Value of GTS cards?

With the recent release of the 8800GT.....

What do you guys think is the fair market value on either of the GTS cards?

I was going to buy a GT but decided to wait to see the prices people were going to dump them at... Do these prices seem reasonable?

320MB - $150
640MB - $200
 
Someone sold one today for $300. You're about right on real value, but perceived value is what's important. Looking at it that way, you can get much more for them on ebay or craigslist, where less informed people will view them as having a higher value than they really do.

I wanted to buy one cheap on ebay because of all the upgrades, but they are all selling in the 250+ for the 320MB version... don't ask me why or who is the sucker who buys them...
 
I would say add around $50-70 to each of those prices. Yes, the GT is faster for the most part, but it is mainly because it is clocked so damn high compared to the GTS. I heard that clock for clock they are about the same performance. And until the GT can be had for less than $250 easily (they can be found for under but are sold out and backordered insanely), I'd say those are the prices you will be looking at.
 
I'm trying to sell mine for 200 euro's, which is about what a 8800gt 512mb should cost in Holland. Then I'm willing to add another 25-35$ to get a superclocked card, and the 512mb will make a difference too, for me at least, playing @ 1680*1050. If no one is willing to pay 200 euro's then I'll just have to suck it up and hang on to it 😛
 
$200 Euros, ouch. You guys are getting shafted over there 🙁

No wonder international people eat up my eBay auctions :laugh:
