Topic: Selling 6990's... - page 3. (Read 3143 times)
just sell them on ebay. looks like your using the cheapest parts you for your computer. Just saw one sell for 2200. so you;d make around 2000
16x6990="little" mining operation? I guess my mining operation is microscopic then. Is the landlord's complaint that you are just using too much power, or was he/she paying the bill? Have you considered just scaling down or moving the rigs someplace where you can rent the power? (Don't know much about renting power, but I remember running across a post on this forum that mentioned it.)
Alans, you should without a doubt try using craigslist as well. You can do local meet ups with people to save shipping costs and paypal fees. If someone cannot meet up at all costs, you can tell him to send you the payment as a gift. I believe paypal does not charge their customers any percentages if it's sent as a gift.
The problem with Ebay/Paypal is that between the two, you lose almost 15% off the top of your selling price with their fees. I still use them a lot, but not for such high dollar items.
I would first suggest trying to sell locally for cash using a site like Craigslist.
Or you could open up an Amazon.com seller account. Their fees are a little less than ebay and you still hit quite a large amount of potential buyers.
Or use a third party/escrow shipping service and still try to move them on forums here or hardforum, etc...
If you felt like taking a huge financial loss, you could sell them to me. Thought I would throw that in there.

As an incentive I will give 1BTC divided equally among the folks that provide any valuable insight or opinion on the matter. If I think your input has merit and or it helps me make the decision on how best to sell them I will pm you asking for the address. I will post the username of each person getting a share of the bounty.
Thanks!
Thanks!
I've been reading through a lot of the marketplace postings and such and boy do scams abound!
Here's the deal. I just got trounced by my landlord for sucking up the juice with my little mining operation and rather than go looking for a new place to live I think I'm going to part out the systems I have starting with 8 Sapphire HD 6990's.
What's the best way for me to sell them? One of the things I love about bitcoins is that they aren't paypal. But, at the same time I don't know how comfortable I am with making a large btc transaction with an anonymous stranger. Looks like a lot of people have gotten scammed and I don't want to get involved in some whack-jobs life. Still, I really don't want to give a cut to paypal/ebay.
It looks like there a couple of escrow sites and btc auction sites coming on line but this is going to be a pretty big sale and a btc auction site with two whole items listed in Russian is probably no safer than accepting a wire transfer from an African prince.
So, as of now these cards are NOT for sale. I am not going to answer any questions about them or dicker over price until I've determined the best way for me to sell them and the best way for someone else to buy them. Once' they're up for sale I'll happily provide details, photos and what not and will let you know here where/how to go about bidding/buying/whatever I end up deciding what to do.
Rather, I would appreciate your input and insight on the best way to conduct a large transaction like this in bitcoins.
Worst case, I post them on ebay, I have an excellent rating there but haven't used it in a few years.
