I'm in the process of slowly replacing all my 5000 series cards with 7970's and am looking to replace them with pure reference cards. I have had great luck with them. I don't want any non-reference as out of the 4 I have, 2 have died and the other 2 don't even clock that well while undervolting at 1.05v, approximately 100-150MHz slower. Most of these reference cards are also old though and likely abused, so my offer stands at $335 shipped per card. Brand matters little (MSI, Sapphire, Asus, Gigabyte, whatever), though having the original reference style heatsink and fan is highly prefered. I know for a fact that the triple fan Gigabytes are NOT reference. They don't have voltage control either, which is a MUST.
You can know your card is a pure reference and not a knockoff by having "109-C38637-00" down by the PCI-E connector as well as having the AMD logo above it, but this is usually mostly covered by the heatsink.
If I don't have reason to trust you (account age too new, no trades, etc), I will require escrow or payment after receiving item depending on payment method, especially if there are no pictures.
Payable in paypal, dwolla (takes 2-3 days to load money on here as I don't currently have money in it), chase quickpay if you hold a chase account, amex serve, and moneypak. I can also reluctantly pay with bitcoins if it is absolutely necessary.

Questions
a) What age of cards are you looking at? New, 6mo, 1yr+, etc. Is your price same or do you scale with age?
b) How much shipping will you pay?
