Topic: anyone buying bulk deals on gpus on alibaba? (Read 2037 times)
For those that have had a successful purchase I'd like to know which supplier you went through. I just about purchased $10k worth of GPUs last night from a company but thought that I'd check with Alibaba and make 100% sure things were legit as I don't like sending WU orders (I guess this is somewhat normal on Alibaba). After they did 15-20 minutes of research they advised me not to purchase with that retailer as they believe the page may have been hacked. Companies pages are getting hacked during this GPU craze and you can chat with them via Alibaba and it can feel 100% legit but if you don't pay through Alibaba's Assurance option on the site they do not recommend it right now for GPUs. This guy even called me and gave me the whole run down of his operation for about 20 minutes on the phone. He had me convinced but my gut was still not on board. Anyways I'm ready to pull the trigger on 50-100 GPUs (depending on price) and if anyone knows where I can get this amount in bulk I would gladly pay a finders fee.
I've messaged some of the "vendors" though the site and they all tell you to contact them via their Whatsapp or Gmail contacts which scares me away.
I have bought some supporting hardware for mining from Alibaba, but the GPU vendors all seem very shady, especially with the non actionable money transfers they want you to do (WU money to Turkey for a supplier in China?!?!?).
If they won't invoice me through Paypal, I don't buy it, and NONE of the GPU suppliers I contacted would take a safe (for me) payment method.
I find directly from the supplier you want is the best, I got a bunch of cards directly from EVGA at a fair price.

id like to know how you do this too. haven't had much luck getting ahold of msi. how many did you have to order to get them from the manufacturer?
I'm just curious if anyone's on that and how the cards are working out
i don't buy there it's often look liek a scam to me, better to buy from trusted reseller, newegg amazon ebay are good and they are not out of stock like many believe, i still see good amount of gpu, with nvidia at least, amd is a bit on shortage yes
they seem to all be on shortage. I bought some msi 1060 gaming x 6gbs. I'm liking them a lot and would like another batch, but all I see them for is about 2x as much now. maybe some other 1060s are available, but I'm not seeing that people like them nearly as much. what kind are you running and where are you seeing nvidias available?

How did you arrange that with EVGA?
Thanks

Tried contacting sellers before they don't respond, feels sketchy to me buying from China tbh.
Yep, generally DAF and good luck getting a refund or any customer service from most of these 'vendors'
