Bought mine Saturday for a good price, put it up on ebay that same day for $3100, after 4 days of mining it just sold for my asking price. Tons of offers ranging from $900-$1750, a couple of $2300 offers, and someone offered me $2700 that i was going to sit on and make a final decision towards the end but I didnt have to.
If you do go the ebay route, remember ebay is going to take $250(faaaccckkkk!!) unless you're a store, plus paypals 3%. Also I would recommend offering Next Day Air(at buyers expensive of course) because time is everything in this market it seems. I think this was a helping factor in selling mine. It was $180'ish for UPS Next Day Air(ouch!) vs $30'ish for regular.
TLDR: sold mine with a bad core on ebay for $3100 today.
Thanks for all the info. I think ill just hold onto it for a while longer.
no reason to take a hit of its approximate worth right?
