A brand new 6870 on newegg is $185 with a $20 MIR and 2 free games
Or $175 if you dont want to deal with rebate hassle.
You're asking beyond NEW prices on nearly all of that hardware.
I'm on oahu myself and sold a 6870 locally in 4 hours with craigslist for $170. Youre going to sit on that card for months easily over $30? Your choice I suppose.
You say who knows what will happen to bitcoin after the next jump? Mining for profit will die, you're not even offering to ship item immediately because you KNOW this is the last 2 days of reasonable mining. Even if BTC tripled in price overnight tomorrow I still wouldn't mine because it STILL wouldn't be as profitable as it was ~ 20 days ago. I started mining at 430k diff and $28 a coin. . . who the fuck will pay a premium for mining cards at $15 a coin and 1.4m diff?
Your arrogance and ignorance is just adding to the reasons I hate this god-forsaken state. . . Can't wait to get out of hawaii!
You are a scrub. The MIR are limited to 1 quantity. So I could possibly have gotten a single 6870 for 185. But guess what, I haven't gotten the rebates yet. So, 199$ is what I paid and what I'm offered. You are welcome to single out the 6870 as being a bit high, I expected as much as it's a gaming card and less a mining card.
Where did I ever say I would sit on the card? I'm going to EBAY them if I don't get any offers here. You are complaining about mining not being profitable when you pay .26cents a kilowatt. It's STILL profitable after the next increase for me. That means people that pay .05-08 have a LONG WAY TO GO.
Your stupidity makes me laugh, get the fuck off Hawaii if you hate it so much. I'm more then willing to adjust my prices but pissing me off doesn't help. I'd sooner sell it on ebay, take a loss, and pay the fees then deal with your disrespect.
Hell, we have no idea where bitcoins is going to end up after mt. gox comes up and I'm offering an escape for those that want it. And fairly reasonable prices. Maybe the 6870 is overpriced, but that seems to be the only one and you are whining about it.
