Title: If I bought a bunch of 5830's. any interest? Post by: Jdumond on June 11, 2011, 12:52:01 AM Folks-
I have found, and seen with my eyes, 5-6 5830 g cards at a local store. If i purchased them all I am just trying to gauge interest in attempts to possibly re-sell, help out beginner miners, and Since this is the USA (where I am) make a little $$$$. any interest PM or post.

I may be interested in one.

First of all Mail in rebates are involved. Freaking gross. 199 cost 50 dollar mail in rebate. ~150 I know its a raw deal for that card, but without chasing rainbows too much seems like a still reasonable price. and they get about 300M/h MIR per household: unlimited probably around 175? What do you two think un reasonable? let me know. Title: Re: If I bought a bunch of 5830's. any interest? Post by: CentroniX on June 11, 2011, 01:35:26 AM PM sent.

Their mailin rebate is limited to one GPU/household Title: Re: If I bought a bunch of 5830's. any interest? Post by: snoopytime on June 11, 2011, 01:43:29 AM my guess too, i cleaned out the Tustin one 3 days ago of 4 units, just needed 4 addresses to mail them too is actually the specifics. Me house, my office, my partner house, his parents house = 4. see what you can work out yourself.

Post by: Skunkworks on June 11, 2011, 03:39:42 AM Also here's a protip: microcenter will do pricematching with newegg without manager approval, and any site with manager approval. Also I've talked to around three different employees at my local microcenter who are all miners using employee discounts to get hardware cheap.
Newegg is currently out of stock of this card, but had it for $160. I plan to head in tomorrow and show them google's cache of newegg's page for this card and see if they'll match. Title: Re: If I bought a bunch of 5830's. any interest? Post by: airdata on June 11, 2011, 05:54:19 AM I think the biggest attraction to the 5830 was the $109.99 newegg price. Amazing compared to nearly $200 for cards like 6870's with equal or lesser hashing power.
