    What's a EVGA 7800GT OEM worth now a days?

    Hey folks, quick question. I'll be getting a RMA card from EVGA soon for my 7800GT with a brand new lifetime warranty on it. I'm not sure what's a good asking price for selling it on our FS/T fourms. To not make this post seem like a FS thread, I guess I should also ask how are people...
