Ok so I currently have 2 Gigabyte G1 970s, but I'm looking to sell them and upgrade to a single Gigabyte G1 980 Ti, where would be the best place to sell these, and please don't reply with "You don't need it", I know I don't but I want it. Thank you.

keep your 970s LOL

im gonna assume that youre 970s will be fine for a while

but if you must, sell them on ebay or find a local retailer and see if they will buy them.

The best place to sell them is make HQ in my house and don't look for sellers. Then casually leave with the 970s still at my house.

All seriousness though Amazon or Ebay. Last resort Craigslist but be careful with that.

im gonna assume that youre 970s will be better than one 980ti if not just the same...

Doubt it, the 980Ti is actually a lower end Titan X and 2 970s is barely better than a normal 980

Craigslist is a good option, but make sure you meet up instead of shipping to avoid scams

If you want my attention, quote my post or I will not see it. I ignore builds that do not use PCPartPicker.

for a heck of alot more money

your not going to be able to sell your 970s for $300 your looking at $230 each thats $460 for both then you have to pay $100 to get a 980ti which will give you lower fps and then to get the second one thats $400 (because when the time comes it going to be used)

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

Many people I've talked to have never offered me below 300$ (although they are friends)
