Philip has a good strategy there with financing but I would not use this method unless you know you can pay it off in time or your ROI will increase quite a bit as I recall PayPal APR is pretty substantial. Our client service is interesting if people want to build up to new gear, not sure how that would look with financing behind the script styled service with bigger purchases. Doesn't paypal offer 12 mo as well?
What's the pricing on the s9's, not everything we can get is listed since you could order a TV from us and what not. Bitmain was still shipping us s9j's long after they dropped them form the English site. Just takes longer to confirm orders since it's all done through email.

I highly recommend go for escrow. It's safe and quick.
i deleted your post as I have already answered this.
I would only use PayPal as I have 6 months to pay it off with 0 % interest .
Part of my expansion is to use my pay pal credit line and not use crypto coins.
I want to pay in paypal as I get 6 months to pay via paypal.
he has agreed to bill my paypal. I will be getting 18 s9's with 18 apw3++
So far looks good I am waiting on the shipping quote.

Phil! buy my S9's lol
Sorry forgot to address that to artemis. It did sound like you had found a way to start a deal with them. Nice you were able to get the balk rolling with them, are yku doing a local pickup?
If your worried why not use an escrow for your deal. They posted a WTS thread on the forum so treat them like any other seller.
Apart from that if they force you to go offsite to buy, don't pay in crypto.

At the moment I have no idea if he is any good
But I am looking to get some used gear from him with a paypal purchase.

Since you mentioned kaboomracks, can you tell me how to do business with them? Where exactly IS the Kaboomracks store? All i could find was a Linkedin profile, and the Telegram group. Are you supposed to PM the Kaboomracks Store user on Telegram or Linkedin?
Agreed. I see kaboomracks selling a lot of hardware potentially, but the only thing you find is a linked in profile
https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertvankirk/
and their telegram channel
http://www.t.me/kaboomracks
The only user with a review on their profile
Norm MacDonald
has four scam accusation trusts on their profile
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=2403358
can anyone clear the air on kaboomracks?
I am interested in their listing of antminer s9 rigs but I want to know they are legit first.

Correct the 26th a handful of coupons go live. I believe the $340 is part of those.
in the past coupons have always worked as long as their value was 50% or less than the cost of the miner, right? so a $340 coupon should work on any miner over $680 in my opinion, but the site does say that but is it also possible that it has not been updated to allow for the $340 coupons as they are not active until the 26th?
Looks like the t15 will not use my 340.
Hope you don't mind me bringing this over here.
I'd say you've deployed a pretty good strategy overall. Good mix of gear, couple different coin streams, and I believe you use a few pools to balance variance. I'm going to assume all parties involved have been happy with your deployment to date or you wouldn't be growing so fast in this market. Do you have any one off gambles going anymore? If I remember you used to throw at Johnny's, and another that had the block finder rewards from time to time.
Just a heads up with those coupons are you sure you can go higher than 300$ for the T15, checking the "coupons" tab on the Bitmain product page for the T15 it says 300$ or less. I'm pretty torn on what to grab myself at least I have a few days to ponder it over, and here I thought I was done buying gear for a while.
What really hurts me is now I have to think for four people with 575 of my 617 th.
Vs two people with 120 th forces me to be very conservative With the big chunk 575 th.

oh i know $300 is a stretch but I can dream 
either way cannot use the coupons until the 26th so who knows what will happen to btc and/or the market by then.

I would throttle about 1 every third business day (Sunday-Friday in the US to match UTC +8) but only if units are readily available no pre-ordering. Might have my timezone off but hopefully people can figure that out. Essentially this process is the main portion of our work since last Aug/Sept at least more units are under de minimis now. Still be careful about expecting leniency with coupons for discounts.
Pricing is always complex.
A lot depends on your power cap and on power efficiency.
Until today the m10 was the best unit in the USA
Now a t15 with a 340 coupon is a better deal .
but the 340 coupons are wait til the 26th
by the 26th maybe the m10 drops to 500
Also if the s15 at 1020-340 = 680 + 100 to ship is invoiced at 680 + 100 = 780 no tax
if it is invoiced at 1020-340 = 680 + 100 shipping = 780 plus tax of 27.6% on the 1020 price that is a tax of 281 so 780 + 281 = 1061
so as of today for a USA guy
the s15 is 1061 or 780 if you order one
the t15 is 470 if you order one
and it is not exactly correct since you can not order until feb 26th.
also the order 1 per day to save the tax while true can end up being wrong if they jam up in customs and you feb 26 feb 27 feb 28 ordered hit the usa on march 1 usa can say you ordered 3 in 1 day we tax your ass.
So when I do order:
I will order 1 sent to my home
buysolar will order 1 sent to his home
we will then order again when they arrive at our homes
I will order 1 T15
buysolar will order 1 S15
if that s15 is written correctly to legally avoid the trump tax
we can order 1 S15 each for the next order.
a PITA but we would legally avoid about 800-1000 in tax this way

yep now i just wish I could find someone to buy my s9's for $300 each lol
Might need to wait for BTC to pump a little higher. I think average for used s9's is about $150/unit now. Maybe I'm mistaken though. Upstream might take them but I don't know of any projects their working on right now.
Not sure what the efficiency setting looks like on the m10 but the t15 in LPM delivers over m10 in stock.
