EDITED:
Link updated for new action of a different, identical spec card.

Shameless bump - At 4.90 BTC plus postage this is still a good deal.

Yet another shameless bump - At 5.75 BTC ( plus postage ) this is still a good deal.

Define "Untracked Shipping" - I'm in the UK if that helps  :D

I post it without tracking. We don't get a website where we can check the current location of the parcel.

It's normal post, not the fancy DHL type services that cost a great deal more.

What I mean is, how would a potential buyer confirm it's been sent?

Oh I see. Bitmit has a flag to say it's sent that I click on when I send it, if course until it turns up there is no way to know that I'm telling the truth.

Bitmit uses escrow for your protection, if you don't get what you have brought then I don't get the bitcoins and you get to trash my perfect feedback.


Of course I could use tracked delivery at your cost but it is pretty expensive.

Card sold and shipped. I've updated the top post with a new auction.

I can't help noticing that I'm selling these cards cheaper than other sellers on this board.

What did it sell for?  I am unwilling to put my bitcoins into bitmit if it is under the gun so to speak.  Have any more for sale?

The last card sold for 7.15 BTC inc postage. That's rather less than I hoped for.

Bitmit isn't for sale anymore, whatever caused them to believe they couldn't legally operate got cleared up. So far I've put 223.27 BTC though bitmit and they have never done me wrong. But if you really don't trust them I can cancel my current auction and sell you that card for the buy it now price of 8BTC + postage. If you do that you don't get bitmit's escrow protection.

I also have two HD5870's with Gelid Icy Vision Rev.2 coolers ( which utterly rock BTW ) that I could sell. 10 BTC each + postage because those coolers rock so much.

Europe. Postage to the US is 2.2 BTC per box. I'm happy to put more than 1 in a box to save postage costs.

What kind of hashrate do the two 5870 that you dont have at auction get?

The two with the Gelid coolers get 429 Mh/s each. That's clocked at 945 Engine and 300 Ram. They run at 59C to 61C depending on room temperature and with the sides off the cases.

I'm sure I could push the engine speed up a little more but they are totally stable with those settings so I left them.

Well that's already pretty darn good.  I will think about this here.  I have a 2 point full disclosure here.  I only have 20 bitcoins total, but I earn about .8/day.  And second I am also considering a 6870x2.

Those Gelid coolers do get a lot more performance out of the cards, plus they are quieter than the stock coolers. The only downside is that they are pretty big so the cards take up 3 PCI slots each instead of the usual 2.

Ok just made contact with bank of Graet and will *probably* be sending payment in full shortly for the two 5870 cards discussed.

Will update as things happen.

*edit* 21 bitcoin sent to Graet, I want to talk about "what ifs" with sd and then ready to give shipping address.

If one card is DOA send it back to me, I get 10.5 BTC, and you get a 10.5 BTC refund.
If both are DOA send them both back to me and you get a 21 BTC refund.

In the above cases you pay the postage to send the cards back to me.

Does that sound reasonable?


These cards will work fine though, they have been working perfectly for me and I'll package them in a sturdy box with multiple layers of bubble wrap and packing peanuts.

If you agree to the above terms please send me your address and I'll ship these babies.

Very reasonable thanks a bunch.  I would love to do business as soon as possible, looking forward to getting the cards, sent you shipping address in a PM so we should be good to go on these.

**edit** Sounds like they will be shipped out in the morning, looking forward to these.

Sorry guys but I had to pull this auction. This card has one seized fan so although it does work I can't really sell it as fully working.

I'll upgrade this thing with a new Gelid Icy Vision Rev2 and relist it afterwards.
