It is a fair price for that card in that state. Saying you could sell it on ebay is like standing in a farmer's market trying to sell some potatos saying you could get a certain price at the supermarket. There's a reason each market exists and expect each to act like the other is a bit misguided. So in short, if you think you can get more on ebay, quit talking about it here and sell it on ebay.

You may have bought many used 5830's on here for 70-75 'over the past 6 months', but that's not a fair price for the card I'm selling. It's an insulting offer, really. The type that someone that's planning on reselling it would make. Give me a break. Oh, and thx for the suggestion, but I prefer to wait another day or two.

Check the forum history, you can find my buys. While you're checking, you'll notice I haven't sold any. I'm a power user of 5830s, I know what they are actually worth. So you might be insulted because someone gave you an offer you don't like, but it is what it is and perhaps you should grow some thicker skin.

Don't pester him on that.
Edit: and yes, I did saw that 'ass antenna' meme you edited ;) Title: Re: WTS Sapphire 5830 (oh, and some newegg links to refurbished 5830's for $108) Post by: zvs on April 01, 2012, 05:09:48 AM I'm agreeing with imsaguy here, I use 5830's for mining, they sell for $70 + shipping in the US. If you want to sell it for more, you can offer to ship it internationally, but that does come with slightly more risks for both you and the buyer (customs, lost mail, + more shipping costs). I'll offer you $80 + shipping to Europe (if its a reasonable shipping price, cheapest trackable method available), payment via PayPal or BTC escrow. The reason you can sell stuff for more on eBay is that eBay offers the buyer protection against scammers, also if the card was to break within 45 days I'd have a much better chance of getting a refund through ebay. That is why buyers will pay more on eBay. Also, just wondering why you think imsaguy's offer is insulting for your card, is your card able to overclock to very high speeds? Interesting then that someone just bought one for $97 @ https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=74810.0 re: your last sentence, did you even read my original post? 5830's don't sell for $70. Bargain hunters or re-sellers look to buy them for $70, yes. Quote So you might be insulted because someone gave you an offer you don't like, but it is what it is and perhaps you should grow some thicker skin. I didn't take it personally, I just said it was insulting.Title: Re: WTS Sapphire 5830 (oh, and some newegg links to refurbished 5830's for $108) Post by: amazingrando on April 01, 2012, 05:21:37 AM thanks for the linkage. Seems like they already sold out of the 5830 xtremes on NewEgg.

The one @ http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102978 is listed as still in stock.... other one is sold out though =p ed: oh, yah, the xtremes are sold out... didn't notice Quote Then who'd I insult if it wasn't you? I guess you just need a better grasp of what the term 'growing a thicker skin' implies.... shrug, not sure what else to tell you.Title: Re: WTS Sapphire 5830 (oh, and some newegg links to refurbished 5830's for $108) Post by: zvs on April 01, 2012, 05:36:42 AM Screw that. This card is worth $250+. WTF. That's not a Sapphire 5830.http://www.aztekcomputers.com/5830PE51G-BEST-DATA-1030987.html Don't let imsaguy con you into giving it away for what "other people pay."
