower I will. Looks like at current prices I'd be paying out around $2.00

 two dollars?  

yeah, as Mike said earlier re fees and prices. He's more knowledgeable on mining than most here. 

If he says bail, then yeah consider it.

 they could be selling you defunct rigs,  without any means of return, warranty or repair. Or the rig could "die" in 6 months and you're left in the shitter.
