I am selling my 480 8gb with a power supply for $350. Should I wait for vega for GPU price drops or should I pony up and buy a 1070 now ?
Sell it for $700
>>61067253
LOL you realize the 1070s are going for like $600
Good luck with finding a 1070
>>61068075
SO basically wait for vega or pony up the extra cash?
>>61067253
Hold onto your handrails OP. 1070's are up by $200
u can sell that for like 500 now because of crypto miners.
but u wont be able to buy anything for a while because... crypto miners.

You can make $300 a month by mining with a single 480. Don't sell it.
If you aren't starved for the $300 hold the coin until it reaches $1000 this year.
>>61067253
sell it to a miner and pay the difference for a 1080. you can pretty much buy a 1080 for what it costs you to buy a 1070 nowadays. (1080's aren't good for mining coins so no price change)

I thought it wasn't even profitable to mine anymore, or was that a ruse someone told me so I wouldn't?
Lul i bought a high end factory OC'd 1070 for $420 right before the prices began to inflate (2 weeks ago)
>>61070070
This is retarded advice. You still have electricity bills.
>>61067253
Sell that shit for $500
>>61070070
except at current difficulty it takes 3 months to mine a single coin with a 480...
Sell it for $500. $350 is WAY too low.

>You can make $300 a month by mining with a single 480
lolwut i call bullshit. how?

single card mining isnt too profitable, but 6 480's for ethereum is

>sold the RX meme and bought the 1070 meme before those took off
glad i don't have to compete with these fuckers for at least a couple years.
>>61070119
480's dont get 30
>>61070082
>I thought it wasn't even profitable to mine anymore
it wasn't in february, you'd have been laughed at for trying
and now it is pretty profitable again because the market is going nuts
there will be a time when it's not profitable again
and then in another couple years it will be more profitable than ever... again

Easily if you overclock a bit or ask someone to make you some custom timings.
My gigabyte 580 can reach 31mh undervolted consuming only 70w but I'm too lazy configure the miner so I settle for 28.
>>61070239
that would still take 3 months to mine a coin at current difficulty. not taking into account difficulty increases as time goes by
>>61070239
dude don't run your fans so high, the little voltage regulators for those aren't meant for max speed 24/7
keep it under 80%, maybe even 70% unless you're cool with a soldering gun to do graphics card surgery

You can't use the rig as well if it's your only computer.
>mine for a month, make $180
>get to keep gpu
>can't use computer or play video games
>sell on fleabay
>realistically make $100 profit tops
>pray the person you sold it to doesn't file a dispute for "defective" after mining isn't profitable now that the dispute period is 180 days
>>61070324
You can still use your computer but basically as a shitty laptop
I made like 200 burgers on ebay through my 480 but fucking ebay took a huge chunk of it, never using that shit again
>>61070318
The higher you go the less load on the fan vrm. Fan death is perpetuated by tech illiterate and koreans.
>>61069102
Save extra cash and buy vega
>>61070356
it's your call if you want to break your shit
my friend popped three 280x fan regulators just cracking wifi passwords cause he was a dumbass that ran his fans 100%
>>61070339
>but fucking ebay took a huge chunk of it, never using that shit again
You're doing it wrong, eBay isnt for normie sellers....
You should ONLY be selling on eBay if you have an eBay store (TRS optional). The fees are so much less, as much as 60% less
If you are top rated you used to be able to get an additional 20% off fees, but now its only 10%. Which is realistically not worth it since you must offer returns with TRS program. .

how much does ebay take now? i used to sell my old ps2 and ps3, to buy the next new one for like $200 on ebay.
was gonna sell my ps4 now for like $200 (with all its games thats why its 200)
>>61070383
is there anywhere else that has a service nearly equal to ebay or am I going to risk getting stabbed and my shit taken by retards
>>61070392
20-30% and shipping costs are through the seller or buyer, not provided by ebay
>>61070408
Reddit. But faggots are always down voting my shit when I refuse a 50% discount or doesn't want to trade for their replica air jordans
>>61070408
the fuck? it was just like a few dollars before. thats not cool
>>61070392
10% for regular ebay members. 4% for a basic ebay store....
>>61070408
>20-30%
What??
Its 10% for video game consoles....
http://www.fees.ebay.com/feeweb/feecalculator
then a 3% paypal fee on funds received. so 13% total.

eBay is jewish but not that jewish. Dont listen to people who have little experience with ebay.
Like I said, a basic ebay store is the way to go if you will save more than the monthly cost of that store. ($20 recurring, $25 for one month).
>>61070432
It's usually old as fuck hardware that they pawn on that sub too. I guess I'll try there
>>61070444
It used to be the shit but they needed consistent sellers rather than grandma making trinkets every other month I guess
