I am flirting with the idea of selling my 6950 2gb card as seen here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150549&Tpk=xfx%206950

What would be a fair price to ask? I am think $200 shipped? My plan is to upgrade to the 7970 3gb card.

What about the second warranty? Did you register this and get the lifetime warranty?

This should give you a idea what it is worth.

I use the same card.

hmm, i did not register it. But with that being so cheap I may just buy that and run them in crossfire instead.

Just FYI, ATI/AMD does not have a profile for Aces High, so cross fire will not be optimal at all.  You might only get about a 5% improvement in performance.

Since adding a second video card what I've noticed in-game is a bit less of a FPS drop when the video gets busy.  CrossFire did not make a huge difference on my rig.  

The recent versions of the AMD software include a way to create a CrossFire profile.  After a bit of experimentation, this is what I'm now using for my two 5850s:

the prices on amazon sometimes are ridiculous.  for example this is my video card.

http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Mini-HDMI-Lifetime-Warranty-01G-P3-1465-AR/dp/B003NVMDNU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1351474472&sr=8-1&keywords=evga+465

it sells for 250 and yet I paid 280 for mine about 2 years ago.  then I bought my second one for 120, it was re manufactured but it hasnt failed me.

you can get a better faster card for 250, so the asking price for the evga 465 is the sucker price.  even the used one at 160 is over priced as the video card is worth under 100 bucks.

semp

edit:  I found an even better one.  here's a used for 280.

Up to 89.00. The other one with battlefield was on there before or someone with more then one.

Starting out good.

Good Luck.

The other one is the same guy that sold the $300+ one. I'll bet the buyer backed out at that price. If you look at the bid history it was a buddy of his bidding it up.  I am hoping to get close to $200 for it. :pray

silver,  2 guys raised their own bids.  one raised his own bid 20 seconds after the first one from 92 to 106 then another increased from 106 to 175.  that doesnt make sense.  i dont think you are going to sell it any anywhere near 200 bucks, I hope you do but I kindda doubt it.
