How much should I be looking to sell this for "this" being the gtx 970. I am hoping to sell it to a friend but I don't want to rip him off and I don't want to make it seem like I am giving it away, I also would like an upgrade to maybe a 1070? because I want to get a 144hz monitor for 1080p and I hope it is enough.

Pics? What condition is it in? Of the top of my head, I'd say about $225 USD is a fair price, but I haven't seen the card.

The card has been used for a little under 2 years for only gaming, and the card has no visual damage and is for whatever reason unlabeled.I think it is an asus?

A picture may help specify the exact card - it could be one of about 8 cards.

As for pricing - The prices found on my local Craigslist (from lowest to highest) are 150,175,200,200,225,230,240,250,250,250. (Average of 217 USD). As per value, I'd say you should be able to get about 200 for it.

Pictures would help but if we're talking about a reference board based design then it's not really relevant. 

 

For a 'friend' price I'd put a reference based AIB card at around $125-175. Feel free to slide either way depending on how generous you want to be.

 

Depending on the card and mood of buyer's right now Ebay says these are worth $150-180. 

 

$225 is probably too much unless you have one of the really high overclocked AIB cards.
