Bitcoin Forum

Hello all,

Following up my plan to take over the world and enslave all of mankind (or is it peoplekind these days?) I need to grab some funds, and as such here's some stuff I'll be selling for bitcoins, open to offers. Stuff is shipped from Europe and I'd rather keep it in Europe. Last time I sent stuff to the other side of the pond it took 3 weeks to arrive as it got stopped at customs, but I'm open to anything so as long as the buyer takes that in consideration.

The stuff:

2x 5970 used, working perfectly, have the BIOS tweaked to allow lowering the mem clock, but stock otherwise. I've been mining at 820/300, pushing 375MHs per core. Asus branded. No warranty other than it is working perfectly for me, I'll accept it back if you receive it and it doesn't work as advertised, but does have a few months of months of continuous mining on it.

EDIT: these were sold to AniceInovation

2x water blocks for 5970s, brand XSPC.

1x water block for 5970, brand EK, with backplate. Beware though that I have lost the spacers and screws that go with this. You may want to contact EK to see if they sell replacements before bidding on this. I will update the post if I find the damn things :)

1x water pump, 12V DC Magicool Deep Quiet Pump Station 700, has some cracks on the bottom but doesn't leak, was working perfect when decommissioned.

1x 9x120mm radiator, Phobya Xtreme Nova 1080, including the two feet to keep it straight.

How much for the 5970's and is that speed with the waterblocks installed? I would be interested in both BUT I am in the states.

I was hoping for offers :)

The speed is with stock cooling, but that doesn't mean the cards can't do more, 820 is just my magic number which has worked really stable across many cards, so I don't even try any other speed.

I've received a few offers by PM. I would rather get them here open to everyone, it is better and safer for everyone.

A few notes for everyones benefit: shipping for the 2 cards to the US will cost 70~80 USD. I'll have to weigh the rest of the stuff to get shipping quotes.

I'm open to sending first for people I trust (only a small set, to be honest). Everyone else will either send first (I'm well trusted, I guess) or I'll accept escrow from another member which is  trusted by both parties. I will *not* do any "I'll send part now, the rest on receipt" kind of deals.

As the PM I sent, do you accept 750$ for both of 5970s? I will pay the shipping fee.

@nelisky
where are You from ?? I`m Eu .pl and You ?
i`m intrested in 5970 with WC and maybe Phobya 1080.
does it work ATM ??

Everything is working fine, the only caveat is the lack of screws on the one waterblock.

I am from pt.

2x5970 - 700$
2xXSPC 5970 RAZOR - 130$
PhoBya 1080+stand - 80$
shiping should take aprox 30E ?

maybe somme kind of discount? :)
P.S.: I`m off, bbl at 11 GMT

You have the best offer so far (someone bid more for the 5970s privately, but I much rather sell as bundle). Shipping is a bit more expensive because the whole think is very heavy. Expect 50~60 eur.

I just realized I might not have made it clear, but I'll only take BTC, obviously. Bids in $ or € are fine though. So your offer is $910 + shipping, totally ~$975. How would you want to do this? Trust me or escrow? Look at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=37805.0 for inspiration if the latter, davout has agreed to do this in the past.

EDIT: I assume you understand you'll need thermal conductive paste and pads to mount the waterblocks.

Not decent, no... just the 5970s ~80 EUR, everything would be ~140 EUR... ouch!

Tracking, yes, but I wouldn't trust the tracking to do much other than state it left my country and eventually you received it, from experience. As for insurance, there's an automatic insurance but the value is really low (~50eur + 5eur per kilo). I can try and find out if there's a separate insurance I can buy.

You can also use any of the shipping companies and request a quote for them picking up at my place and delivering to yours, but my experience it that they always charge more.

Right, just called the post office and it seems it only costs €6 to insure the package... Feels low, but that's good I guess!

Want to make an offer?

Hey, as the PM, do you accept price I suggest? I will pay shipping fee. Payment will be done in BTC. Of course, I am first. Are you OK?

I have got 2 WC rigs. I do relize what i need.
So it`s an auction now?
I can wait...

Got no time right now.
My offer stands so far.

@ummas: no, this is not an auction. This is one an 'open for offers' where I decide who I want to sell to :)

@baby_ghost: Your offer is the best for just the cards, but I do have a very good offer for almost everything on one go which I'd favor. If you do not wish to wait for everyone to place their offers and me deciding, feel free to retract, no harm done. Otherwise, just give me a little more time.

I want only these VGAs, I will wait, please inform me as soon as you can  ;)

@nelisky
i`m glad to hear that. it`s fair what you said.
can you tell just time whan you decide??
i`ll read soon what is in the topic of "safe marketplace" and if you decide my offer we`ll do it your way.
I`m not familiar with dwolla etc. just PP, BTC, and eu wire - safest for us.

I'm looking for BTC. PayPal is totally out of the question, dwolla is US only I believe and EU wire is possible but only if buyer really can't do BTC for some reason.

Let me know if you can go first or prefer escrow, and who we should ask to escrow if the latter. That helps in my decision.

i prefere BTC too
If you`ll explain all the stuff i had replayd on PM.

