that's a nice card, maybe 110-ish at the most, if I really wanted it, but I have the 9800pro version with 128mb, good enough for me already.

9800xt 256mb is expensive at e-tailers, over rated price, actually.

It's not worth more than $100.. it's worth $100 topps. I've seen X800XL's going for $150, which means the 9800 is worth nowhere near $120+.

I don't really need a 9800XT, though it is a bit better then the 9700 pro in my second gaming rig that I hardly ever use.
I'd probably pay about $75 ...

Can you please provide a link for an X800XL for $150? Preferably, AGP.

Were those AGP or PCIe?

Given that one can get a 7800GT (PCIe) for $300, I can see $150 for a PCIe card. I'm thinking (sadly) that AGP carries a premium these days.
