im guessing that these cards are from newegg?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814103195

$80 cheaper than what your selling for.....

also these cards have a bad rep if they are from newegg read here:

They sold out.  So maybe the price was about right?

The 5970 is a very reliable card.   90% of them, including these ones, are reference designs and are identical. 

Now what happens to the 5970 more often then other cards is they are damaged by overclocking.  Putting two GPU's in a small space creates heat.  Now from the factory, even ran 24x7 with proper cooling, they still are very reliable.  You could probably run them for three years standard clocks, standard settings (like auto fan control).  Add in overclocking and tweaking and everything changes.  They overheat and dry out their thermal paste.  Some run the fans maxed out which takes down their life dramatically.

It is very simple, treat them right and they will keep running.

Out of stock.  Could be $399 cheaper doesn't really matter if they are out of stock.  No idea when or even if Newegg will ever have them back in stock.  The 5970 isn't produced anymore.

They are hard/expensive to get in US also.  Exchange rate has been high and difficulty low for 2 months now, I need more GH/s.

No one interested in these yet?

A bunch of interest, no payment yet.  These cards still do not arrive for two days.  Most of the interest is international, which makes sense as these cards are hard/expensive to get in some countries. 

I am thinking 50/50 I will be mining with them, though may sell off my weakest cards to make room.  I have a nice box with a 900w supply running just two 5830's.  I can pull them out, sell those and drop these new ones in. 


Sapphire 5830's?  I'd be willing to buy them for $75/each.

Will you check if everything's fine with the cards (bitcoin & gaming) once you get them before you ship them?
If the buyer wishes that it is possible.  Others might want them sealed and untouched as they are warranted.  I have never had to return a NEW card that I had purchased.  The only cards that ever came in 'funny' are the ones from bensoutlet, but they were refurbs.

Were these RMA's? Is that why they have nothing and you aren't getting them until Tuesday?
Brand new OEMS's just as stated above.

I can put both cards in a large flat rate international box.  I may not be able to include (fit) the original boxes but they can be packed well.   The total would be $880 but that does NOT include your customs.   I have no idea what your customs will charge you.

The price of $880 international shipped applies to almost every country other then the USA where it is $820 for both.  So if you are almost anywhere else I can do it at that price without the original boxes.

I will not have these cards until Tuesday.  Brand new but OEM so they come with nothing but the card.  I will process reasonable RMA's if buyer pays all shipping costs for one year.  I make no warranty myself on these cards, if Diamond refuses then you are screwed. 

US shipping will be priority tracked.  I will ship international with a proper customs form (no marking as gift) for actual shipping cost. 

No lower offers please, I will just place em in rigs and mine below $410 each. 

How much for both cards shipped to EU (Poland) with customs?

I will buy both for 395 each including shipping to edmonton, canada
Sorry, I was serious about mining with em.  They pay off pretty quick for me.  $410 is the tipping point where I would sell them and take a (smaller) profit up front.  Mining they should pay off (cards only) in about five months or a whole system in closer to seven months at current pricing.
