    They should go for £80-100 depending on the condition and stuff included with them

    So £72 for a Leadtek 6800GT (256Mb AGP) in good condition would be a good price then!

    yea.. leadtek ones are presumably the best 6800GTs around thanks to its quiet dual slot full copper cooler..

    For some reason I tend to feel that they're binned better too.. as mine hit 450MHz/1200MHz without a hitch..

    well, the Leadtek I was looking at actually went for £90 in the end - some sniping going on I think...so 80 to 100 quid sounds about right.

    I'm going to replace to 6600GT with the 6800GT ya see, which may seem a little mad, but if I can get a 2nd hand 6800GT at a good price, and sell my 6600GT it should be worth it.
    The 6600GT I have has 128Mb RAM and I've really noticed how much difference it makes compared to having 256Mb (my last card had 256Mb, and while slower - it was a Radeon 9600XT, it didn't suffer from texture loading issues because of the RAM).

    I'm only sorry that my leadtek 6800gt is PCIe, or I'd have considered selling

    Shame..!

    Most 6800s are going for 90/100 quid, but I could kick myself, as I missed one on Ebay the other day that when for 72 quid! I'm just hoping that patience will be a virtue in this case..

    You actually missed mine not 2 1/2 months back.. If you were looking for one then I would have gladly done a deed for you since I've bought your 9600XT a while back..

    But if you could find an A400GT for £90 I would go for it.. Still the best mid-range AGP card around.. and potentially high end when you consider that they can do Ultra very easily..

    I sold mine last month for £105 A400, only to find that between leaving my machine and being installed into the new guys machine it failed

    I returned it to the etailer and they replaced it with a BFG 6800GS, which thankfully the buyer accepted graciously

    Hey Sawyen - I appreciate the thought! You really think the A400 is worth £90? You're probably right....My main concern is whether or not it will fit in my case - space is a little tight. Its possible that the plastic air duct that wraps around the card will stick out too much a "clash" with the Zalman fan bracket (for the Zalman flower cooler I have on my CPU). I think I can fix that though. The other problem is that the A400 cooler *may* be obstructed by the PC's RAM.... I'm prepared to take that risk though, cos I can always get a Arctic Cooling NV instead...

    So, what I'm seeing on Ebay in terms of make of 6800 GT 256Mb AGP cards are:

    Galaxy
    AOpen
    Asus
    BFG
    Nvidia
    Leadtek

    My preference order would be Leadtek, Asus, then any others....

    I would go for the Leadtek, or the cool blue LED version from Asus (just for the looks)

    But I'm a shallow chimp.. pay no attention to me..
