If I weren’t paranoid about getting refund scammed, I’d Ebay all my cards right now and wait for Ampere. I’d hate to sell them and then on day 29 get hosed on a bunch of returns.

Its a scary thought, but like a heart attack is scary. Its just probably not going to happen unless you open yourself up a bunch of ... risk factors lol. Insure it, real non bullshit shipping (no first class), tracking, and if you wanna get paranoid make a video of you packing the thing with serial number on camera then sign the box across the flaps. Then make a short video of you clearly dropping that box into the priority chute at USPS. No one is ever going to see it but its free ammunition in a Paypal escalation if it actually comes down to that.

It happens, someone returned one on me but on the whole flipping GPUs on ebay has been lucrative for me. If you can get the same money on craigslist that would be better but I like ebay because I can sell them really fast. Also people are just dumb on ebay, I sold my Titan X for $950 after the 1080 Ti release and before crypto mining got big.

GPUs were still being sold out within seconds of restocking during the correction. If you are so afraid of maybes I wouldnt go outside ever, i hear its dangerous

Can anyone in Australia confirm that for once we're not the ones getting hosed on prices? I checked Newegg and a couple other places to sewe what you guys were talking about and holy poo poo you weren't kidding. GTX 1070 for USD$1000? What the gently caress. I checked the usual suspects over here and a 1070 is running AUD$700-800 which is less than USD$650. It only just dawned how hosed up mining has made prices over there. For sure prices have gone up here but gently caress that poo poo. I really am sorry for you guys.

So what is the actual price people are paying for, say, a 1070? Is it around the $600-650 mark? Also supply is still a problem over there, correct? I haven't seen any shortages here. A dozen or so pages ago there was pics of empty GPU shelves in stores. Exaggerated or not? It's so hard to distinguish what's hyperbole and what's factual at the moment.

SlayVus posted:PayPal sides with the buyer on returns for SIX MONTHS. Paypal demands the item be "significantly not as described" and demands some evidence. They are not as easily swayed as eBay, who needs people to feel comfortable to buy things in order to be a place for people to sell things. eBay's policies are what they are as a way to keep their business competitive. PayPal's policies are what they are because of European Union consumer laws, and they're not going to accept "I decided I didn't like it". If you think this is really a problem, then I suggest trying to buy cars and really expensive poo poo with PayPal and try returning it after five months.

Lube banjo posted:I don't know, it's interesting to me that America is currently on the world poo poo-list and suddenly our prices on things we import have gone up. It may not be all politics but there is something to it To be fair, a big part of this is because power is a good bit cheaper in large portions of the US than in most other countries in the world--particularly developed ones--so there's more mining activity in the US than most other countries. Hence the mining craze is impacting stock more here than elsewhere. Comparatively, these crazy prices in the US are bringing them up to about parity with what some Euro/ANZAC countries pay normally (admittedly a bunch of that is due to VAT, better customer protections adding cost, etc.). Even with the craze, the average price for a 1080 right now seems to be around $750 in the US, and about 650 euros in Germany (the only place I looked, cuz I'm lazy). 650 euro = ~$800, so pretty close to each other.

redeyes posted:Just think the 1080s were selling for around $750-700 in Nov 2016. I know! I'm really tempted to dump mine back for close to the $675 I paid near launch. Especially since I picked up a 1080Ti hydro recently, so I'm good for all the gaming I do. I'm pretty confident that I can continue to make ~$5/day with the 1080 for a bit here, but if Ampere launches in March, I'm not particularly confident I'd be able to make up the ~$300 hit in sale price I'd imagine the 1080 will take by then.

Reading all this, I'm amazed I managed to get my 1080 for $382 in mid-2017 (EVGA FE open-box at Microcenter). Really lucked out. I wonder if I should sell it to some buttminer, but I don't wanna have to replace it...

Seems like what companies think about mining boils down to "pretty awesome if you're Sapphire, Zotac, or PNY; okay if you're EVGA or Asus, bad if you're Gigabyte and MSI." The worst thing that can happen is the whole desktop market dissolves, and with plenty of laptops and Android tablets I have to assume that Asus is better prepared to weather that storm than the other two big names.

