Title: Three half-defective 5970s (starting at 30 BTC)
Post by: mrb on June 17, 2012, 04:47:15 AM
(Moving my auction thread from https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=87506.0 to here...)

I am auctioning a set of 3 x HD 5970 which are half defective and out of warranty!

One mines fine for a few hours, then hangs.
One fails to initialize during POST (it is not seen by lspci), other times a reboot fixes it.
One causes kernel hangs as soon as Xorg starts.

Auction started at 30 BTC for the lot (bid by zvs from this thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=87506.msg962802#msg962802).) I pay for shipping, and will ship anywhere in the US.
Auction ends Sunday, June 17, some time in the evening - pacific time.

what are you talking about?  i never offered 50

some admin can even verify that post was never edited

but why lie about that?  so i don't even want to offer 30 now, even though i'd get double that on ebay

zvs: I am pretty sure I read your post saying 50... If I misremember, sorry.

Looks like the cards should go to MrTeal. I will end the auction in a few hours.

When does this need to be paid? I'm going to bid 24, but I can't pay until Tuesday unless I get a loan or can pay in USD.

Payment can wait a few days, I don't mind.

LOL.. I don't know why I do this, the last thing I need is more half working hardware kicking around.
25BTC+half shipping.
Alternately, 22BTC plus I'll pay all of the shipping. I have cash sitting in PPUSD and I hate them having my money but don't want to pay their ridiculous FOREX fees. :)

The more I think about it, zvs was probably right... He never edited his bid. Sorry buddy!
