aTI Trade Program

[KGB1]

Seems aTI is offering the trade in deal, send in your old vga cards and get new 9800 Pro for $249

Text Pretty good deal, I've been looking for the last AGP card upgrade. I heard some where before that aTI had stopped the service. Good to see it's back

 

[Schadenfroh]

lets see

ALL-IN-WONDER 9800 PRO 128MB AGP
$349.00 USD
RADEON 9800 PRO 128MB AGP
$249.00 USD

hmm, for $50 less i can get the same 9800 pro from crapusa or newegg and still get to keep my old card, hmm, same goes for the AIW and oh! i dont have to pay for the shipping to send my old card either!

 

[kylebisme]

actually "crapusa" is going to cost you 300$, but you can get a retail ati shiped free from newegg for 270$. considering you have to pay shiping on both cards with ati, newegg probably comes out cheaper and you get to keep your old card.

 

[newb54]

Yeah once you factor in shipping it is not worth it. I got my 9800 Pro for $239 from microcenter last christmas, I am not sure if they are still selling them at that price.

 

[KGB1]

But that $215 is like for a Saphire or other brands (yes I know some are made by aTi) but I'd rather get a real aTI Retail 9800Pro and send in my 1 MB Diamond PCI card

No so bad afterall bad (Plus they send the new card before you send in the old one )

so you would rather spend another $35 and get the exact same product? strange...

EDIT: they changed the price for $249 to $199

now its a good deal

I think you will just end up paying more money if you buy direct from ATI.

Try here

Sapphire makes BBATI cards by the way. Only difference is you get only a 1 year warranty with the Sapphire as opposed to a 3 year ATI.
Go figure.

Hope this helps.

so why not go to neweeg and pay 270$ shiped for a real retail ati which is cheaper than the trade in program's 250$ + shipping two cards?

that clears up everything

 

[NYHoustonman]

For $199 it ain't half bad...

 

[kylebisme]

too bad its not 199$ then eh?

 

[videoclone]

Newegg has 9800 Pro's for $208 !!!

 

[Conky]

This seems like a very hot deal. I send them a dust-covered 2mb Trident videocard and they send me a 9800Pro for $199.99 plus $15 shipping.

I would go for it but I went for the CompUSA deal(thru BB with a pricematch) at $199 already.

 

[kylebisme]

oh wow it is down to 199$ with trade in now, that is a hell of a nice deal for a retail ati 9800pro.

 

[alocurto]

So whats the final verdict? I want to get one of these cards. People are selling them used for 200, I can get one from ATI for 200 +all the shipping jazz and I can get one from new egg for 228. hmmm.... seems like newegg wins. Agreed?
