Are AGP Video Cards Worth Anything?

Got a couple AGP video cards laying around; one is a pretty good ATI All In Wonder with video capture and TV tuner. I think one is a basic ATI 9800 or something like that.
They worth anything?

If you have a higher end one it may be. Yours may be worth a little because it's an AIW card. I'd check on ebay and see.
 
I've been thinking about it. I've got a 6800vanilla and 7800GS both AGP just sitting in the closet. Wouldn't mind making some money off them.
 
Over the years I have owned four AGP cards as follows:

Radeon 64MB VIVO retail
Radeon 8500 retail
Radeon 9700 pro retail
Radeon AIW X800 XL OEM

The 8500 is the only card I no longer have in my possession.
I used to always sell my components in order to finance upgrades, but I seem to have
become something of a pack rat in my old age.
 
I have a great condition 6600 256gb just sitting in my closet. I pulled it out of one of my comps that never gets used. it will probably cost me almost as much in shipping as its worth though.
 
the older 5,6,7 agp geforce series seem to go for quite a bit on ebay still. The holy grail seems to be Mac compatible cards though I'm seeing a 7800 gs that went for 299.99.

yeah I knew having more than 128mb on a card that slow didnt really help. I bought it on sale locally so it was cheaper than the 128mb model that Compusa had. wow that was a long time ago too because I had just played the demo for Far Cry.

not really. because the user that needs them doesn't want to pay much. the performance certainly doesn't justify it either. and tv tuner,unless its hd its already totally obsolete from the digital transition. ask too much and the buyer is better off waiting to just upgrade that obsolete system. you can onlyhope for a sucker buyer. cuz pci e 50-100 dollars gets a card that simply slaughters most agp cards. nevermind a 6600gt which is basically equivalent of igp these days, cept it sucks power greedily
 
A voodoo 5 5500 agp card- supposedly still brand new and in the box, sold for 406.00 on ebay last week. They are apparently collectors items now. Mine is on there right now so I'll report back after the auction is over.
 
I have an old computer. An Intel D865 motherboard with 1GB DDR2 RAM. Would 9800 work on my system? I currently have an FX 5200 installed.

It is an old system which is normally used just for internet purposes (no gaming). Would it serve my need of movies and internet?

Welcome to AT!

Yes, 9800 is better than FX 5200.
 
The reason I ask is that these cards are just sitting in my storage unit; even if I made a few bucks and somebody got a good video card for an older computer would be better than them sitting there doing nothing.
The AIW card is a good card; I probably paid $250 for it. It can capture TV shows; probably could make a cheap TIVO-type rig with it.
I'm going to have to see what I have and check out Ebay.
