Bitcoin Forum

I recently received a Diamond AMD Radeon HD 7970 I ordered several weeks ago.  I have it hashing away in one of my rigs while I find a buyer, but would be willing to sell it for BTC or trade for an FPGA miner.  I am looking to get around $540 in BTC (feel free to make an offer).  I have the box, receipt & all materials.  Shipping from US.

120BTC x 5.4 = $648.
You can get a NEW card for that or lower.
PM me if you decide to lower your price.

Offering $500 + ship

Will give you 520 shipped. 

these are horrible, unless you're buying them for gaming.

the depreciation on them is obscene.

i know some of the people here just don't even care about the profitability (or lack thereof) that their 20ghash farms or w/e are putting out.  

but right now you should be looking at 5870's and 5830's, and watching closely as the 5970's continue to fall in price

i sold my used 5830's for more than i payed for them new.  5870's are down to $170'ish now and you can sell 5830's for over $100 on ebay.

Nice thread crapping zvs  ::)

haha... so what?  have fun with the depreciation in value.     only one looking to buy this should be someone that is going to use it for gaming, possibly wasting it for bitcoins when they arent otherwise engaged

ed:

i think it's safe to say that most people don't understand the economics at work here, or are wealthy enough that they just choose to ignore them.   buying a 7970 to mine bitcoins would be bordering on the foolish *even if your electricity costs are 0c*.  the only valid play would be speculative, but then you'd be better off just buying the bitcoins off mtgox.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion but putting that in someone's FS thread is done in really poor taste.  >:(
