https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=426359.0


About to start new mining rig, but greedy as f*ck in terms of hardware? I may have solution for You! Atm I have access to 39x SAPPHIRE R9 280X TOXIC OC 3GB DDR5 384-bit cards.

With those beasts You should be able to squeze 750+ Kh/s without any issues.

4 of them I want to buy for myself, but for other I do not have plans since it would be my 2nd rig already. If someone is interested I will be able to get those shiny card/cards for him. Which means there are 35 TOXIC's to get.


Europe + Russia Price (Shipping included):

0.49 BTC per card. or 316000 DOGE

Other locations price (Shipping included):

0.52 BTC per card. or 335500 DOGE



Europe + Russia escrow Price (Shipping included, You cover all escrow fees):

0.60 BTC per card. or 387000 DOGE

Other locations escrow price (Shipping included, You cover all escrow fees):

0.62 BTC per card. or 395000 DOGE


Q1. "Why escrow is way more expensive You sick ****?"
A1. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=426359.msg4663229#msg4663229

Each buyer will receive his own payment adress to avoid mess for me and for him. Make a reservation here in this post + send me PM for reservation confirmation. I am available 16/24h

According to ---> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=426359.msg4863406#msg4863406 :

Priority:
1. No escrow up to 5 cards
2. No escrow (no limits)
3. Escrow

Q2. "Why?"
A2. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=426359.msg4863406#msg4863406

In both cases shipping would be via DHL. Can send as a gift(with bigger numbers per user I believe it would be neccessary to send separate packages, so don't panic if U don't get all cards in one package or even day). Ordering only (after all cards are reserved + at least 1 confirm on each payment) OR (4 days after first reservation + payment).   Please allow me 3 additional days to get the cards (need to convert BTC to my local currency). Tracking ID will be send right after I post (Should be minimum 3 days after first reservation+payment, maximum 7 days). Last group buy it was way faster, those dates are pesimistic. Keep in mind I also want to order fast, so it is also in my business to do it smoothly.

Trusted dealer, cards are in STOCK, they are relatively cheap because I get 23% VAT discount on it. ALL cards are BRAND new - sealed!

First 3 cards escrow price is the same as non-escrow. Priority aswell, because I have funds availible to purchase +3 cards from my own pocket.

You may ask - "Do You make profit out of it"? Yes, I am making profit out of it, I still need some to fund part of my 4x cards purchase, and I figured this is the best way to do it.

Price was negotiated already, I don't think I can go lower. Maybe in 10+ purchase I could do 0.01 per card from my own profits..


Feel free to ask any questions regarding me/cards/details/etc.




BONUS! 1 of the cards(I have already choosen a number) will come with free Corsair CS750M PSU! :)

#3 group buy will be about 50x Sapphire 280x Vapor-x, so if You are still unsure about this group buy #3 groupbuy will start in about 2 weeks, when everything will be done with this one.


Sorry for delay, had to be sure that the cards are availible

Reserve those for me please

Does your supplier by any chance have the discontinued 79xx series, preferably the 7990 beasts? I would love to get my hands on few of those with decent pricing. Also I would prefer to get the r9 290's rather than the 280x if you're planning on offering those in future that would be great. The 280x toxic are my 3rd choice so if you're not planning on offering wider range of cards in your future group buys I may as well get in on this now.

Let me know.

To everyone asking why the price jumped:

1. BTC has lower value that it was on the 1st groupbuy, and jumps way more often. Last time BTC was 825USD for like 10 days, now..
2. Price jumped abit because the cards are even harder to get.
3. It was a #1st one, so I minimalized my profits to attract buyers :)

I can apply disount of 0.01 (6500 doge) for every second card You purchase, I really can't drop more.

@fenghush
No 7990, also he has same "contract" on 290, like with me on 280x. Maybe we will see 290 groupbuy? Or is the person buying them just taking all for himself?, I don't know.

To which person are you referring to?
Not sure why people are complaining about the pricing since shipping is included, it's a nice deal.

Count me in for 10 cards, shipping to EU, no escrow.

