Economy / Computer hardware / Re: WTB: Pair of LGA1366 Xeon 5600 Series CPUs

I actually thought about going LGA2011, but really, all my rig needs is a pair of 6-core Westmeres @ 24 threads....and she's good for another 6 months. ( I'm actually VERY cheap....LMAO....and have a wife with a shoe collection of 500+ pairs) Current:- SuperMicro X8DTi-F - 2x Xeon x5550 (essentially the same as Dual I7 920's, better Turbo Freq/Cache/Power Consumption) - 24GB ECC REG DDR3 Samsung - 3x Intel X25-V 40GB SSD (RAID 0 Boot/Program Volume) - 2x 150GB WD VelociRaptors (RAID 0 Working/Temp Volume) - Nvidia Quadro FX3700 PCIe 512MB - SoundBlaster Xfi PCIe - LG BluRay/HDDVD/DVD/RW Multi-Drive ....I just wish I had a few extra CPU threads for multi-tasking. I am going to wait until 2013 for a socket change.

Thanks to all who replied and made offers.
I ended up lucking out and finding a 'back channel' into NCIX.com and was able to purchase at volume discount with direct (free) shipping to me directly.
Also, thanks to Jeremy @ Spendbitcoins.com for making this possible.
Cheers, bitlane.

I just sent 1650 BTC to Jeremy @ Spendbitcoins.com This will allow me to use NewEgg.ca and Paypal, so I can just get everything shipped directly to me.
If anything happens, I will let you guys know, but for now, it seems to be moving along.

Keep in touch with me.
I will be replacing 20 cards over the next couple weeks.
10x 5830's 2x 5850's 4x 6950's 2x 6870's 2x 5770's
I will be selling for BTC and if I can get rid of the entire collection at once, that would be a bonus. bitlane.

Looks like both newegg.ca, and Tigerdirect.ca won't let me use my normal payment method for some reason, so I'm limited to newegg.com.
If you want to, you can find me on the Freenode irc server on #bitcoin-otc, skype, email, or whatever.
If this deal ends up being something that we can accomplish without too much hassle on your end, would you be willing to use an Escrow service due to the amount involved ?

Economy / Lending / Re: Dear Trusted Lenders - I am looking for a BTC/USD Intermediary

Intermediary as in escrow or just someone willing to buy BTC by buying you GPUs? Sorry, my bad. Someone willing to pay/ship....that already trusts me....lol (and knows I won't back out of a deal). Trusted Lenders in this forum (who I have done BIZ with) also negate the need for a 3rd party Escrow Service

Shipping is telling me roughly $250 for Express MailŪ International ( usually higher than the actual cost, but a good ballpark max). I wouldn't have the actual price until I know how many boxes and the exact weight. And then newegg's total of $7,199.85, so you're looking at $7449.85+ whatever fee you'd would deem appropriate. (such as including the Game coupons in my fee?) I also wasn't expecting $20/card I would be willing to let whomever the 'intermediary' turns out to be to 'CheeryPick' the contents of each box for all 'Freebies'..... ( or even ship them all game codes etc on my dime....once received, as I am not a 'gamer')... The Freebies would be a 'thanks' and have nothing to do with a 'Fee'. I expect to pay for service.As long as I end up with Cards/Cables/Adapters.....that's all I care about.

I just updated the OP.
To be fair, I don't expect someone to do this for $20/card in BTC profit....LOL (I lowballed without 'doing the math'....hehe)
So, it's now ~1500+ BTC for 15x 7970's.
I would like this 15 Card Deal to be an 'Opportunity' worth someone's time......(and REPEAT Transaction if possible/interested, as I need 20+ cards in the end).

PM sent, Not sure how you feel about proxy buying, but eh, worth a shot. It's definitely worth a shot if everything works out Which cards were you considering ? (unfortunately I should have been a bit more specific in my request, as I would prefer REFERENCE Design, or a Non-PowerColor Dual fan....lol)
