There is plenty of liquidity in the market. Most of my sells have happened within a few minutes. Those of you commenting on liquidity obviously haven't tried. One exchange has done over 1.1mBTC (~ $10m) in transactions in the past 30 days.
I just traded my GTX 460 for a 5830 and on the hunt for another. Unfortunately they're hard to come by down here for less than $300 USD.
You know anyone in the states that can buy one for you and send it down? That seems like the cheapest option I can think of, although it may take a few extra days.

Anyone seen anything that would suggest AMD actually trying to capitalize on this ...bitcoin thing?
No, but they should be. I would imagine their sales have skyrocketed in the past month. I mean look here, Overlord probably purchased half of the remaining stock of 5830s! At the bitcoin forums there was a picture of a guy that bought 10 6990s.
Right now the difficulty is high, If you want you can try BTC Guild. They charge less for using the pool.
Can anyone suggest a good place to sell Bitcoins, one that possibily uses paypal? I just sold a few coins and made over $200. I was going to buy more hardware but now it's going to take me a day or two to get that money.

I see that people are making money with this, but does anybody not see this is a giant pyramid scheme?
It absolutely is, but as long as I can recoup the 110 dollars I have put into it, which I absolutely will, I don't care. Wish I would have known about this a year ago. Its kind of like a pyramid scheme where everyone knows exactly when its going to fall apart. In a few months, I don't think anyone will be making massive profits mining bitcoins unless some very strong new cards come out from ATI.
Seems a little below normal. I've been getting around 1.2 BTC/day at least with a 6970, 5850, and 5770 running... which is only some 900MHash/s, your results shouldn't be so much lower.
Maybe just bad luck for that 8 hour period, it is a random process after all.
Got my new rig built though, soon moving up to the 1400MHash/sec range

What pool are you using?
I'm trying BTCGuild which seems even slower.
This is amazing, slush's pool went from around 940Ghash/sec to 1.2 Thash/sec over 24 hours. It looks like massive, MASSIVE capacity is being added by the second. Everyone and anyone with an AMD gpu is dogpiling onto this. The $99 5830s are definitely helping.
Probably won't take long until difficulty quadruples at the very least. Ah well, if I make a few bucks it's all good, if I don't it's also still good. I didn't go crazy with hardware like some. =)
As far as bad luck: yeah, slush had one over 2 hour hunt. If that's part of your 8 it definitely explains the poor results. More than compensated by the sub-5 minute finds though. It is very random, an 8 hour block is not indicative of long term results. I'm boiling along with 500Mhashes, looking like about .75 coins/day atm.

Go to deepbit.net and sign up. Then download guiminer and run it. Put in your deepbit login information on the guiminer application. Put "-v w128" in the
extra flags field without the quotes. Select Deepbit as the server and your 5850 as the device. Hit Start Mining. Profit!
I wonder what will happen when difficulty goes way up and every one with less than 1 or 2 GHps will call it quits and drops out...
That is only for 5xxx cards I think. I know it works with my 5850. It almost doubles my Mhash rate.
There will be a lot of 5830's on ebay and craigslist. Can't wait. Gonna try and pick up a 5850 for cheap so that I can crossfire it.

BTW deepbit is too big atm, please choose another solid pool if you are just starting out. When a pool server controls too large a percent of the processing power it gains the ability to cheat (not that I'm accusing deepbit of anything nefarious, just the ability).
