I have utilized this site (bitcointalk) quite a bit over the last few weeks educating myself on a multitude of topics. I figured it is time to give something back that is useful to the community or what I believe to be useful. So, I was on an asic miner site, saw a web banner I had not seen before offering equipment for sale, then I was redirected from the advertised site in transit after clicking on the banner and landed at
https://coinsgear.com/. That certainly aroused my curiosity. I noticed right away the https:// so I mean it is possible it wasn't of course a scam or anything. However, there is some level of sophistication that was put into this site's operation. So, for historical analysis for people later researching this site I add the following.
As I write this it is August 11, 2017 at 10PM EST USA. The site (according to the Whois record) was created 2018-08-08T14:08:07Z. That works out to be 4 days, 13 hours, 6 minutes ago as I write this. Obviously at this point they haven't really surfaced in search results but I believe that will change or they plan on it changing in the future. They used a privacy registering service to obscure their information so I can't tell you much more on that. I can say hosting costs 8USD a month with SSL. Economical.
Here is the interesting part. They have been online 4 days and 13 hours. In that time, according to their FAQ, they have over 2500 satisfied clients with over 8000 products sold, and you can check their customer reviews on each product they say. They have been extremely busy apparently selling items and getting satisfied customers in just a few short days. Even more interesting, is they haven't had the time to build those reviews because they aren't there to be found yet in those large numbers. I think they will build them out though, and wanted to get this out there before they polish the site more.
Disconcerting is their stated plan to add an app in the Apple Store, Google Play, and Windows Store. Of course those are "Coming Soon" apparently and it makes a more sophisticated looking site.
Only Bitcoin is accepted as a payment method.
Everything is free shipping from China and it is via "We ship via DHL, FeDex and UPS"
Of the few reviews here are some nuggets after 4 days 13 hours of site operation.

Of course everything is in stock (not true everywhere else in the world as I write this) and the prices are fantastic.
Antminer S9 14TH/s - $1849.99
Antminer L3+ 504MH/s - $2649.99
Antminer D3 - $3149.99
I write this now because they aren't "fully launched" and I don't want someone to fall prey months down the road, when this could be caught early.
