[WTS] 7970 Sapphire Vapor-X for BTC/LTC

[OgNasty]

I have a Sapphire 7970 with noisy ball bearings that sound like they are failing.  The fan still spins and it mines without issues, but it is annoyingly loud.  I'm currently mining LTC with it, so I am not looking to give it away, but I would take the right price to get the noise out of my house.  If you have an aftermarket 7970 cooler, a spare stock 7970 cooler, or you don't care about noisy ball bearings, this might be a good opportunity for you.

Will consider offers in BTC/LTC or NastyFans.org seats.



THIS ORIGINAL ITEM WAS SOLD.  I HAVE ANOTHER FOR SALE WITH BALL BEARINGS THAT ARE NOT NOISY, BUT IT HAS SEIZED UP IN THE PAST.  A LITTLE CANNED AIR GOT IT RUNNING AS GOOD AS NEW.

What's your price?

I'll offer 0.18 shipped.

Try oiling or if you don't have any oil, WD-40-ing the bearings. It will likely save the fan, it did with my 5770.

I'm sure you're right.  I just don't need this operating.  I have other 7970s.  I'd RMA it if I had the time to waste.

I can't accept 0.18 BTC.

EDIT: Highest offer at the moment is 0.26 0.27 BTC.  I would accept 0.29 BTC.

I have 1 more of these for sale.  The ball bearings on it actually aren't bad.  It has currently been running flawlessly for several weeks without making a sound.  However, in the past it did freeze up on a couple occasions.  Whenever it has frozen up in the past, a little canned air gets it running normal again.  Just want to be totally open about it.

If someone would like this beauty, feel free to make an offer.

You still want btc/ltc?

Yup.

I can offer .25

No can do.  I got 0.29 for the last one and it had some issues as well as the BTC price being higher then...  Appreciate the offer though.  When the weather changes and it isn't keeping me warm, I will be more likely to accept a lowball.

Ah, but the lifetime expected return has dropped considerably.

I feel you.  The price of the device hasn't though.  For example, here is a current eBay auction for the same card:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/SAPPHIRE-Vapor-X-AMD-Radeon-HD-7970-GHz-Edition-6GB-/221364972637?pt=PCC_Video_TV_Cards&hash=item338a616c5d

It is going for $455 with more than 12 hours to go.  I don't expect to get eBay pricing, but I'd like to get within 15% or so.  In any event, 0.25 BTC is WAY too low.

I can't justify spending that much when I can't make it back. I impulsively bought a 290X, when the price was $600, and then watched the price jump $100 over the next few days. I've almost ROI'd that card, but the 7970 would be more of a pain. I already have an XFX 7970, so I kinda wanted to make it symmetrical.

No worries.  As you can see from the eBay auction ending at over $500, these cards are heavily in demand.  If anyone would like a discount to the going rate on eBay, along with paying in BTC, the offer is here.  I'll accept $450 in BTC.

Ebay prices are allways outrageous... Sell it on ebay if you want that much. Just don't come crying when someone bricks it or scams you and then wants a refund which you are obligated to give them due to the 45 day no questions asked warranty you give on every item you sell.

Where did you get that? Any sources?

Err that's standard eBay rules.. Paypal can give them their money back within 45 days.

Yeah... just sold shit on there for long enough and there is a reason I do so very infrequently now. Main thing that killed me was a guy bought a FPGA a year ago from me. Couldn't get it to work. I setup team viewer with him and went out of my way to help him... Told him that the jumpers might need to be switched on the device and he sent it back to me.

Of course he wanted express shipping upfront so I had to refund that. Know what happened when I got it back? Jumpers needed flipped.

Sorry, don't mean to crap on your thread.
