I'm not sure if you're allowed to post links or not but there's some users who are selling their bitmain accounts on ebay whom already have placed an order with bitmain (you get access to their account and change the shipping address).

Does anyone know if this is against bitmain terms of service? It would be a 100K+ transaction so I want to make sure I don't get screwed in the process.

here's an example:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bitmain-Account-w-40-Antminer-L3-504-MH-s-Litecoin-LTC-Miners-PAID-IN-FULL-/282593716634?hash=item41cbe5e99a%3Ag%3A9bwAAOSwNJ5Zf3ML

Yeah this practice has been going on for a while now, in past it was only like 1 month out or ships in 2 weeks blah blah, since the industry seems to have gone to a 3+ month pre-order standard the resellers are left with paying up front and trying to get people to buy the same pre-order at an increased premium ahead of time.

Each individual sellers reputation/trust should be taken into consideration any time you try to purchase someones "pre-order"

In the case of this one, someone was trying to get a bunch of attention by listing 40+

Listing has been ended so I'm sure they got the wrong kind of attention.
