Wait,  are these signed ?

If they were signed from the “Maker” then maybe they would have some collectible value to justify the ridonculous price Smiley Wink

Thanks!

This guy and his pricing got to be one of the most ridiculous ones I have seen so far.

I can go to Evga and buy new 1080ti with warranties at 629 a piece .

PayPal Credit gives me 6 months to pay no interest..

So 8 directly from the manufacturer is under 5.1k.

 Two Mobos 200
two psus     200
two  CPUs.   200
Two ssds.     100
2 sticks ram 100

800

So new 2 builds with warranty and six months to pay no interest under 6k.


And he asked 10,500. And he acts insulted life is filled with funny things and even funnier people.

500 or best offer  so 8x500 = 4000 plus other parts  so maybe your gear is worth 4500 on eBay  on bitcointalk with no paypal safety net it is worth under that 4k tops.

Thanks.  Your points may be valid, but you, too, are comparing apples to oranges.  Perhaps other 1080ti cards can be indeed had for a lower price -- and they probably function just fine -- but the particular ones in my rigs go for a higher price, and I would be a fool to sell them for less than that.  That's what irks me about all these monkeys coming in here and throwing poop -- they're trying to get me to sell a specific model of card, one that's more sought-after than the others, for far less than what it can fetch.  Essentially, they're swindlers.

Your gigabyte are not in high demand I dont know where youre getting that from? Can you link me somewhere I can read that at? Cause I know for a fact the EVGA and Asus Strix are in the top tier lists all across the board.

Maybe they do price-fixing and I'm simply unaware, but Amazon lists a range of prices for the model I have, both new and used, and I picked a sensible one on the low end.  In any case, I've also seen them on eBay for similar amounts.  So, regardless of whether people on this forum consider them to be "worth it", there does seem to be a market for them at said price.  What gets me, though, is why people feel the need to blow into this thread and spew garbage about being able to get an identical rig for a few hundred bucks.  What are they lacking in their lives that the only thrill they get is by undermining other people?  Is it some kind of leftist/communist mentality, that they think they are the ultimate authority on what my rigs "should" go for?  If so, it's weird that people like that would infest what otherwise seems to be a free-market-respecting board.

Lets put it this way. Has there been any interest in your GPU since youve had them up since Feb? And more recently at your lower price? Just keeping it real here on this forum. #nocrystalball

Just put this on ebay or craigslist and let it sit there till the next bull run.  No one is going to pay your disgusting price here in the current market.

I've also checked the Amazon prices for new and used cards, and set my "buy it now" suggestion based on those, in conjunction with the fact that it throws in the other hardware for free, and that it's already tested.

only rich kids get their parents to buy them a 1080ti for 1k on amazon, but anyone who has a single clue about mining knows the prices for these gears.

500$ for each card and giving the rest of the components for free is the average fair price as of today's market, you could get a bit higher than that in EU zone, i have bought a bunch of these for a client last moth for an average price of 450$ locally, so really 500$ is a perfect deal from a seller's stand point.

also it does NOT matter who built them or how they did it, your cards won't make 1 cent less if there were put here and installed by my grandmother.


the above rig was not built by my grandmother  Roll Eyes


I don't intend to be mean , not trying to low ball "obviously i have no interest in these rigs", but i am just trying to help you out with some facts which you might not be aware of.

New cards on Amazon are $1,400 to $2,000.  Used ones are about half that.


Amazon prices are "way-off", an old gtx960 going for about 400$  while RTX2060 selling for 350$ , RTX2080ti is priced at 1200$ > https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-GeForce-Graphic-GV-N208TGAMING-OC-11GC/dp/B07GJKR7RW/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=2080ti&qid=1555560726&s=gateway&sr=8-3

this should give you an idea that a brand new 1080ti is no where close to 1400$, let alone 2000$.

good luck.

youre still asking way to much for your parts. I live in the same area as you and even then way too much. youre basing your price on amazon new pricing in which yes they are inflated. at best youre gonna get max 500-550 for each gpu. 550x8=$4400 look on ksl and see for yourself my man. if i was looking to buy your rig as is id offer $3500 and id be picking up locally. just because its built by voskcoin/remote mine doesnt mean you have anything special.
No, I did not base my prices on new cards.  New cards on Amazon are $1,400 to $2,000.  Used ones are about half that.  Lying about it isn't going to get you anywhere.


Why don't you call Vosk and ask him to price it for you.  You clearly have no idea.

The problem with trying to use Amazon Used prices, which are higher than other companies, is that you wouldnt be able to even sell these on Amazon. Not only does Amazon require new produt invoices from actual distributors which would require you to have a resale license, you would also need to take the 10%+ return ratio that amazon has on graphics cards. You should be using eBay to price your graphics cards and atleast subtracting 15% due to the fees and shipping.

[WTS] Posting guidelines for physical goods

This here is a good place to start, the biggest things are to show proof of ownership, and then focus on payments accepted and if your willing to use forum trusted escrow (that's the norm around here)

Those points surprisingly aren't your biggest issue with the listing, they normally are as many scammers try and skirt the issue to find a sucker. Looking at community standards on this board there is no "expectation" that the item has to be sold once listed, even if you say OBO, you can still turn down any offer. Just don't renege on a deal that you've agreed to. This changes if you say host an auction, I feel anyone starting these is making an implied contract to sell, if the minimums are met.

buckrogers laid things out really well, and followed up with a great response. Your running into a pricing issue. It's rare especially in this market to find anyone paying inflated costs, or give an honest second look at an overpriced add. Now again you are allowed to price your item how you see fit, but I would take the previous advice and really consider what you deem fair and reasonable and list there. You can pick a bottom line and say firm on price. The other option is using a different venue for your sale.

Good luck, and well done trying to learn how things are done here.
Well, I finally got the first step done: pictures of the assembled rig, with closeups of parts and numbers, verified by the presence of a recent periodical.

I've also checked the Amazon prices for new and used cards, and set my "buy it now" suggestion based on those, in conjunction with the fact that it throws in the other hardware for free, and that it's already tested.

The first rig was built by Vosk at the end of 2017, and consists of four cards.  The second rig was built by Remote Mine (run by Corbin Pointer and Manraj Gill) in early 2018, and is half empty.  Both rigs were used about half a year, then shut down when Remote Mine closed with hardly any warning (refusing even to break down the rigs and sell them).  The rigs then got shipped to Utah, where a prospective host failed to make use of them since.

As for the price, there's nothing stopping people from haggling, is there?  However, it's inappropriate to come into my thread, make a bunch of faulty assumptions about the hardware, and then urinate on my suggested price for it.  Roll Eyes

I will entertain counter-offers, but nothing so silly.  Thank you.


.01 BTC, final offer.

Wait just a minute. Did i read that right ? TWO bitcoins ?
Good Luck with dat  Wink


"The figure of 2 BTC was simply an aggressive starting point, based on the realization that there are a lot of jerks out there who would try to publicly poo-poo the hardware and drive down the price, no matter how low I set it.  Anybody who acts shocked and appalled over me pointing out that simple fact is just being manipulative."

Yeah. Two bitcoins worth of manipulation,indeed.
