I have an opportunity to diversity my investments, but the startup cash has to come from somewhere. So I decided to sell 4 of my most valuable GPUs, 2 EVGA 1080s and 2 Gigabyte 1080s. My mining farm will be left with 11 1060s running, which are 9 EVGAs, 1 Gigabyte, and 1 Zotac.
These are here in the continental USA, unlike so many other sellers here. I was thinking of putting them on ebay, but ebay does not deserve 10% of the sale price for their bullshit "fees".
I was thinking of $750 each, $3000 for all 4.
These GPUs have been cranking out Nicehash hashes for me for about 5 weeks. I had them set up in my basement, where the cold winter helped give me free cooling. Even though I have MSI Afterburner set to temp limit them at 70, they don't even get that warm. I never BIOS modded or tried overclocking them, I figured whatever minor gain I got wasn't worth the hassle.
I'm willing to use PayPal or some sort of escrow here. I've never escrowed before, though, so I need details on who can be trusted here for that.
PM me with questions or write them here.
Exact GPUs are:
EVGA 1080 8GB FTW2 w/ icx technology
EVGA 1080 8GB Superclocked
Gigabyte 1080 8GB single fan (2)

That’s a bit expensive. With gpu prices dropping 1080ti’s that are used are going for the same price.

For sure. Can get brand new 1080's for 680 on Amazon right now, why pay 750 for used? That’s a bit expensive. With gpu prices dropping 1080ti’s that are used are going for the same price.

The reason for paying 750 is simple. I get more money that way!  Make me an offer then, for 1 to 4 GPUs. EDIT -- yeah, you're right, prices are down a bit, I saw some on ebay. Let's say 650 each for mine then. |

Ha. It's not a bad reason for you  Prices are down across the board with the crypto prices down as much as they are. Good luck on them though. The reason for paying 750 is simple.

That's crazy. You should just sell them on eBay. Can go buy a new one on Amazon for cheaper than 781. 3 left, one got sold on ebay for $781 last night.

Problem with ebay is they take 10% for fees, so even if it sells for 781 I'm only getting 703 or so. I'd rather sell it for 703 here and deny ebay their fees. Then Paypal takes a chunk. I'd also be happy to accept bitcoin for the GPUs, that way ebay and paypal both get no fees, and that alone would make me a little happier! |

Yeah the problem here is no one is going to pay those prices on the forum Problem with ebay is they take 10% for fees, so even if it sells for 781 I'm only getting 703 or so.

Price drop to $630 or BTC equivalent if paying by BTC.
I can also take BTC Cash, Litecoin, or Ethereum to my Coinbase wallet.
3 left!

All right, why the FUCK aren't these things selling? I'm down into the high $500s on ebay, and many 1080s are priced higher! WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?!?!?!?!?! I don't want to sell them for any less than I bought them for, that's not how profits are made.
New? Almost. They've just been broken in good. New.... some mining time.... what's the difference, right?

GPU market crashing as people exit mining. Got a RX 480 yesterday for $200. Why spent 500+ on a 1080 vs getting a 480/580 for < $250? The time to make a profit on video cards is long past. If you want them to sell, you are looking at the $525 range right now based on the last few sales for used ones. All right, why the FUCK aren't these things selling?

Sold the last 3 today, for $510 each, minus ebay fees and minus paypal fees. Not the prices I wanted, but screw it, they weren't moving at higher prices, despite there being quite a few 1080s at prices above mine.
Better to take this now than to take less later.

Yup. Been there before. Better than holding them and getting $300 each for them in a few months. Sold the last 3 today, for $510 each, minus ebay fees and minus paypal fees. Not the prices I wanted, but screw it, they weren't moving at higher prices, despite there being quite a few 1080s at prices above mine.

I noticed a similiar trend and I think the reason why is because the 1080 is bad at ETH. If you had the 1080ti or the 1070 you would probably get closer to MSRP. However due to that memory on the 1080, it makes it poor for ETH. |

That's a very valid point too. Unfortunately my gaming machine has dual 1080's. Great for gaming, crap for mining compared to other cards.
