    Price Check: BFG 8800GTS 512mb OC

    I have replaced this card and gone CrossFire So she has to go.

    Whats it worth? They are around £155 new (cheapest i could find) and has the lifetime warranty enabled.
    8 months old and perfect condition. Also fully boxed. (if that makes a difference).

    Re: Price Check: BFG 8800GTS 512mb OC

    Its worth about £110 I reckon... Not as much as the 9800gtx's that you will be purchasing for everyone soon

    isnt the warranty non-transferable or something?

    Didn't you sell your PC?

    Anyway, I think £100 -£110 might see it sold but the HD4850 being the price it is will put a lot of people in the know off.. Fleabay

    Re: Price Check: BFG 8800GTS 512mb OC

    i would say about £20 ill paypal if you like, tbh with the current cards out at the moment i would say you be lucky getting near £100 unless you sell to someone with their hat over their eyes

    I have a 640MB GTS I would feel lucky if I got £60 I would say ask about £75 or lower

    you can get a new 9800GTX for about £125 now and also you have to consider the price of the 4850's

    Fair enough, try £110 but unless someone is itching for SLi I don't think it will sell here £100 might get it sold but chances are you will have to take less.

    Generally agree with the above, about £100 or less.

    Re: Price Check: BFG 8800GTS 512mb OC

    It'll do for my daughters PC then.
    Still runs everything i have thrown at it (except Crysis) maxxed out.
    I have a 640MB GTS I would feel lucky if I got £60 I would say ask about £75 or lower
    I doubt if a 640mb would go for £60 if mine is only worth £75. This 512mb is more powerful

    Re: Price Check: BFG 8800GTS 512mb OC

    a 640mb gts went for £72 inc. p&p on the for sale forum..... i've just sold mine as well for £60 inc. p&p, i lowered my price because my dad threw away the box etc without me knowing, so i only had the drivers and manual.

    Ye mine went for £72 (my name.......ohh spooky) so yours must be worth about £90-95 providing you have all the bits and pieces.

    Get rid of it Blitzen, before it falls even more in value. Maybe you could part exchange it for the 9800gtx that you need to buy now

    I wouldnt waste the cash ...... Thats more of a white elephant than what i have already
    I might have a car boot sale next weekend. I will sell that GTX along with my GTS there for you if you like


    BTW...as i said in the OP.....i have just gone CrossFire.
    This X38 was being wasted so i shelled the cash.
