I have an old GeForce 8800 GTX card if anyone wants to give me any bitcoin for it. It's a monster, would cost a lot to ship. It's really heavy, like a large brick, with a large fan and heavy-duty cooling.
I've got an old computer that needs a new AGP card (the old one fried) so maybe I could do a straight trade.
I think this GeForce 8800 was barely used. I got it with another card, the guy just threw it in for nothing.

As shipping would cost you alot, you might just want to sell your card locally. As for the AGP card, I can do you a good price for 2.5 BTC shipped, what do you think? Their 40 bucks on eBay, and thats the ceapest Ive found. http://www.ebay.com/itm/D02-X0013-NEW-AGP-Video-Card-nVIDIA-GeForce-FX5700-FX-5700-256-MB-/271057192779?pt=PCC_Video_TV_Cards&hash=item3f1c44874bI have an old GeForce 8800 GTX card if anyone wants to give me any bitcoin for it.

How did you find them?
That's what I wanna know. Dumpster diving out back of a pc shop that had a cleanout? seriously they are old tech, the only use for them will be people with old pcs whose gfx card fails and they wont upgrade to a new system. If you want to get an idea of the real value, start an auction on ebay at $2 and see where it sells  The value is in what someone will pay for it, not what someone wants to get for it  and all us nerds who do family/friend tech support know someone like that, who just refuses to commit a few bucks to buying a new system. sigh. i've flat out told my friends and family that if it's more than 3yrs old, i ain't helping them with it. Especially my brother in law, who likes to THINK he's a techie, but is really just an idiot. |

NASA, up until recently, has been buying up old 386 hardware on the sly in order to maintian their legacy control computers, mostly in the shuttles. The reason that they were necessary was because the old & slow cpu's were much more tolerant to ionizing radiation making into the computer case, and thus did not require nearly as much shielding as a more recent cpu arch. For similar reasons, the USMC had 486 machines in hardened cases up until around 1995. These thing s are worth something to someone, if only a enterprise business in Africa. |
"The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank...sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."
- Carroll Quigley, CFR member, mentor to Bill Clinton, from 'Tragedy And Hope'

Here's an opinion on these cards from eight years ago:
the fx series of cards from nvidia had some issues with pixel shaders. the le is also the slow version of the 5700, 5700ultra. the fastest version, the 5700ultra is showing its age and i would say thr minimum card to upgrade to right now is the 6600gt(agp) on newegg.com
There was a guy able to sell two similar cards buy it now for $25 with free shipping, but it may take forever to dispose of them if you ask that much. I can get better freecycled AGP cards all day long, this is the kind of video card you will find in "free computer tower on curb" ads.

True, but bit-rot can and does occur on earth but around once per year. For clustered memory perhaps more. |

Hey I have really insanely good luck selling agp cards on craigslist. Just poke around until you find a want ad for agp card or somebody looking to upgrade their old system, then make them a really good offer like $5-10 per card. Seems like I sell 2/3 agp cards every couple weeks (and I never buy them) which isn't shabby.
