I go with what @SFR10 has said. The best place to look for mining hardware is that "Computer Hardware" section of this forum.

Few things you should keep in mind:

1. There are many websites coming up on the internet showing sales of miners - these are often fake and you are having no good method of verifying the site to be a legit or not by just looking at it. Older well known sites are trustworthy but I have seen many people complain on this forum about less known but recently bought domains showing such sales and these have ended up being scam.

2. When buying stuff from this forum, make sure to use an escrow and never send money directly to the seller.

NB. I hope you have done your homework on how to ROI from Mining because post-2013 the difficulty rise and hashpower competition has rendered bitcoin mining to be almost a negative ROI investment unless you are having a huge farm with a huge number of miners. But that is a topic for another section.

I was curious to know what are some good places, sites, chat rooms, or sources for equipment.

for used equipment
Since you mentioned "used", then you might want to check the "Computer hardware" board of this forum.
Take note: That board is no exception when it comes to scammers, so always buy/sell with the help of an escrow provider.

It's not a bad idea to buy mining rigs locally but you just have to make sure you are buying tested and working miners, also I would prefer buying new mining equipment either asicminer or graphics cards the best place I use for shopping is AliExpress and Amazon, most especially the ASIC miners it is better to buy them on official websites if you can't find the exact type you're looking for on Amazon like Bitmain and innosilicon miners

> Bitmain.com
> Innosilicon.com

Hi!

I suppose everyone and their friends are looking for mining hardware these days (same here!). I was curious to know what are some good places, sites, chat rooms, or sources for equipment. If you do not want to share I understand. Industry secrets and all that.

Locally I use Kijiji (Canadian classified ads site) for used equipment close to me. Depending on the time of year and market conditions the quality of the equipment varies.

Where do you find your equipment?
