whats my video card worth? not sure what to ask for it

[Al010101]

i have a EVGA Geforce 7800GTX 512mb PCI-E video card, thinking about selling it, it came in an alienware computer i bought, but i don't know what it's worth, no 512's have sold on ebay or on here that i saw.... any ideas? 300ish?

If I were to buy it, I would probably give less than 200$ or maybe even around 150$+ provided it has atleast a yr of warranty.

If you keep in mind the fact that a 1900XT 256 and a 7900GTO brand new cost just about 250$+-, your being able to sell a previous generation second hand card will surely loose 75-100$ over them.

But, for 150$, it is steal.

uh used 256mb are bringing 150-240 on ebay....

Considering a 7900GTO is basically the same thing only with a better core, I'd say $200 is about right since if you ask for ~$250 people are just going to get the 7900GTO's for new.

I would have to price it above 7900GTs that are used and below X1900XTs, so I'm thinking it would be worth $250 if it were new and maybe $225 used if you never registered it so the new owner could still have a lifetime warranty. If you can get $300+ on eBay then take it, since that will be people who don't follow video cards too closely and remember when it was the best card out there.

I've seen prices for $279 for 256MB cards, never for a new pull like your 512mb.

You can offer it for $300+ on AT and see if you got any takers. Give yourself a chance to get value for your card. There's guys out there that want the extra memory and may pay you a decent price. You can only try. Don't sell yourself short. People will always try to get a better deal if you let them. Good selling.

Not to be an ass, but this is against the rules in FS/FT forum, and I believe it is against the rules in video as well...

No price or interest checks. (for those that want to bend the rules)

If you want to get a good idea of what your used stuff is worth look it up on ebay - you can even view the completed auctions... If you can't find it on ebay, price it a little but above what a 256MB version sells for...

Please don't start this trend in here... Video has plenty of annoying threads already without people 'shopping' their used crap in here.
