Those prices are ridiculous, especially for used hardware... Jus' saying.

Heh. For 1 month used video cards? 99% of other people are marking UP their cards. Mine are sticker value from NewEgg. So, fuck off. Jus' saying.

Not to mention who knows what the fuck is going to happen with BTC value once Mt. Gox reopens.

Why would anyone mark up their cards? Is supply really getting that bad? Except for the 6990 I can get any of these from a couple of places. Waterblocks et. al I'd obviously have to order. If things are that bad in the boondocks then I hope ATI buys Satoshi something nice for Christmas because he has obviously delivered them some unexpected demand.

$0.26/KWh!! - crap on a cracker! Man that is rough. Is that the residential rate? I'm less than a third of that.

Where you been? Almost impossible to find 5830s, 5850s, and 5870s. Anyways, not every card is at cost. The 6950, 6970s are discounted. I might lower the 6870 but probably not. It has more value then just mining. I'll more then likely just ebay them as people expect a lower price here because they aren't as fast miners.

Kylesaisgone was offering 130$ for a 6870 in another post which is just plain ridiculous.

And the power is residential rates.

A brand new 6870 on newegg is $185 with a $20 MIR and 2 free games

Or $175 if you dont want to deal with rebate hassle.

You're asking beyond NEW prices on nearly all of that hardware.

I'm on oahu myself and sold a 6870 locally in 4 hours with craigslist for $170. Youre going to sit on that card for months easily over $30? Your choice I suppose.

You say who knows what will happen to bitcoin after the next jump? Mining for profit will die, you're not even offering to ship item immediately because you KNOW this is the last 2 days of reasonable mining. Even if BTC tripled in price overnight tomorrow I still wouldn't mine because it STILL wouldn't be as profitable as it was ~ 20 days ago. I started mining at 430k diff and $28 a coin. . . who the fuck will pay a premium for mining cards at $15 a coin and 1.4m diff?

Your arrogance and ignorance is just adding to the reasons I hate this god-forsaken state. . . Can't wait to get out of hawaii!