Options:
- Trust me; you send the BTC, I send the stuff. I've been around for a long time, have done a few deals on the Forum and on #bitcoin-otc. Of course, if you are new around these parts you'll have no reason to trust my word so the other option is
- Use an escrow; I don't trust any of the existing escrow services (this is not to say I have reasons to be suspicious of them, just that I don't have enough trust to use them without second thoughts) so I'd rather ask someone else to serve as middle man here from the forum. See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=37805.0 for some pointers, davout has agreed to do this in the past. This works by you sending the coins to the escrow, the escrow confirms receipt, I send the stuff, you acknowledge good reception and only then escrow releases funds to me. Both of us need to trust the person holding the coins.

#bitcoin-escrow on Freenode. Good well respected members there.

600 euros for 2 x 5970 :)

780 dollars for 2xHD 5970 is my offer.  8)

If you`re accepting my ofer, i think we can invite the middle man into this thread.
I`m new in this, thats why i`ll pick option no. 2  :)
I just need somme time to buy BTC on mtgox. or mine somme - if you will choose my offer.

@malevolent: That is pretty much exactly the same AniceInovation is offering... just saying :) Anyway, where are you located? Which side of the pond? Will you pay shipping on top of that?

@everyone else: I'm deciding between 2 offers now, AniceInovation (2x5970s for ~$780) and ummas (2x5970s+2xWB+RAD for $910).

Does anybody have interest on the rest of the stuff, i.e. all but the cards?

$790 for both 5970s. Do you accept?

This is because I believe I am a more appealing customer. I am from Poland so also from EU like you and it ensures the shipment is safer and there are no customs, etc.
Yes, I am willing to pay for shipment on top of that.

@malevolent
Czesc :)
widze ze wiecej zainteresowanych :)

@nelisky
New offer:
2x5970 - 720$
2xXSPC 5970 RAZOR - 140$
PhoBya 1080+stand - 80$
+ shipping costs to Poland

malevolent and AniceInovation are tied on the race to buy just the GPUs, and baby_ghost is winning by a nose.

ummas has the best bundle offer, and I am favoring his offer. I will be mostly offline till tomorrow, so I'll make a decision then so I can post the stuff on Monday. Feel free to make more offers if you feel so inclined, I will try and respond to them asap, though probably only tomorrow.

Have a nice party ;)

I have just done a deal with nelisky for all the other 5970 s that went to those water blocks let Me Say that everything turned out really well he stayed incontacted with me for the whole month that it took to get my pakage it got held up by customs and he worked with me to get the info on why it was taking so long I would do another deal with him anytime.

640 euros for them, it's my last one :)

@ummas: That obvious, right? Yeah, great party!

@dmcurser: Thanks for the good word, I really appreciate it.

@AniceInovation: Your's is by far the best offer. I'm giving the rest of the folk a little while to make new offers, just to be fair (and because it's good for me :) ).

Everyone else, is there any interest in the other stuff? The water blocks, pump and radiator?

It was... ;)

I`m thinking to take the last block ek brand, if it will be cheap. Dont need backplate  ::)
I`ve got lots of any kind thermalpads - 0.5, 1.0, 1.5.

Cards sold to AniceInovation! I have been paid already and will be shipping them tomorrow. Thank you!

Hmmm, let me try and fine the screws and spacers for it then. I will not be needing the backplate, though, don't think it'll have much of a resell value by itself.

@nelisky
dont need WC with no GPU :/
and explain me, where 640 Euro is more than 720 $??
or, you dont have too.

hey nel just woundering if you might have 2 x clamps hanging around you might want to get rid of

I'm sorry, clamps? Can you share an image or something that can help me understand what it is that you need? Sorry if I'm being dense, but I really don't know what you mean...

Aha, I thought your offer was being made with the knowledge I was probably going to sell the GPUs separately, as I indicated in a previous post.

As for the exchange rates, google says €1 == $1.2922, which means €640 == $827 which is, in fact, 13% more than $720.

I`m stupid, sorry :(

the brackets that hold the heatsink down

1 EUR = 1.2922 USD

640*1.2922 = 827.008 USD

Po tej cenie sie nie oplaca, ostatnio zeszedl na allegro jeden 5970 za 1350zl, ja jestem w trakcie kupowania za 1050zl, trzeba tylko dobrze poszukac (i nie tylko w Internecie najlepiej)

WIem, ale w komplecie mialo byc razniej :)

kumpel kupil ostatnio za 850 ;)
a allegro - rozne jest, raz tak a raz srak - to tez nie jest wyrocznia, jak powiedziales, najlepiej od kogos, co nie zna cen "internetowych".

The X shaped things? I'll have to count the ones I have off the WC'd cards. If I find any left overs I'll send them your way.

The 2 GPUs where shipped to AniceInovation, tracking number provided privately.

So my $790 were out bid  :'(

5970 just arrived, they look good and dusty :)

Will test them this weekend, but i am in peace :)

EDIT: working just fine :)
