I will have 3 of those (completely new and unopened) in a few days.  I'd be willing to sell them individually or all together.

Please PM with any offers, I would prefer BTC.

Someone has got to be interested in some new 5830s.

109.99 usd shipped. Art the current difficulty they won't make more than  a coin and a half a week each.

Did you think that link was going to show "Out of stock"?

It shows "Add to Cart" for me right now.

$129.99 plus 7.56 shipping.

That's what you'll get -- if that.

I already made a post days ago -- when you bought them -- that you're not going to make money mining with them, nor can you profitably re-sell them. Not even on eBay.
On eBay they're going for $140 SHIPPED.

Good luck man. You don't take my advice, that's what you get. I hope you were planning on mining with them yourself.
Even then, you're looking at 79 days to payoff.

There's a reason I didn't buy any -- it's certainly not lack of funds.

5830's aren't bringing in what they used to on eBay:

So trying to turn my USD into BTC is a dick move?  Doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me... not like I was marking them up a ton.

That's $20 less than I paid for them.

it's what i paid for mine from newegg(with free shipping) and i have a warranty i won't have that from yours since i'm not the one that purchased it. so why should we buy yours instead of the ones from newegg?

+1. @op, your not going to sell them if you can get them cheaper + warranty from other places.

Even if you offered $129.99 + 4.99 shipping (yes, NewEgg dropped the shipping by $2.50 in the last 24 hours for some reason...)

it would be better to get it from NewEgg -- frankly, they're more trustworthy than you. Nothing personal -- but why risk buying from a private individual where you *could* (underline COULD) get scammed -- when for the SAME PRICE you could buy with confidence from a large online retailer?

actually sounds about fair. You are just thinking with a bitcoin mindset from a month ago. Anything else brand new in the box is going to sell a tiny bit less than new from the store from a private individual.


Personally I'd probably try to get him to buy it for $120, if not I'd take the hit and get rid of them while I still could. You already have a ton of competition right now, with used cards flooding the market, it's just going to get worse.

Good luck and sorry you bought them thinking they would run out.

If I can't sell, I'm going to use them to mine.... so not a huge deal to me.

ahh cool, glad you arent  hurt by this.  The difficulty looks like it might have plateaued for a while. And hey if the price of bitcoins go up, you might have a sellers market again.

Good luck,

Yeah like bidding on items with no intent to buy or even funds to use.
