Regarding imsaguy's claim of $70 each, I will put my money with my mouth is and offer 10% more than him

I'll make a standing offer right here to buy anyone's 5830's (working condition of course) for $77 - no limit.

I said 70-75.  If you want to quibble over $2, I'm game and will do $79.

haha.  I'll match your $79 and maybe offer a bit more.  Bring on the 5830 sellers!!!

Screw that.  This card is worth $250+.

Don't let imsaguy con you into giving it away for what "other people pay."  That's what all scammers say.
WTF.  That's not a Sapphire 5830.

thanks for the linkage.  Seems like they already sold out of the 5830 xtremes on NewEgg.

The one @

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102978

is listed as still in stock.... other one is sold out though =p 

ed: oh, yah, the xtremes are sold out...  didn't notice

Then who'd I insult if it wasn't you?
I guess you just need a better grasp of what the term 'growing a thicker skin' implies.... shrug, not sure what else to tell you.

So you might be insulted because someone gave you an offer you don't like, but it is what it is and perhaps you should grow some thicker skin.
I didn't take it personally, I just said it was insulting.

I'm agreeing with imsaguy here, I use 5830's for mining, they sell for $70 + shipping in the US. If you want to sell it for more, you can offer to ship it internationally, but that does come with slightly more risks for both you and the buyer (customs, lost mail, + more shipping costs).

I'll offer you $80 + shipping to Europe (if its a reasonable shipping price, cheapest trackable method available), payment via PayPal or BTC escrow.

The reason you can sell stuff for more on eBay is that eBay offers the buyer protection against scammers, also if the card was to break within 45 days I'd have a much better chance of getting a refund through ebay. That is why buyers will pay more on eBay.


Also, just wondering why you think imsaguy's offer is insulting for your card, is your card able to overclock to very high speeds?

Interesting then that someone just bought one for $97 @

re: your last sentence, did you even read my original post?

5830's don't sell for $70.  Bargain hunters or re-sellers look to buy them for $70, yes.

Away on an extended break
Oh well, this is a free market and the guy has every right to sell at whatever price he sees fit. Don't pester him on that.

Edit: and yes, I did saw that 'ass antenna' meme you edited  Wink

You may have bought many used 5830's on here for 70-75 'over the past 6 months', but that's not a fair price for the card I'm selling.

It's an insulting offer, really.  The type that someone that's planning on reselling it would make.

Give me a break.

Oh, and thx for the suggestion, but I prefer to wait another day or two.

Check the forum history, you can find my buys.  While you're checking, you'll notice I haven't sold any.  I'm a power user of 5830s, I know what they are actually worth.  So you might be insulted because someone gave you an offer you don't like, but it is what it is and perhaps you should grow some thicker skin.

I'd do $140 for the pair and some sort of escrow because I don't recognize your name.

i think he is only selling one
yeah, just the one for now.  then the 2nd one after I buy a 5870 to replace it.

the $140 is too low, anyway.  

i don't think it'd have any problem selling at $100 buy-it-now on ebay, except that I'd end up losing 10% of that in fees.   but if someone was actually concerned about that, then to ebay it could go.

though I'd attempt a $99 buy-it-now with a $10 shipping charge before lowering the price to a flat $100

my ebay acct has something like 400 positive feedbacks, 1 neutral, 0 negative...   not sure if paypal still has those seller ratings it used to have, but that used to be several hundred as well, though mostly from stuff I sold in '99-'02


I've bought many, many used 5830s on this forum at 70-75 over the past 6 months. It is a fair price for that card in that state.  Saying you could sell it on ebay is like standing in a farmer's market trying to sell some potatos saying you could get a certain price at the supermarket.  There's a reason each market exists and expect each to act like the other is a bit misguided.  So in short, if you think you can get more on ebay, quit talking about it here and sell it on ebay.
