They mine at just about the same speed as a block erupter and you can play games! More than one use and you can mine other cryptocurrencies with it as well. If anyone wants, i'm letting it go for 1.1BTC and shipping is included.

dang hell yeah, i saw radeons being bought so cheap, now might be a good time to actually reinvest in some per say?
I got rid of all my 5xxx series about 6-8 weeks ago...
I haven't checked prices lately but if they're behaving like I think they probably are, you may even be better off waiting a month or two before selling

word i might just, is this because it might get utilized to mine different currencies or just that it lowered so it has to stabilize back to the normal as it would for a regular hardware for gaming?
the second one i think. just a glut of people trying to sell them right now. i bought some 5970's back in january or february for about $250/ea and sold them for $400/ea about 6 weeks ago. they are probably back down to 200-275 or so on ebay (after fees)?
i think in a month or two they'll be at least $50 higher
for a 5850, maybe $15 or $20 higher
i sent a friend some of my hardware (some 5830s and 5870s) about 3-4 months ago since he has free electricity & told him to sell them around same time period (about 6 weeks ago)... but he was too lazy & never got around to it... so like two weeks ago I just told him to keep mining with them, since I think selling them now would be foolish.. they'll be worth the same if not more in a few months

Got a 3 month old radeon 5850, never been overclocked or tampered with, asking 1.2BTC
I've been selling mine on ebay for about $85 shipped. You should lower it a bit.
Similar and I would take BTC for my Powercolor 5850 at $85 as well
oh wow, they sure lost a lot of value. any takers for a bitcoin?
