For exemple I buy one 5850 at 130€ (13BTC), it will cost me 23€ (2.3 BTC) to send it to korea.

How many bitcoins do you give me for doing it?

Ahn - yung!

Nice to meet you, I see you are an American in Korea, I am a Korean-American living in America!

I'm interested in this opportunity and will report back with what I am able to procure locally.

I am not as fluent as I should be so I was only able to understand the first half with ease, I had to turn to Google Translate to catch the rest, besides the bit about the 5850 of course.

It's nice to meet you and I'm from California as well! :) I'll respond later today with what prices are available around these parts. (It's 2am back in sunny California, time for me to get some sleep, I have work in 6 hours.)

20,000 5850s?

Why don't you source them yourself and have them manufactured? It would be a hell of a lot cheaper. I am sure someone still has the dies.

Something like that seems more logical. I am not trying to bust your balls, but paying $26 + shipping is not economical. If you really have the capital to pull the trigger on a 20,000 card mining farm, do it right.

Is this for real? $30?

That's if you are ordering at capacity, which is 8000 units a week. Who knows about the company though...alibaba is like wholesale ebay. Look around. There are all sorts of companies that could manufacture cards.

Distributing Computing Korea is looking for purchase agents internationally who are willing facilitate the purchase and shipment of graphics cards (namely the ATI Radeon HD 5850 1GB) to South Korea for use in large scale mining farm installations. An estimated 20,000 cards will be purchased before the end of 2013.

Unconfirmed sources indicates that the 5850 is EOL, so once the current supply dry up, you won't be able to get any more unless specially contracted I suppose. Even then, AMD would probably push you to make them from existing 6950 chips or something. But since you can't commit to a single large order, you're not likely to get any new 5850 even by this year end.

Especially since the 7000 series is almost ready, I don't see AMD producing more than 2 generations of GPU at any one time.
