With the LTC Gold Rush going in I listed my 7970 on eBay for $415 starting bid.

Should I lower it? Are my expectations too high?

this card goes for around 260€ NEW in germany so i don't think anyone would consider bidding that high

Is it better to mine with a 7970 than a 280x is that why people would pay that much for one.

2500k 4.0ghz,GTX 1070 oc,MSI Z77A-GD55,G.SKILL Ripjaws(4 x 2GB)DDR3 1333,OCZ Arc 100 240gb,Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB,Corsair TX 750w v1,CoolerMaster HAF 912,Hyper 212 EVO

i guess it doesntmatter u proved my point anyways. why would someone pay more for a used 7970 when they can get a r9 280x for cheaper brand new? it doesnt make sense

It might just be Newegg but it looks like all (or most) of the 280Xs are sold out
