I put an old video card up there.. Albatron PC5300 GeForce PCX 5300 128MB

It is going to sell for 99 cents!

Anyone else had anything go for rock bottom on ebay?

Lemme hear your ebay losses!

Well, first off, unless you mistyped here and got it right on eBay, not many people are going to search for 5300.

Now, I'm not saying your wrong, the card might very well have been named 5300. Your auction would've done better if you'd thrown the model of the GPU core in there as well, like FX5200. FYI, nVidia never did a core numbered 5300.

I know when I'm searching for stuff like that, I always start off with the model, like FX5200 or 6800GT.

Yeah. It may have just been bad auction wording.

But I also have a Intel PRO/1000 F. Which is a Fiber network adapter. It is going to sell for less than $5.


I agree completely about the model numbers for the video card.

i wouldn't buy any used computer components like that off ebay. most people probably think the same way.
