Topic: [WTB] [Old] Radeon 5970's and 5870 (Read 1655 times)
Still looking for these cards.
I can't accept your 5.0 BTC bid. I'm sorry it couldn't work out between us. I hope you find what you're looking for. Good luck!
Bitcoin continuing to rise, likely hitting $100 today or friday.
5.555 too rich for my blood. 5.0 is my offer for the two 5970.

I've been too sick to go to my office to retrieve the 5870. So let's just negotiate on the two 5970s. I can't find an escrow service that will deal with dwolla, so let's stick to bitcoins. How about we agree to a price of 5.555 BTC?
Once we can agree upon a price, I will ask the escrow service to provide you a bitcoin address. Once you have deposited payment to the escrow service, I will ship the video cards to you on the same day, provided the post office hasn't yet closed. I'm located in northern CA so I'm a couple hours behind you. You will have three days from receipt of items to inspect. In the event of a dispute, the escrow service will arbitrate the issue and render a judgement we will abide with.
Here are a couple pics of the video cards.

Much more willing than paying with BTC 
It will take me the standard 2-3 waiting period to fund my dwolla, because dwolla relies on ACH transfers which takes 2-3 days to clear.
Edit: Edited above post concerning BTC offer if BTC is necessary. I would still rather offer -slightly- under $620 worth of BTC at the time of exchanging hands because of constantly increasing price.

I am looking for an escrow service that will handle payment in USD. Are you willing to offer payment in dwolla?
ssateneth, my assumption is that your offer of 7.75 BTC is for all 3 video cards, namely, the 5870 and the two 5970s. This is correct, right? I haven't yet tested the 5870 nor pulled the card out for testing like I've done for the 5970s. Does your offer still stand?
I just want to remove any ambiguity in negotiation. That's all.

This would be so much easier if I could pay with fiat...
edit: BTC way to volatile to give a decent offer. At the time of writing this if I had to offer BTC (which I'd rather not offer ahead of time) I'm down to offering 7.25, but I would still feel much more comfortable negotiating a BTC amount at the exact time of trading.

7.75 BTC shipped is acceptable. I'll start boxing up the two 5970 video cards and open escrow with TangibleCryptography. In the meantime, send me a PM with the address you would like me to ship to.
Was able to scrounge up 2 more BTC, bringing my wallet to 6.xx. Still need about 1.xx more for the 5870.
Also escrow is fine. Would 7.75 BTC shipped to 54501 be acceptable?

I will only accept payment in bitcoins coupled with an escrow service I trust like TangibleCryptography. I will even cover the cost of escrow services.
I can ship the two cards anytime. If you want to wait until you have sufficient bitcoins before giving me a counteroffer, that's totally fine. If you already have sufficient bitcoins, feel free to give me a counteroffer.

I would be more comfortable in the area of 6.xx BTC with exact amount to be worked out at the time of right before mailing because bitcoin rates are still very volatile. We will easily see 80 by the end of the week, probably even higher. Bitcoin went up $5 in the last 24 hours even.
I've got very numerous ratings in #bitcoin-otc, my ebay is OTC-verified, and I am photo-verified with state-issued ID as well.
If you accept moneypaks, I can pay with a moneypak as well.

Since I've had a terrible cold, I haven't been to go to the office to retrieve and test the 5870. So how about we deal with the two 5970 cards first? That way, you won't need to generate as many bitcoins. Like I originally proposed, let's hook it up with escrow. That way, if for some magical reason, artifacts start showing up the day you receive the cards, we can reverse the transaction and nobody has to have any hurt feelings.
As I would like payment in bitcoin, how about a price of 7.05 BTC?

Well obviously its running without crashing, and you are probably watching the screen and not noticing any artifacts (if you did, you'd tell me, right?)
Anyways, let me work on those coins. I'm a miner, and they come in slow these days, but I got about 15 ghash at my disposal so they aren't that slow to come in. Looks like about 8 coins and some change. I've currently got 4.85 in my wallet, so let me work on that for a bit. Might buy some from an OTC member to cover the rest and negotiate a final BTC amount.

I have a new set of test results. Let me know your thoughts.
you're right but they have better cards, just choose one and i could give you a good price!
Best buy does not sell these cards. They are too high performance (too niche), and they are about 4 years old.
have best buy gift codes that i can sell for 65-70% value BTC or LR. you could buy your cards yourself. pm me if interested!
The only thing I really need to know is if you run it in error checking mode for a while (say 15 minutes) in full screen mode so crossfire kicks in, see if it kicks out any errors in the error counter. I appreciate the pictures though, but not what I need.
go to the GPU:3D tab, test type infinite, directx 11, set the resolution to your monitor's native resolution, full screen, error check, shader complexity to 7, and fps limit to something really high like 6000.
Let it run for like 15-20 minutes. If you get no errors, its very likely they are game-ready and I will pay the price you want. I am interested in both 5970 as well as the 5870.
