Title: Anyone still interested in GPUS?
Post by: buildbit on March 11, 2014, 02:35:40 AM
I realise GPU mining is approaching the end of its lifespan but I may have found a very cheap supplier that would mean resale value alone would be worth it.

So far I have discussed with the supplier in regards to Sapphire r280x's and Sapphire TRI-X r290x's.

The r280's we are looking at around $278USD each plus shipping (from Malaysia). The r290s $500 each plus shipping.

These prices are definitely much cheaper than what we pay in Australia. Retail is $450 and $800 respectively.

Not sure how much different it is for the rest of the world.

I am trying to arrange escrow with the supplier and direct shipping of the product (I don't want to handle anybody's money but my own)

Payment will need to be in USD directly to the escrow as the supplier does not accept BTC.

I am interested in 20 units for myself (10 of each) but minimum for the prices above is 100

Please let me know if you are interested and how many units you would like so I can try negotiate a better deal.

$278 from Malaysia? I don't know where you are in the world but I would not trust that.

Oh okay, in bulk. It might be interesting if I knew you in person and had the capital but it sounds fishy. How much were they used before being resold?

Good Luck, If it looks like a duck it's a duck.

Yes it does sound pretty cheap. I've ordered 1 r280x from them as a sample using alibaba escrow. They made me pay $349USD for it but it's in escrow and they will deduct the difference from the major order if we proceed.

Time will tell I guess. Just trying to gauge some interested here so I don't waste my time.