I just sold my 1070 for 830 cad (665usd) on eBay. I paid 425 for it (about 350usd). I selected used and no returns as options when selling. And I'll be shipping it with tracking, insurance and a required signature on delivery. Luckily another Canadian purchased it so I don't have to deal with customs bullshit. Also have a 4gb gtx 770 for sale. 2 days left and it's at 125. Lots of Amazon stores are unaware of the price spike and are selling cards for around MSRP. I just purchased a 1080ti for a little over 1000cad. It's an Asus strix ROG which was always about $100 more than the cheapest zotac cards. jonathan fucked around with this message at 01:57 on Jan 22, 2018 |

logikv9 posted:I am extremely tempted to sell off my refurb 1070 for big $$$ now and hopefully sink those costs into a better GPU post-crash but that PayPal 180 day thing is scaring me. Lots of people have sold lots of GPUs (I've sold three myself) and never had any issue? Just make sure you have pictures of the serial number and include those in the listing so nobody tries any funny business. Most likely scam is somebody tries to give you a broken busted card of the same type, but if they know that you know the serial for that card, they're not going to swap in a card with a different serial and go "hey this is busted, take it back". If you're the kind of person with enough free space to collect hardware boxes, EVGA actually includes the serial number on the box with a window above to make sure the numbers match. Usually your buyer will give you positive feedback within the first 30 days, indicating that they're satisfied and not going to pull some weirdness on you. PayPal is very clear on what is/isn't covered by the 180 thing, and it's almost all scam protection. "The market crashed three months later and I don't want this card anymore at this price" isn't going to be covered. Even if, barring all evidence to the contrary, it actually happened, as long as you bought your replacement GPU at non-inflated prices you could always sell it and go back to your old GPU, effectively paying a small amount of money to loan your GPU to a stranger and use a nicer one in the interim. It stings a little, but it's nowhere near as catastrophic as investing your money into crypto right now. Chances are waiting for prices to come down and the card you want to appear at the price you want will eat up at least a month or two anyway.

jonathan posted:Craptacular, what about "no returns" as a selling option ? Doesn't do squat. Basically eBay demands you respect their 30 day return period guarantee on a huge variety of categories. Some things like vehicles and real estate aren't covered, but even things like antiques and old timey baseball cards usually are. The fact that there's a pricing market that's very much in flux for the object doesn't really matter. Even though even eBay says buyer's remorse isn't really a valid excuse, they'll still often take it or do minimal policing, because eBay dies if nobody's buying things. If people decide to sell elsewhere, that's their own business, but if people don't feel comfortable buying then eBay (which makes their profits on final sale price) loses money and nobody can sell anything there anyway. PayPal's policy is simply applying worldwide the most liberal/consumer-friendly policy that they're forced to listen to as a result of being an international retail system, and they have less profit motive to side with buyers. In my case with the summer bubble, I sold a card on June 20th and bought a card on July 31st, and lived on a 2013 Intel iGPU that can barely run eSports titles in-between. There were zero occasions in the interim where I thought "oh I'd buy that card if the money wasn't at risk" because it took a few months for supply to show back up and prices to begin to recover.

Depends how much you value your paypal account. If you keep your account at 0 balance at all times, the worst that can happen is that they reverse it later and send you into a negative balance. But Paypal balance is considered internet funnymoney, so they can't send that balance to collections. At least they couldn't when I was scammed as a Seller about 5 years ago. I don't know if things have changed. I was scammed for $400 on ebay. Paypal sent some emails and made some phone calls to me about how I needed to pay to cover the $400 negative balance, but I just ignored them because that sounded like the dumbest thing ever. "Congrats, you've been scammed! Please transfer in $400 to pay for being scammed." It never hit my credit report. I signed up for a new paypal account a couple months later and haven't had any problems, just don't provide your SSN since it is optional and they track it.

On OCUK 1080tis have reached £750 for the basic FE and 860+ for the rest with most being 900. It's absolutely crazy how I got mine for 680. I'm seriously considering selling mine for a tidy profit. I hardly game on PC since Destiny was such a massive failure.

I'm pretty paranoid right now since I flipped my video card on ebay to a guy who registered just to buy the card.He paid immediately via paypal, and paypal said I was good to ship and had seller protection. I took tons of pictures of the card and box at all angles, and even pictures of how well packed it was in the shipping box. I thought about making a mark with a sharpie somewhere unnoticeable in case they tried some kind of switcheroo. We'll see if I get hosed or not!