Please give me address, and the total sum.

okay, reservin 10 for now! :)


Keep in mind that if there will be buyers(35 cards total sold) I would have to limit an order to 5, so they could have a slice too. Think I'll short the auction time to 3 days.


@fenghush
Because #1st buy was slighty cheaper, You can never satisfy a man ;)

Hi,
I'm interested in three cards. Can you pls reserve and offer payment instructions. So ship to Europe 3x0,49

Count me in too for 5 cards, shipping to Ukraine , no escrow.

When is the cut off for payment?
Also do they come with a warranty?

@fenghush
Oh sorry I didn't notice this question. I meant people PM'ing me. Like 3 of them asked the same question

@loader
What do You mean by saying "cut off"? The deadline?

About warranty - Yes, full manufacturer warranty (24 months if I am no mistaken)

Yes I mean deadline, sorry for not making it clear :) and also if it does go faulty and we have to send it back, would we have to send them back to you for you to then change them, or could we do it without going through you again?

Cheers H.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't manufacturer warranty mean that You could go to any authorized Sapphire shop and settle things there? Manufacturer!=seller

If I am wrong, but I don't think so, it would rather be through them, I don't want any additional mess. But You can do it through me if You would ask nicely ; )

About the payment, the sooner the better - remember there are other people waiting for You too pay so I can ship. If it would take 2 days or more (after auction ends) I would be forced to cancel Your order and find someone else. So please don't bid if You would slow us down that much ; )

Hope that answers Your concerns, if You have anything more to ask shout ahead!

Cheers, I will read up, and what is the absolut deadline for payment?

Edit- also just read this on their site 'Sapphire VGA products carry a 2 year warranty with all enquires carried out through your initial place of purchase' Which I think means, the original purchesor will need to do the return to get the replacement, so if it does go faulty I would need to go through you, also knock wood I hope it won't die :D, cheers H. Just need about 2-3 months of it working to ROI.

Oh, sorry forgot about it. Previous post edited.

Glad You found this information, I thought its the way I described.

Well, if its like that then I think I could take this responsibility : ) Of course serious problems only, not "755 Kh/s instead of 765" ; )

Reserve two cards for me please. Also sent you pm!

I'm in for two.  PM sent.

Same here, reservation for 2 pcs. Will PM you...

Awaiting reply from folks who reserved and are dead silent now. If I won't receive reply by tommorow, there should be some more cards available. Buyers: Please do not send with 0 fee, like 2 guys already, it may slow us down.. Also, if anyone knows confirmation time for 0 fee then please let me know! I expect to ship by monday so I hope it will be confirmed tommorow, or the day after...

I was one of those idiots...sorry.  It just started to confirm (3/6) so it should be OK by tomorrow.

its okay :)

was afraid it would take like 5 days, but 3/6 is awesome :)

Good morning everyone! Last 24 hours till I close the auction, I have not received a response from one gentleman since 2 days, so I guess his reservation is canceled. Remember, even by buying one card You have a chance to receive a Corsair 750W PSU :)



Profits calculator for anyone concerned about ROI (calculated for 4 cards):
http://www.coinwarz.com/cryptocurrency/?sha256HashRate=1000.00&sha256Power=500.00&sha256PowerCost=0.1000&scryptHashRate=3100.00&scryptPower=1300.00&scryptPowerCost=0.1000&sha256Check=false&scryptCheck=true&e=Coinbase

You would get Your 2 BTC for 4 cards back already after 50 days, which is way better compared to BTC SHA mining :)

Cheers!

Hi, reserve 3 cards for me please. I will send payment immediately after receiving PM with address.

Thanks!

Done! Atm there are 8 cards left.

Hi, reserve for me 1 card. I am in EU no Escrow.

Awaiting PM for the payment address.

reservation of 1 pc for me.

PM me pls.

reservation of 4 for me. Location Poland.

Waiting for PM.

reservation: I want 2 please to rest of world, tnx

pm pse

PM send,I'm sorry I let you down (

Confirming I am on the list for 4 cards and the order is paid.

paid!

What will you declare them as on the declaration for customs? as I am in the UK and would have to pay 20% so it won't be worth while if I do.

