Title: [WTS] *NEW* Sapphire Radeon 7970
Post by: bels on September 18, 2012, 10:47:15 PM
I think the title says it all.  I am looking to sell a new in the packaging Radeon 7970.  PM for exact pricing but given the current exchange rate the price should be around 36 BTC + shipping.

Title doesn't say it all. Is this a regular, GHz, or GHz Toxic?

You're right it doesn't say it all.

It is a standard.  Specs follow:

 - 3GB of GDDR5 memory
 - Dual slot
 - Core Clock: 950 MHz
 - Memory Clock: 5800 MHz
 - Stream Processors: 2048

If there is anything else you want to know just ask.

So regular?

950MHz sounds like a slight OC to a non-GHz Edition.

Does this have a reference cooler?

This is the overclocked dual fan model.  The model number is 11197-01-40G.

Newegg (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102982) has them for $380 + shipping. You're asking 36BTC, with a MtGox weighted average of 12.16USD/BTC, which puts your price at ~$438 + shipping. Good luck getting more than 30BTC for it.

This is the overclocked dual fan model.  The model number is 11197-01-40G.
Newegg (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102982) has them for $380 + shipping. You're asking 36BTC, with a MtGox weighted average of 12.16USD/BTC, which puts your price at ~$438 + shipping. Good luck getting more than 30BTC for it.

The $380 you quote is after a $20 mail in rebate that expires at the end of this month so the price isn't actually as low as you quote.  Also when I stated 36BTC the exchange rate was at 11.8USD which is why I stated PM for exact pricing so I could give a final fair price at the time someone is ready to buy.  Even with that you'll probably say I am still selling it at a price higher than newegg in which you would be correct I am.  There is two reasons for this, 1. I am not able to get my cards as cheap as newegg does yet so after my markup I am a little higher priced.  2. With the exchange rate constantly fluctuating I built a little bit of cushion into the price as some insurance to me so that I don't actually lose money on the deal.

I hope this explains the pricing and if someone is interested in this card and would like to get exact, up to date pricing, as I stated earlier, PM me.

Thanks.

I have a couple of questions. Are you in the U.S. (whereabouts if you are)? You say the product is brand new. Is the plastic coating still on the face or shroud? (Has it been peeled off?)

I am in the US and the video card is brand new as in I just received it into my inventory (I sell computer parts as part of my business).  It have never been used, not once.

You better escrow that shit, or I'll be back to ROFL at you later.

Didn't sound angry to me, more of a cautionary warning.

Why so defensive?

I'm not.  I didn't have anything else better to say at 4am in the morning.  I just don't appreciate someone seeming like they are trying to call me out on something when they don't know me and have never done business with me.

If he was just trying to suggest caution he should have just said "I suggest that you use escrow to protect the transaction" or something of the sort IMHO.  Adding the "I'll be back to ROFL at you later" seemed to bit unneeded and suggestive that we're fools.

You won't last long around here if you are easily offended. The bitcoin world is just a tad immature at the moment.

I think I'm going to be alright.  I'm noticing exactly what you mean though.

I received the card Tuesday morning but I am just now uploading a pic. I've never posted pictures in this forum before so I had no idea how to re-size it or anything. If anyone could add some insight that would be awesome. The card was in perfect condition and bels sent it UPS as quick as possible with tracking number.

I paid more than what it costs to buy it at Newegg. Three reasons why:

1. It is the exact card I have been wanting to get for my gaming rig I will be building once I receive my ASICs.
2. I needed to finally purchase something on this forum and start building a good trading rep.
3. Brand new with all accessories just like from Newegg, only I can't buy from there with bitcoins.
