Mostly it is too much hassle and risk. I assume you don't want deliver the cards to me. So I would have to deal with you for the Paypal conversion, then another person for the delivery. Plus both of us would be subject to Paypal's risks, nulling the advantages of dealing in Bitcoins only...

Anyway I have reflected on this and have decided to buy cheaper used HD5970s instead.

Yep, I'm too far away to deal in person. I was actually just suggesting the idea to do it yourself with paypal.
Also suggesting you could BTC me and I'll convert to paypal and ship them to you.


I agree used 5970's are going to be the way to go though, good call and good luck on it.

Maybe you've got your reasons for not wanting to do it but couldn't you convert this to paypal and then pay with that online and have it delivered?
I don't mind doing it for you if you want, it's easy enough.

If you don't want to do that for some reason I understand.

if you're gonna ask someone to buy something for you, pay them first. that way, you can't re-negotiate the deal at your door.

Hmm good point. A lot of trust would be needed to pay first. Perhaps I should offer using an escrow service?

lol is this a joke? So your gonna pay nothing for all the trouble of buying and delivering these cards to your lazy ass.. yeah good luck with that

Not a joke. I do suggest buyers to wait until the exchange rate raises above my $0.857/BTC offer, that way you make a profit.

This store in Los Angeles has at least 3 HD5970 available for $599.99 each ($655 including taxes): Fry's Electronic, 6100 Canoga Avenue, Woodland Hills, CA 91367 (Google maps) (Fry's map) (store hours)

Availability and price of the HD5970 can be checked on: http://www.frys.com/product/6099158  (add to cart, select 'store pickup', and search by zip code)

In fact multiple Fry's in the area carry the HD5970. But the stores are far from where I live, my time is precious, I have plenty BTC but a little strapped on cash right now, etc.

So, go buy three HD5970 from this store (or any other store), it should cost you about $1970 incl. taxes, deliver them to my place, and I will pay you 2300 BTC (my rate is equivalent to $0.857/BTC). Of course I expect a store receipt (I will not accept the delivery without it) and the cards in their original packaging. I live in south Redondo Beach (20min from LAX). You can deliver them any weekday after 8pm, or on the weekends. I will pay you on delivery. Feel free to hang out at my place a few minutes, as you wait for one transaction confirmation from the Bitcoin network. I am a cool guy, live alone, and south Redondo Beach is not a shady area :-)
