I don't see any buy it now's. If it was in the area of $250, I would've jumped on that.

I like the fact that he hasn't even acknowledged my post, or my PM.

I increase my offer to paying with BTC ($120 worth), but still only after I receive it. If you don't accept this from someone with my level of trust, it would lead other people to think you probably aren't the most trustworthy individual to put it lightly. I absolutely refuse to trade in PM (Any PM's I do send will be crossposted in this thread), because I feel this could lead to different people paying for the same piece of equipment.

Edit: Something I'll leave here for other people. He's asking for half payment up front for xbox one he's selling in an auction. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=567145.msg6189852#msg6189852
        I'm already giving him the benefit of the doubt by offering to pay him MORE than what he asked for and using my trust ratings to get some leverage in the situation. We'll see how it goes. He hasn't replied to any of my offers though.

Hi. I'll pay $120, shipped to Rhinelander, WI 54501, USA, but only after I receive it, via my ~10 year old verified paypal account. Check my ratings, and my previous trades threads. I've been here for a long time and am true to my word.

Why is there no cooling on the VRM's?

Lots of people are dumping their AMD cards now. Used R9 280X can be had for as low as $206 + shipping on ebay which, after ebay and paypal take their cut, is about $177. Great deals for gamers, but sucks for the miners getting out of the mining scene due to specialized hardware coming out in the wild and hurting profitability.

Thanks for the vouch man. I kinda doubt the OP will be back though, since the price was fishy. I'll still take it if he comes back, but I don't think he will.

If you feel comfortable enough to trust me, through me a trust rating. I got my first angry scammer neg trust rating on my account today. I feel so proud 

Note that clouds0 is a scammer and do not trade. He is self moderating his threads to prevent people from calling him out.

Also I attempted to buy "his" equipment, he changed it to "pending", edited his post, locked it, and created a new one with exactly the same title, and the same imgur links.

(edit: he changed his thread title, so I have changed this one accordingly)

Hi. I'll pay the $800 for all 4, shipped to Rhinelander, WI 54501, USA, but only after I receive it, via my ~10 year old verified paypal account. Check my ratings, and my previous trades threads. I've been here for a long time and am true to my word.

I -may- be able to scrounge up the BTC required (I actually have enough in my wallet but don't want to deplete it) if BTC is a dealbreaker, but same condition applies. I will only pay after I have received the graphics cards in fully working order.

People were probably naysaying this at the start of the thread because they thought it was fishy. My bet is he has some sort of business/affiliate discount, and is passing the savings to you while getting BTC in return, which can be difficult to get. Then he probably sells the bitcoins on localbitcoins for a massive profit. Shebang.

You need to connect the PCI-E power plugs to the video card in addition to the power plug on the riser PCB (floppy/molex/sata/whatever it is). It is required.

Most of the power will be pulled from the PCI-E power plugs. There are certain parts on the video card that need power from the PCI-E slot though (some 12v, some 3.3v which is taken from the 5v line and down-converted to 3.3v on the riser board). The power draw should not typically pull more than 75 watts; it will likely pull much less is most occasions, or maybe more, depending on what you are doing with your video card. Your best bet is use a multimeter to determine exactly how much power is being pulled through it. But there is no  way 250 watts is being pulled throug hit, because thats what the PCI-E power plugs are for.

Were some of those gpu's ones I sold you way back when?

Fresh registered, and selling some hardware that lots of people probably want.

I'll pay the $300 for all 3, shipped to 54501, USA, but only after I receive it, via paypal. Check my ratings. I've been here for a long time and am true to my word.

I offer $250 for 1x 280X shipped to my paypal verified address in zip code 54501, USA. I do not intend to mine on it. I intend to game on it (OMG, who'd have thought of gaming cards being used to game? WTF?!?!1)

You might think this is a lowball, but everyone knows equipment that has been mined on has their lifespan hugely cut, and are often plagued with fans failing earlier than normal, artifacting/crashes in games (or worse), capacitors more likely to blow up, etc.

It is not a scam. Here is the proof. If you ordered with surface mail (You probably did), they do exist in the wild, and yes they are getting delivered.

$160 shipped.

700 bucks for a used card that was scrypt mined on (higher chance for fail due to 24/7 abuse)? no thanks. i can buy it brand new for less.

your best bet is to take a known ground (doesnt necessarily need to be from that power supply, since its all unknown) and start shorting it to the small pins one by one. once it turns on, you can use a multimeter to figure out the polarity of that fat tabs

Will give a bump for the excellent quality that is the Rosewill Lightning series. I've used these in the past when GPU mining, and it even survived 6 x radeon 7970 GPUs pulling an amazing 1411 watts at the wall without breaking a sweat. The OEM is Superflower (based in China I think?), which if you done your research, is one of the best OEMs out there, rivaling that of seasonic and corsair. It has 8 PCI-E 6+2 plugs, 2x 8 pin CPU power plugs, and a ton of molex and sata.
