What's a good way to sell my R9 290?

[hotter-than-Vishera]

Like the question says, where when and how can I sell my R9 290? This summer I plan on upgrading. Not that I'm particularly bothered by the high power consumption and heat generation of my 290, but I want something more powerful. I hope to buy either the R9 390X or GTX 980 Ti - or, if I can't afford either, a GTX 980 will still be a nice upgrade for my system. To help augment this purchase, I'd like to sell my old 290. The thing is, I don't know where to sell it. I've been thinking about selling it for $150, making it a quick sell, but I wonder if I could push higher.

Before you continue reading - this is not a classified advertisement or any sort of offer to sell my card. My card is not currently for sale; I simply want some advice for people who have done this or know how to do this so that I will know what to do when I proceed to sell my card.

The model is a Club3D R9 290 "Royal Ace". It's actually quite competitive, I'm surprise you don't see more of them here in the States. Chipset clock is 1040MHz, 10MHz faster than the Vapor-X. Effective memory clock does trail a bit behind the Vapor-X at 5400MHz vs 5600MHz, but still better than reference version's 5200MHz. It does of course come with 4GB of VRAM. It's a triple-fan design with a black and red shroud, and a cool backplate with a club (as in the playing cards suite) engraved onto the back with the printed motto "Play Your Cards Right". The manufacturer's product page can be found here: http://www.club-3d.com/index.php/products/reader.en/product/radeon-r9-290-royalace.html

The card's in good condition, it doesn't make any noise or anything. I have not overclocked it. I have been using it since late September 2014. I have all of the original packaging, including the electrostatic discharge bag it was packed in, but the CD that came with the card had bad, obsolete drivers. I don't think I should include it when I ship the GPU.

Your thoughts?

Ebay is what comes to mind.

many forums (i.e OCN ... overclock.net) have a for sale area.... you need to be an established member to use them which usually requires a minimum number of posts

You are certainly welcome to use the Classified section of our forums to sell it. Just make sure to read and abide by the rules found in the sticky at the top of the forum.

Alright, so that settles the where, sort of. My dad tells me to sell on eBay you have to go through some sort of lengthy process, although I haven't looked into it myself. I guess selling it here on Tom's Hardware would be pretty simple since I've already graced the forums with my presence for some time.

So what about a good price point? I have no idea how easily I could sell the card for $150, or if I could get rid of it for anything more than that.

Those are still selling new on Amazon for $299.00

And your can sell through Amazon as well. There is a button for that over on the right side below the buy/ship/gift box.

The card has been used for roughly 9 months. I would think it would sell in the original box with manual and all the goodies it came with for probably $250. I would think someone would be willing to buy it for $50 less than a new one. If you wanted to move it quick, I would think $200 would do the trick. If you do not have the original box and manuals, I would think the price might come down an additional $50 to $75 on the prices I listed here.
