Sell with that problem and specify in the description or just keep the graphic card?

If you intend on selling it, there's no real need to mention. Even if you were buying brand new, there would be a chance for whine.

 

Besides, it depends on what you do with it. For example, mine has whine on 1 specific app that very few people use, so I'd expect a buyer to never notice that.

Coil wine is not a "problem" per se unless it's obnoxiously loud.

Sometimes coil whine is caused by PSU's. You can go ahead and advertise, coil whine doesn't hurt the card but when you say it makes noise the buyer may not experience the same noise. It could be different. It could be completely gone.

Don't use it, then. No noise with no usage Kappa

That is kinda like the silicon lottery. Except the odds are stacked against you. Both my Radeon HD 7970's produced coil whine, Currently both my R9 290X's produce coil whine (This is across two different PSU's). However they only make noise when under load, at idle or in a browser they're silent...unlike my PSU which produces coil whine all the time T_T...a Corsair AX1200i and it has mad coil whine. Sometimes it's quiet sometimes it's outrageously loud, thankfully my headphones drown out the buzzing sound very well.
