Selling PC components

[Gregg]

Now the 8800gt is out I'm thinking about selling my 8800gts and possible sli'ing the gt. Apart from ebay (last resort) where can I sell my 'old' card online? I'm guessing there must be some dedicated websites for this?

 

[Griff]

OCUK Members Market but I doubt you have access.

PS - I'd sell it asap as you'll get nothing for it this time next week.

 

[Gregg]

Yeah I know

Only had the gts a few months too

 

[seb]

is the 8800gt 'better' than the 8800gts then? this all confuses me tbh.

 

[Gregg]

The gt is nearly as good as the gtx in tests (at least at low-ish resolutions).

Wanna buy my gts??

It is Seb but I wouldnt worry your pretty little head. Your GTS is MORE than adequate for what you do with it boyo

 

[seb]

lol it does max out on simctiy 4 lol

 

[ben_p]

what gts is it?

 

[RSi Dave]

ebay?

Had my gts for about 8 months now, cant see me upgrading yet but these GT's do look promosing for the money.

 

[Gregg]

what gts is it?

OcUK 320mb. It's a really good card but got my heart set on sli'd gt now.

 

[Andy]

What kind of price are we talking....

 

[Gareth]

I've got a 768MB GTX cost me a fortune.

 

[Gregg]

What kind of price are we talking....

£150 +postage, cost me 200 a couple of months ago

 

[_Kenny_]

I'll wait til next week

Stick it on Ebay and hope some mug buys it mate.

With the newer/superior GT costing the same there's no way you'll get £150 from any rational person.

 

[Rasclart]

lol it does max out on simctiy 4 lol

LOL Amen

 

[Gregg]

^^ The gt is ~£180 but i see your point

[Omid]

sorry to hijack but anyone got any cheaper pci-e cards like 7600/8600/6800??

 

[Gregg]

What you want sir is a nearly new 8800gts

.Griff. think that's excluding vat

£124.99 ex VAT, £146.86 inc VAT mate...

Not what you wanted to hear I know mate but hence the reason a lot of people are off loading their GTS' asap.

You can always try www.facebook.com/marketplace

Alot of people look at that site.

 

[Gregg]

Ah yes, i see it now the 256mb version.

May just ride it out and see what the new 9series cards are like in the spring

 

[Tom H]

If you come down to a resonable price i may be intrested, but im not paying over the odds for something that give it 2 months and their will be a price crash on...

 

[Gregg]

What's reasonable lol!?

 

[Tom H]

Which one have you got? Brand and model ?

 

[Gregg]

OcUK (unbranded but same as other models) 320mb version.

I'm thinking of keeping it now and waiting for the 9thou series cards in the spring (i think), just a bit pissed off that the first time I've upgraded in years and I upgrade too soon!
