Efficiency is one thing indeed.
Don't forget warranty as well. Most of these cards will be out of warranty, and likely to die on you pretty soon. These prices are too high considering the risks you're taking in my opinion.

Probably not a good idea.
First of all those are very old cards and unless you are paying less than $0.10 USD for electricity they probably won't be profitable. Secondly, there are so many upcoming threats to mining that will simply increase the difficulty too much to make all GPUs not profitable. I highly recommend you read up on the upcoming delivery of ASICs and the ETH POS fork.

I agree. These cards are not very efficient. You need to undervolt a lot to be profitable.
Well, these cards come with a 6month warranty and they are sold from the official reseller of amd for Bulgaria, that's why i was wondering.
Anyway the price of the electricity here is around 0.07cents, so it is not a big deal - for my 580 i am paying around 60$ electricity bill, so even if i get to 250$ per month won't affect my budget a lot, considering they provide good hashes ofc, im going long long term on this
Whats the speed of your card on cryptonight heavy btw?

If I remember correctly around 600-700 H/s.
Ethash it does 28 MH/s with powersave and 31 OC.
Neoscrypt is a beast with over 1 MH /s

Used cards are good. Both my rigs run only on used cards from ebay and local people selling theirs. Its a risk but buying new is not an option for me because of the price.
However these cards that you posted are all old and power hogs. On top of that I don't find them cheap. I bought my last card (Sapphire RX 580 Pulse 8GB) for 250 EUR. That I consider ok price. But 250 EUR for 290X? I mean its a great card but it uses quite a lot of power.
I am willing to sell you my RX 290X in perfect condition for 220 EUR. Where are you from?

Hello guys!
I found a distributor, who sells refurbished cards - mainly AMD Sapphire:
R9 270X 2G DDR5 - 75 euros
R9 285 2G GDDR5 - 110 euros
Sapphire NITRO R9 380 2GB GDDR5 - 125 euros
NITRO R9 380 4G GDDR5 - 140 euros
NITRO R9 380X 4GB GDDR5 - 150 euros
NITRO R9 390 8GB GDDR5- 220 euros
TRI-X R9 290X 8GB GDDR5 - 250euros
R9 390X 8GB GDDR5 - 270euros
I am thinking of expanding my rigs, simply because these cards, at least in my opinion are kinda cheap. For the past couple of months I have been mining mainly the cryptonight algos, mainly heavy. I am currently with RX580s and they perform just great. As far as I know, AMD cards are great for this algorithm, but I was not able to find any information regarding the hashrate of the above mentioned cards.
I would be really grateful, if you guys are currently mining with these cards and share your thoughts.
I am making my own researches, ofc, won't rely solely on your opinion, but I just want to know how these cards perform under cryptonight-heavy simply because I cannot find any information...
Your replies would be greatly appreciated!
As always, thanks for taking the time to read my thread and I wish you profitable mining!
