I have an acquaintance (JoeSixpack type) who wants a really cheap video card. I have a Blaster Banshee (16 MB) which I used until last December. I'm thinking of getting rid of it. What do you guys advise - how much should I ask for (in CDN, mind you)? I still have the manual, original CD, drivers, including the updated version of Colorific, so basicaly it's been kept up to date (at least I tried)

Suggestions?

Thats about what your going to get. $20+ and the exchange. Take a look around at the auctions there are v3-2000 for 30-40 U.S. I'm pretty sure this is a better card than the Banshee.
On the other hand if JoeSixpack is non the wiser get what you can!

You can find new VooDoo3 2000's for $32 at pricewatch.com.

How much do you think a 3+ year old, used, budget video card is worth?

There must be something wrong with Canadian prices then.

Let me explain this:
Looking at various ads from computer stores in Ontario, they list the ATI 8MB for $59, the TNT Riva 16MB for $79, and a 4MB PCI OEM for $49. Even used!

Granted, this is not an absolute point of reference (they may be delusional), but I was thinking more along the lines of $50 myself...

I would not give you 5 bucks for the thing! But, I agree if JoeSixPack will give you $50 for it than by all means let him have it;)
