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?

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. (http://kenshelby.us/docs/pc-parts.htm)
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:

:eek: :O holy crap!!! that's just more proof there are some seriously stupid people on the retardnet.

I listed mine... lets see what it sells for..... come on big money :pray :lol

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.

I'll bid on it. Did you start at a dollar :D
Theres 2 starting at a dollar :D one has free battlefield.
-
Mine is the XXX version without Bf
http://www.ebay.com/itm/290802016736
-
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.

His first bid wasn't high enough. That why there is a delay between bids. I have been watching the bids closely. I'm at $183 but the high bidder with 0 feedback makes me nervous.. even though I've got several emails between us. He wants international shipping. who wants to bet he doesn't pay.
-
There is probably a reason why many people only ship to lower 48. Probabaly another reason people want verification with less then 3 bids I have seen. Some sellers have, if zero feedback don't bid.
Then if he pays with paypal and then comes back and says it broken after recieving it?
Look up tilldeath in the search, if I remember correct he has had problems. Paypal has taken money back or something. I am not exactly sure, but I remember him saying problems with getting ripped off..
I am not saying this will happen. Could be a honest person.

Yeah, that what I am worried about. I think as long as I cover all my bases and get tracking and delivery confirmations I should be OK. But I am also hoping someone else outbids them so I don't have to worry about it.

Almost over. If someone from AH gets it I'll throw in a free saitek throttle quadrant. http://www.google.com/shopping/product/3657085972183663152?hl=en&safe=off&gl=US&q=saitek+throttle+quadrant&oq=saitek+th&gs_l=mobile-gws-serp.1.0.0l5.4879.5956.0.8571.3.3.0.0.0.0.346.832.2-2j1.3.0.les;..0.0...1ac.1.tF8YeXHTyso&sa=X&ei=q_iTUPm9HfK30gG03oDYCQ&ved=0CCoQrQQ#hsec:overview

You can set ebay preferences to only sell in the US. Thats what I have mine set for, I dont do international sales at all
-
And this folks is why I will not give anyone with less than 5 feedback a chance ever again...
"Hiya! Sorry about that i actually completely forgot about this card. Unfortunately its not looking like I will be able to get it some things fell through and i had to buy the card retail and shipped over night. Sorry again. "
So now I get to open a dispute case through ebay to recover my listing fees and relist it all over again. :mad:
-
silver list it here and see if anybody wants it. other than that I would cap the price at something around 100 bucks. that is really the true value of it. anybody bidding more than that is just making sure somebody else's card is going for less.

-
for $100 I'll just keep it.
-
If time is on your side, try craigslist. Just a thought.

Heya semp,
I am just curious here... why do you think his XFX card's true value is really only $100.00 ?
.have you read this in an article somewhere recently or is this just your opinion/view ?

well I got it from a good source that a used card should be valued around 40% of what the lowest price it sold for. for example I once sold my mobo with an e8400 cpu and 4 gigs of ram. I sold it for 190 shipped. I had just paid almost 500 bucks a year before. the value of anything is not what you think it is, but what the seller is willing to pay. I had offered it for 250 plus shipping. a couple of guys offered me close to it but those deals fell thru. then the last deal I was offered 150 shipped. I counter offered for 190 shipped and it was accepted. I could probably have gotten more if I had waited. on the other hand I could have gotten zero for it. since I would rather get 190 than have it sit in my closet and it be worth nothing, i accepted the offer. I think i got a good deal and so did the buyer as he is an ah player and last I hear he is making good use of it.
the point is you can ask for anything you want, but the value of it is more what the seller is wiling to pay and you are willing to accept. if the card is worth more to you sitting in your closet then it's your call. if you are willing to accept less and use that money towards a better card then it's up to you to decide if it if a good deal.
I have 2 evga 465 I paid 280 for the first one and 120 shipped for the second one. on places like amazon they are worth from 150 to 280 dollars. the cards are no longer made. so in my opinion they are worth around 80 bucks each if I wanted to buy them as I can find better cards for 200 bucks that are brand new and faster than what I have.
the card that he is selling is no longer made. how much he's willing to sell it for is up to him. but to me I would rather get a decent price that it be worth nothing sitting in my closet. that is just my opinion.

Easy,
Because thats all he would pay for it. In reality its worth what silver gets if he decides to try and sell again. Personally I think its worth more.
