Title: [WTB] Couple of 7950 /7970 cards
Post by: Boxman90 on April 25, 2013, 09:57:15 AM
Hi there,

Located in the Netherlands (Europa), I'm looking for a couple of these computing monsters.

I prefer to pay in FC, or else LTC.

I have one 7970 here. slot blend has been taken off to enhance airflow, original packaging available, has been purchased end of january 2012, so there's a sharp year of legal defects liability left. Card has been treated good, as in not modified, only overclocked within the ATI driver range(no volting crap), and has been operated in a climated facility, to ensure that it never went above 70 celsius.

The card is a reference design from Club3D, Location is in germany.

what would you offer on that?

Sounds good, is it voltage unlocked possibly? Or if you don't know, can you post me as many details on the card version, so I can try to look that up? //edit looks like reference designs are always unlocked. I'll do some little research, then make you an offer. Would you accept FC?

thats a little cheap, dont you think? the 7970 averages on ebay around 400 dollars. I'd be willing to let go off it for about 300 eur including shipping

Maybe a little but that's the negotiating headroom. I can find them in NL for 330 and in DE for 320, and that is new. I took 60% of newprice as it's over a year old, did conversion to USD and then converted to LTC. That led me to 62.4LTC.

Also 300 eur is incredibly steep as that's basically its price new.

Also i don't care about ebay because thats mainly USA and prices are different there.

bitcoin graphics cards don't age like you think they do, this isn't the car market, 5970s that have been used since bitcoin started can still be resold for close to cost.
I have 2 7950s but I sure as hell wouldn't sell them for less than 300 each when I decide to eventually sell them.

Lol 7950's are 250 brand spanky new.

Alright I'll just buy them new then.

If anyone wants to sell some for a normal second hand price (75% of retail value tops), I'm still ears.