I thought it is a common knowledge that there are no customs within European Union :O

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union_Customs_Union


Our countries are in european union. Which means no customs mate : ) Only when entering the union (from a non-EU to EU)

for rest I split packages and send as a gift so if You don't buy much over the world You are safe to go without any taxes ; )

i want one. please pm me. im in USA

Ok, cheers for clearing that up, just got to quickly get money together XD really want a few, will you be doing toxics again one day?

Vapor-x for sure in about 8 days. Toxics - nope, at least not till mid-Q2

Cheers!

Hello
I want to reserve 3 cards with shipment to Belgium

Thanks for this groupbuy

is still possible to have 1 card? l need it. plz PM

@up send : )

Quick update on status:

Uff, kinda painfull to respond to all, and settle this up, but it should be worth it :)
Auction ends now, still 11 cards left for priority = 1 or 2, or 3 cards left for priority 3(escrow)

I will rather not take any orders now, because I don't want to keep the buyers waiting (unless You can finish Your payment in about 24h, since on saturday-sunday I want to convert btc)
Think I will include those toxic's which are left in #3 280x Vapor-x groupbuy, which should start in about 8-9 days.

In first post there are reservations listed, and bold means that transaction was confirmed.

Any more questions just ask, goodnight for now! :)

PS. Estimated shipping time is monday.

i think i am gonna cancel my reserve
cuz my country will want tax around $500-600 than it will cost me than a higher price than in my country
sorry wish had to be able to buy  :-[

Hi, if you do include 3 TOXICs in the next group buy can I reserve them now (all 3)? or would I need to wait til the group buy?

no worries mate, if You paid already (think not, Ill check tommorow) send me an address to which U want Your btc back. Typing from my phone so I cannot check list. Btw where are You from? we may work something out. 50-60 per card isn't that much, but still can be avoided : ) (10 cards is hard to snatch tho ^^)

Goodnight again! : )

@loader140
sure mate : ) If You want more and You are sure about taking them I can cancel those from priority=3 (escrow), and reserve them, since I hate taking loans : /

Hi, I will want 3 but I don't know when I can get the money (should be within the month) as I am a bit broke at the moment so selling stuff to get the money XD cheers

I just sent my payment of 1.0302 to the address in your pm, please check and process order asap for the two r9 280x cards thank you :)

Hey there! Can I reserve 4 280x's for shipping to the US?

Checked!

Few people left now, waiting for them : )

Hello,

Do you still have one of those. I have sweezed 4 cards on one rig and on the second one I have one spot left for a third card.

If you have one left send me BTC address to send the payment.

interested

Hi, sorry, but I think I would not have time to process additional orders. If You can wait, then please do, #3 groupbuy will start in about 7-8 days.

Cheers!

You don't even know from where mate, You might be like 1000 km from me : )

i know where are you, i have read your first buy. i cannot trust you so i want to met you :) is it okay? it was last time... dont waste those left cards :D
answer my message :)

wish i was able to get some  :'(

Is it still possible to get in? looking to get 3.

No more orders from now(out of the question - don't PM), tommorow meeting with our fancy friend from post #53 who wants to "met" with me to purchase, and converting after it ; )
Estimated shipping monday, as always I will send tracking numbers to the people after I get them. Thank You all for participating!

I will edit this post updating on progress.


Cheers!


EDIT:

This is mrugala wife. My husband asked me to inform you as soon as possible. He is currently in hospital due to his meeting with one of the client... What the client did is robbed his of his wallet and password with 2 other guys. We tried reporting it to police but they said that they don't deal with "Guild Wars or World of Warcraft gold is not withing our reach, please talk with Bitcoin developer". We should get some money from the indemnity.

Please PM us address on which You would like Your refund. There will be 105% refunds of what You send. Please be patient our rig earns 1 BTC a month and my husbands salary is also about 1 BTC per month, and I have some on my wallet - it will take up to 3-4 months to refund to everyone. We will start refunds from people who invested the most. Once again we are sorry. I closed the thread because I don't want to read bad things about my man. This is a tragedy for us all, but I think that hits us the most, please understand...

I hope your bringing backup.
