No,miners are not selling like hotcakes.They are expensive and people buy them only from trusted traders.
The PayPal buyer protection is a bad option for you,because someone could buy the miner and get a refund after a few weeks or months.I still don`t know why so many eBay sellers risk so much, when selling stuff like this.Anyway,you have to use escrow and you have to find buyers interested in crypto mining.How many Amazon and eBay buyers are interested into this?I would say less than 0.1%.

Bitcoin FTW!
It's probably the new seller thing that's discouraging people from buying the miner as well as PayPal. Most people on the forums don't like to use PayPal, much less with someone with a new account. If you'd use escrow at the very minimum you'll definitely get bites. Lowering the price to maybe $4000 US may also help a bit.

Hi there,

I have one S9 I'm trying to sell.

I priced it at what others were selling it for on the forums, but for some reason I'm not getting interest. Granted, I asked to use PayPal and not an Escrow. PayPal has buyer protection and I'm not familiar with escrows.

Also posted it on Amazon and again no bites. (Granted I'm a new seller and there's a "warning new guy here" label above the sales name.)
I even discounted it considerably below the lowest price.

I thought these things were supposed to sell like hotcakes?

Where else should I try to sell and what am I doing wrong? At this point, I feel mining would just be more profitable but I don't want to degrade the value by using it.

I don't want to post the link in the forums since I don't want to self-promote here. (I guess if you were creative you could check my older posts by username.)
