Very cool. I can see this website taking off, and hopefully one day including processors.

My 7800GT is so old tech, it ain't even worth selling, lol.

Give it a try. There are many people still using onboard graphics or mediocre cards like a 7200gs. Dont be 'one of those people' that lists it for $100 or some price where buying a new one would be more logical.

Yeah, give it a go! What do you have to lose? When I get my old card back from my friend, I'm going to put it up on here.

That's my point. It's clearly worth less than $100, yet when I bought it new it was around $350 IIRC. Makes more sense to hold onto it and use it as a backup I would think. We will see. 🙂

That's how all computer tech kinda works... A 2500$ machine from twenty years ago is not going to be worth even 250$ now.

Ummm...I checked the site out and the one card that is on sale is a bit odd...The description says 8800GTS but all the pics are of a 7950GT. What's going on??

Hmm, the site creator seems to have given himself positive feedback. I realize that's just an example, but I wonder if there're mechanisms in place to prevent real users from opening "shill" accounts.

What if I don't want a vga? I use DVI... 🙂

Well, if you are a responsible buyer, hopefully you will look at their heatware or Ebay account feedback. That is a good question though. I'll find out about that for you.

From the website:

Such practices are not acceptable and they will lead to a prompt removal of the offender's account and perma-ban.

Once the user is deleted all of his active transactions also disappear unless the item is in a deal pending status already...

Also, as it is right now, users have a quota of 14 transactions per month. System counts every sale entry done by the user. It resets every month. This is done to prevent potential spamming.

Lastly, there is captcha that will limit registrations of spambots.

A

Also for people creating multiple accounts and trying to give themselves feedback:

It can be easily tracked in the admin tools. You basically flag those members that have different usernames originating from the same IP address.

My computer now is barely worth $250. I realize tech stuff goes down in value, but lately its been crazy.

Did you only look at picture books growing up?

Warning: This is just a sample listing that showcases the VGATrader.com engine. The card is actually not YET for sale.
