this dude is a troll- i won't waste time listing why other than saying check his post history.

And yet I agree with all of his arguments.  Bitcoin mining profitability is down hugely from what it once was.  But we don't need to argue about it; the market will decide.  Will EPiSKiNG be able to sell his hardware at the prices he's demanding?  I don't think so.

In response to my offer for one of his 5870's:

No... That's too low.  Mayyyyyybe 270.

For $270 I could get (2) Sapphire 5830 Extreme's from NewEgg (yes, they're in stock) for $129.99 each!

(2) 5830's = 600 MH/s.
(1) used 5870 = 400 MH/s.

You got tons of use out of them, why do you think you can gouge on the way out? You're a few weeks' too late for that.

If you think we're going to pay June 5th prices for this hardware with the current difficulty and Bitcoin price, you've got another thing coming.

I offered $170 for your card, which is a fair price consider it's used. And what good is it? It's primary resale value is for mining. But what value is it for a miner?

Even at the "low, low price" of $170, it would take 68 DAYS to pay for itself, assuming difficulty stops rising (which it hasn't, and won't).
(As an aside -- difficulty continues to increase. It is not even holding steady, much less going down.  The last 2 days the network hashrate was lower, but it picked right back up now that a couple DDoS'd pools are back online)

68 days is a huge risk for a miner. A lot can happen in 2 1/3 months!

seriously, they need to ban him. he flames and trolls on every possible post.

anyways 5870's going for around 250$ on ebay now =\ farrr down from the 325 it was going for during the peak

Flames AND trolls -- on every possible post, no less!
So now I'm on the offensive, coming out of nowhere insulting and name-calling.
It just gets better all the time! 
Come on, you can do better than that. PUPPIES, I tell you. Why not go a few steps further; say that I grind puppies up into taco meat and use their bones to create macabre lampshades.

And why do you suppose I haven't been banned yet?  (Maybe because I haven't done any flaming OR trolling?)
Or maybe it's because they don't want to ban me, because they'd rather hold out for what I really deserve, which is THE CHAIR.
Not just any electrocution, mind you, but electrocution WITHOUT ANY WATER IN THE SPONGE like in that scene in The Green Mile.
