I have a question. How do you know it works. The reason I ask is I read your posts in this thread:
http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,298067.0.html
The other comment I'd like to make is that is one hell of a mark up. :D

cause i bench tested it on another machine. i don't buy used equipment without testing it first. how you know anything in this classified section works?
why is it a mark up? TD just sold a regular GTX 260 for 115 and you had to pay for shipping with his. this model has a faster clock and 24 more processors. its fair market value.
I'd rather keep it to be honest but i would have to purchase a new case move everything over its just to much of a pain in the arse.
-
It is a markup. You paid $40.00 for it. If you sell it for your asking price, that's an $85.00 profit. To put it another way that is a 68% margin. That is a killer profit margin.
-
well its a big profit for me. yes. a mark up from what its worth .. no
-
If TD's evga is new, it will have a lifetime warranty. Yours has a limited lifetime warranty columbus. Its limited to no warranty for a lifetime. Sorry just sayin.
As for the mark up, people buy and sell stuff all the time.
Good Luck

^ BFG is getting out of the graphic card business. No matter which way you slice it there is no warranty.
You are correct people buy and resell stuff all the time, myself included. 68% is still a hell of a profit.
-
i mean the person could have ask me for 100.00 and i would have given it, he said he only wanted 40.00 and i tested and it worked so it was worth it to me. spending another 100.00 on a case was not in the picture and i dont think my 500 watt power supply would do it justice either . even though my total investment to get the card able to be keepale would have equaled the retail value of a new card. its not worth the hassle to me.
-
video card is no longer available i was able to modify my hard drive holder to make room for the card. it fits now! working like a champ :)

I did not sell mine yet. But you are correct anything BFG has NO WARRANTY. They are out of business as and no warranty's are being honored.
-
oh i thought you had. my mistake. i am not much of a warranty person myself but what i paid for it i really dont need one

And the rumors that NVidia was going to honor BFGTech warranties for even a short period of time appears to be unfounded, based upon my experience with a bad board. (The group that was supposedly doing that is unreachable, and doesn't respond to voicemail messages.)
Knowing that BFG's hand was forced, and that NVidia isn't picking up the slack leaves me a bit p'oed at NVidia.
And while this is a community swap-shop and not EBay, I do think a poster should have the right to set his or her own asking price, regardless of what anyone knows about what they got it for or what anyone else thinks is "fair" - but I also think that because this is a community swap-shop and not an EBay, the community has the right to comment on what they deem to be an unfair price being presented to the community.
But either way, I do think that too many headaches over stuff like the above is probably what Skuzzy was referring to, and would be likely to lose us the use of the forum... so I'd urge everyone to use restraint.

Another day in the life of TheZohan and his childish antics. You can change your name, but you cannot shake off the ineptness.

I think you missed the point completely. The lifetime warranty might have helped to justify your asking price for the card. The discussion about it was not to inform you about the warrantiability of the card for your own reasons. Throw in the fact that the company no longer honors its warranties (for obvious reasons) this become a moot point.
Whether or not the price you ask is fair is also not what is being debated, it's the way you come across yourself. In one thread, you're bragging about how cheap you got the card ($40). In another thread, you're asking $125 for it, claiming the reasons for you selling it (and making $85 off of the deal) is because the card won't work with your system as-is, and because it would be too much of a pain to modify it to make it work.
I'm sorry, but that just sounds sheisty to me. Kind of like a guy trying to sell a car on craigslist 'cheap' and claiming that all it needs to run is a $4 part that takes ten minutes to put in. "I'm selling it at this awesome deal because I don't want to spend ten minutes and $4 to fix it!" you know really means "it needs thousands of dollars worth of work but I'm looking for a sucker to take it off of my hands".
And in your case, it's not even that great of a deal!
Basically, when people want to get rid of something the sake of convenience, they typically don't try to make a lot of money off of the deal. When someone DOES want to sell something to make a decent profit, they usually don't go bragging about how cheap they bought it for in the first place. You somehow managed to fail with both scenarios.
Of course we're going to flame you!
Regardless, I'm happy you got it working for you... just take this as a life lesson learned and move on...

125.00 for the card including shipping isn't a bad price at all, wiether i paid 5.00 or 40.00 is reguardless. the card itself goes for 200-300 dollars. its the 212 core version not the standard 192 core GTX 260. so while i may have been making 85.00 minus the cost of shipping on it. the person buying is was gonna saving 85.00 + plus getting free shipping. granted the warranty thing sucks but there was no warranty implied to start with.
-
If you want to sell something used, for what you paid for it, plus what it costs you to ship it someplace. That would be honest and fair dealing.
Trying to sell something that you paid 40$ and getting 120$ for is neither honest nor fair.
And you might as well give up and start yourself a new user name. Because at this point I doubt anyone would buy anything from you.
Next time just be happy to get your 40$ back and quit trying to rip off fellow AH players.
BTW either you are as someone mentioned Zohan, or your his evil twin, really doesn't matter which.
-
rip off ?? how do you rip off someone selling a 200-300 card for 125??? reguardless of what i paid for it.
i don't need to explain myself to anyone. its all a mute point cause i am keeping the card.
if i bought a 10,000 card for say 2,000 and sold it for 5,000 would i be ripping anyone off? i highly doubt it.
the card is well worth 125.00 you cannot argue that fact? no other point needs to made unless you can make claim the card isn't worth that.
either you want it and pay for or you pass, thats how business and people make money they sale things at a profit.
now if i had sold it for retail value then you might have a valid arguement.

If you do not like the price of something being sold, then move along. This forum is for selling. It is not a dicsussion forum on how much anyone would make or not make on the sale.
