I am prepared to pay $320 and will buy singles.  The going rate on ebay is over $450. I sold a bunch of them at $410 and while it started slow, had far more inquiries in the end then boards I had. So yes..... good luck with that. |

Based on your links I wouldn't say $350 is "fair" but it is a reasonable low ball. $300 is just kinda silly. When you add "no singles" to the conditions as if you are doing someone a favor by taking a large number of cards valued at ~$400 (based on your links) at a 33% discount it just becomes silly. Still it is good to see the idiots buying 5970s for $450, $500, $550 have finally run out of money. You buy a 5970 for $550 you just guaranteed you are going to fail as a miner. I need 3 more 5970s for my hashing farm conversion so seeing prices fall below $350 would be nice. Hell everyone should stop buying 5970s (they are hot, noisy, and power hungry) and buy BFL FPGA it is a much better deal (that way prices fall <$300 for me ). If you don't want a FPGA you know you want a 7000 series. I mean 5000 series vs 7000 series? 7000 sounds a better than 5000. One last try: [using force] "These are not the GPUs you are looking for." |

Well, the reason I was saying $350 was a fair offer was because if you sell it for $400 on eBay.... eBay jacks 9% of that, leaving you with $364. $350 offer would be fair for some guy that's done a lot of deals and ppl know isn't going to screw them over. Maybe not for someone making a first time deal, I guess. |

They've been going for $450+ on fleabay. They've actually been coming down from what I have seen. I will admit I'm not stalking them on a daily basis on there, but I do watch. |

They've been going for $450+ on fleabay. could have been before, but not for the last 3 weeks at least. didn't have any reason to check until about a week ago and it seems like the completed auction tab shows about 2 weeks worth of auctions. i guess there may be a few fools on there that payed $450+, but there's a page or more of them under $400... the 'smart' buyer wouldnt have had much trouble picking one up at around $375 in the last 3 weeks (plus you have to figure some people are using those "second chance" sales. like, some 5870 I bid $180 on sold to someone for $200, but I was able to buy one from the same guy for $180) |

Most were $450+ and half a dozen were $500+. I think the top one was a XFX Black Edition for $550. This isn't one or two days either it was for almost a week. No friggin idea what was going on. It has to be noob idiot miners. I mean what gamer would want a used 5970 for $550 when they can get a brand new 7970 for the same price? It looks like the idiots ran out of cash. Hopefully we can see prices head back to $300 ea where they were in December but if BTC prices spike to $7 expect a run on them again as noobs think all you need is a 200% overpriced 5970 and you can make a quadrillion dollars a month. I wonder if some people even use a calculator. Likely the people buying 5970s for $550 have $0.28 electricity and very hot summers. "Bitcoinz is gonna make me rich" [rant mode off] |

More than 600.00USD? Are you kidding me? |

Why did you pay so much bees? You can buy 6990 for $500.

Because, when people in this community either offer used 5970's for $450, or the legitimate cheap deals drop off the map and never communicate with me again, $395 shipped looks mighty fine. And 6990's spew heat out both ends of the card, which makes ducting the heat out of my tiny mining room a daunting task. And for the record, I couldn't tell that these cards had ever been used. They clock high, and stay cool relative to some of the speeds/temps seen on here... |
