How hard is it to sell your​ cards without losing out on fees or PayPal fraud?

Ok, I guess the hype is dying quickly then. Still holding out hope I can flip my GPU on Craigslist.

I included links to the mining calculator and everything.

no... that is not how it works with gpus , outside of moving parts. It is conceivable that cards operating with nearly out of spec parts may come to light that running them 24/7 may push them over the edge (cough evga) but thats just speculation.

Youre probably thinking about razer mice or something or perhaps CPUs with max vcore

So here's the story. One month ago I partnered up with 2 of my buddies to start a huge Ethereum mining investment. We went to every Micro Center in New York and cleared all the AMD cards off the shelves. We also purchased cards on NewEgg, Amazon, BestBuy and etc. We had friends and relatives shipped cards to us from out of state. Two weeks ago we finally found a suitable space to run our rigs. It is a warehouse about a 1 hour drive away from where we live. We signed the lease and immediately hired an electrician to do some wiring work. It was not until a week ago that we realized we purchased way too many graphic cards. We simply do not have enough electrical power to support all our rigs. I mean we knew we wouldn’t have enough electrical power from the start but we thought we could just add more power to the place easily but apparently that’s not the case. We have to apply for it, wait for its’ approval and even after it’s approved it is going to be quite costly. So a cheaper and faster solution to our problem right now is to look for a second space which we are in the process of doing right now. But we still have too many cards right now. Currently we’re running around 85 - 95 graphic cards and some heavy duty fans from Home Depot at our current place. We still have about 150 graphic cards sitting around and another 17 coming from California. Assuming the second space we lease will most likely have the standard electrical power available, that will mean we will have to look for a third space. Since time is of the essence right now and we do not know when we will find our third space or even our second space, my partners and I have decided we will sell about 50 – 80 of our graphic cards to minimize our risks.
So here's the problem. When we were moving all the graphic cards to the warehouse, we unboxed everything in order to fit everything in my car. The cards are all mixed up and I have no idea which are 570s, which are 580s, which are 4GBs and which are 8GBs. Anyone who has been clearing the shelves will know that they come in so many shapes and forms. And even if I figure out which one is which, I still have to match them with all my receipts. Anyone have a quick solution to this problem? The only thing I can think of is to sell them in bundles, just grabbing them out at random and putting a flat cost on all the cards instead of marking them up individually. But I don't know will it take long for me to find a buyer this way since it would require them to have a lot of capital at hand.

what exactly has caused the steep drop in profits over the last week. I was doing over $6 a day on a 1070 and now its barely $3. Still way in the black but troubling. Im not seeing a major drop in value so is it just all the added miners fighting for new blocks and only that? If nicehash wasnt so easy to get started they wouldnt never be mining, but neither would I

Why would you rack them up close to each other when you've got all that space? Does he think he's going to expand his operation into filling an entire 1500sqf warehouse with loving server racks?

Why did he even rent such a big place?

Just... I can't even.

how many $110 1060 6GBs are we looking at in a few months

I dont even know what to do with cheap 1060s. I already have this gaming computer. I dont need as much as a 1060 to stream steam stuff if i was going to make a pc to connect to a tv

I thought Best Buy doesn't allow returns on open GPUs?

Is it normal to wait for days for a deposit from nicehash to show on coinbase? I have my first deposit from the 27th showing as completed and verified in the transaction history but my balance remains 0, which goes against coinbase's self-help that any verified deposits are available quickly after verification.

Nice hash isn't mining blocks, it's selling mining power.

Completed selling my 1070 for $435 before eBay fees and shipping, I bought it for 300 flat a little over a month ago. 1080 ti is something I never would have justified anyway. Getting close to 70 dollars coin profit, can too!

why stop at 2?

Fauxtool posted:

Can you find where it says that? I can only find info supporting a limited window to register. but that is for a limited lifetime warranty. It would be nice to see in writing where they say its okay to RMA a 2nd hand card. ASUS, Gigabyte and MSI explicitly say the warranty is attached to the serial not the buyer.

My info is from the "EVGA Graphics Cards Warranty Terms" which confusingly lists several PSUs like it was pasted from those warranties.
There is a separate page for the PSU warranties with different terms

The bubble is almost comically large now; at what point do you bail? I mean I've only got burrito tier money in there, but I wanna maximize my burrito purchasing power.

Nicehash conveniently missed a payout on Tuesday for me when I had .017+ and now the price is *fart noise* is there somebody I can complain to? Like an agency of some kind that handles discrepancies and manages issues???? what are those called
