Hey guys. I bought Gigabyte R9 280x 3 months ago for 280€. Today I found on local "ebay style website" few people who sell 4 months old R9 280x Dual-x and Asus DCU2T R9 280x graphic cards for 170€ (asus' one is for 190€)
Should I sell mine and get one of those instead? what do you think?
I was also thinking about selling mine and getting r9 290 instead.
 
Solution
I would definitely buy the R9 290. Personally I don't know why you would want to sell yours and get the same card from another manufacturer, even if it is slightly better.
The R9 290 is one of the most price efficient graphics cards right now so it definitely is worth it.
I purchased the Sapphire R9 290 Tri X OC a couple of days ago and have been very happy with it. I've done a lot of research and the Sapphire Tri X seems to be the best R9 290 with the MSI Twin Frozr being a close second. The Sapphire one is the coolest card but slightly louder than the MSI one so you have to pick between temperature and noise.

Basically, I would sell it just to get that extra money from selling mine and buying cheaper one :D There's no other reason behind it, than that.
I can get r9 290 for 280€ right now, so I think I will go for this one.
