Anyone here frequenting their local Craigslist or eBay listings for GPU prices?
It seems that the RX 470/570 4GB and R9 7970/280X have equal values pretty much. Around $70 USD each.
The R9 290 however seems to fetch the most for $80 USD.
Seems that right now is a good time to sell the 280X/290 and buy the RX series GPUs if you feel mining has a future and plan on mining then.
Must be a bunch of miners unloading or something where you are. My local CL prices for the 470/570 and 480/580 GPUs are $160 and up and they are XFX, Powercolor, etc. No Sapphires and only one or two MSIs and those were over 200. The R9 prices seem to be a bit higher.
could be a scammer be careful.

to me if you can sell some 280x/290 and get some rx 470 with 8gb for 110 newegg selling them why not
Don't know if they are scammers or not, but the sellers do appear to be businesses versus individuals, except in the case of the MSI cards, which appeared to be individuals. The businesses seem to be dismantlers parting out systems that they have obtained.
I'd take a newegg deal any day. I've ordered a bunch of stuff from them and had no problems.
Here's a deal for Sapphire RX 470 8GB for $109.99 (limit 10) and they are offering to include a free riser:
