I need to find a 58xx used or new at no more than $280 or $380 respectively. Where can i find this

 

[snow cakes]

check the forsale part of the forums, someone is actually selling a Sapphire 5870 for $400

 

[Ihatethedukes]

FYI, used 5870s are going for the same/slightly higher than retail.

 

[gymenii]

Ebay - 5850's

Diamond Multimedia 5850PE51G

Powercolor AX5850

HIS H585F

Ebay - 5870

ATI HD 5870

Or wait for an open box at Newegg. Honestly, you won't find any retailer or e-tailer selling new cards any where close to 280/380 for quite some time.

Good luck, what you're asking is close to impossible atm. If you're set on that price I'd wait for a couple months.

Newegg have the Sapphire 5850 1GB in stock right now for $308, you might wanna take a look at that

Thanks guys, Newegg is out of the question though, California tax is outrageous.

Those ebay auctions will probably end up going higher as the auction nears its close. Other than that I guess I will have to wait. I'll let all the impatient people get their cards first, and I'll wait for price drops to something more reasonable

yea u are going to have to wait; like someone else said, people are making a profit off of these

what ever happened to that 975 es?

I updated the thread, but basically I didn't pick it up cuz it was an ES and the guy seemed very shady

At 8.25%, California has the highest state sales tax, which can total up to 10.75% with local sales tax included.

I'm selling my 5850 shame your not in the uk

 

[Futan]

Yeah, America has cheap taxes compared to the rest of the world. VAT can get up to 25% in some countries in Europe.

OP, not much I can tell you except what you already know, keep an eye on the sticky here and the For Sale section.

I really chose the wrong time to sell my 5870. Sold it on eBay about a month ago for $380 (shipped). Looking at auctions now with Christmas approaching, they are going for $450++. Stupid me.

 

[thr33niL]

Check that. Look at the completed listings on eBay. A plain-jane 5870 sometimes sells for $550+. That definitely deserves an [OMG!!].

If I would have known that the 5870s would be in such short supply, I most definitely would have waited for Christmas to sell mine. Damn. I figured Newegg would be busting at the seams with them on the second or third stock run.
