I am selling two Radeon 5870s because I managed to buy 2 5970s to replace them.

My craigslist ad is here.  I would prefer a local sale but I am willing to ship.

I have the original boxes they came in.


Will accept BTC for the cards at the higher of current spot price for dollars or 7 day moving average of BTC per $.

Example.  7 day moving average is $13 and current spot price is $12.  I will accept BTC for the cards at $12 per BTC.

Cash in person is preferred.

You are seriously smoking crack.  They sell for ~ 200 each used.  Maybe 220 (shipped) if they push a solid hashrate OCd.

The 5870 is a good card and all, but it's not worth THREE 5830's!  It's not even worth two.

You could have (2) 5830's from NewEgg *today* for $260, shipped. That's a hashrate of 550-600 MH/s.

Your 5870 can only DREAM of getting that kind of hashrate.

Those are Extreme Edition Sapphires. You will easily get 320 MH/card and not go over 85C. I usually hover around 75C with 80 degree indoor temperature.

i have 4x NORMAL reference xfx 5870s that do 400mhs each.

i bought them for 300 each at the PEAK of bitcoins. they're worth max 250 each now. check ebay for prices before you make insane ones lol

Yes, but those are ongoing auction prices. To get a feel for the market, you need to login and look at "Completed Listings". Some of the ones you listed actually already sold:

I bought a used XFX 5870 recently for $250 including shipping (*EDIT* and I'm getting 447 MH/s from it at 1000MHz and it still runs super cool at 82C). 5830's seem to be a good deal, I was looking for more 5850's, but they are completely gone from the market.

well regardless, they still dont go for 375 each.

Would $550 for the pair be reasonable?

I'll accept $550 for them.

More reasonable, sure. You should post pics of them with your forum name, the brand and heatware or other feedback.

That's a fair price as long as you ship the cards after you receive payment, its a very important step to ship the cards after someone has paid you.  ;D

Here's an XFX HD 5870 for $250:

It's sold (to me) :D

Also, Newegg is out of 5830's... So options are dying down out there.

datathe: if you're selling two cards, there should be some advantage for buying them together. So the price should be *less* than buying the two cards separately. $550 is borderline, but you can try. Hardforum is a good place to sell, but you may need some seller reputation first (ebay, heatware).

I'm happy to do a local drop off in Vancouver in person.  Also I can ship and I have an ebay profile with the same username with positive ratings. 

If you're not in Vancouver and would like to buy I can put them on Ebay.  If you're in Vancouver, just email me.
