Selling a graphics card.

Where would be my best bet?

It's a reference R9 290 from Gigabyte. It has hardly been used and is essentially brand new, but I don't have the original box for it.

How much could I get for this? I'm hoping to sell it or about £290 - £300.

You might look on eBay for similar items and see what their final price was.

You might want to emphasize that the card has not been used for mining.

Why not for mining?

It was bought with the intent of being used or my gaming PC.
I'm selling it because the aftermarket coolers for it are either expensive, or just down right crap (plus I don't want to risk it).

Like I said, it has barely been used and has just been sitting in my PC for the last 2-3 months.

Because a mining card gets used 24/7 for several months. People are in doubt whether the card will last much.
You wouldn't want a card that's been purchased for GBP 300 to fail in a month, would you?
I'm saying this as your card is a reference card.
Why not get an aftermarket cooler from Arctic? It'll cost around GBP 80-100, but it should give you a quieter and cooler card.
The card is still pretty powerful.

I don't have another £80+ to spend for a cooler. I've got to replace my PSU as it's highly possible mine is faulty (leaking earth).

It'd be a lot easier and cheaper for me to just sell mine and buy an aftermarket one.
Plus I don't want to change the cooler as I'd just screw it up and wreck the card.

Changing the PSU is more important.
Anyway, like I said, remember to mention it's not a mining card.

TehBurdishLemun · Apr 25, 2014

I'll make it perfectly clear that it was solely for gaming and has barely been used.

What about packaging though?
I don't have the original box for it (as I threw it out like the idiot I am).
