Is this card very overclockable?

i wish some one who is closely following the auctions on the graphics cards can post the closing prices of the visiontek, msi and robanton cards. i would hate to see fellow AT member competing amoing themselves and paying more for this card.

is gf3 ti200/500 auction a permanent thing? i see the auction everyday

 

[marcoco]

Yipes. the price has almost doubled.

Could it really be that AnandTechies are paying more for this than pricewatch just for the thrill of the fight?

btw pricewatch has gone down about $10 in the last couple weeks... and dropping...

Well you add 10-20,000 more eyes to those ubid auction.... there are gonna be some people who will pay more that 60 dollars ........ but they shouldn't !

The two auctions out there today for Robanton GeForce3 Ti200 are $103 and $105 Stupid :disgust: me was waiting for them to drop lower than $60 dohhh!!!

I've dealt with Ubid. They're OK. They will rape you on shipping and handling though. I remember it cost twice as much to ship my speakers as it did to buy them.

Just try and RETURN something if its damaged in shipment to you. I had a broken corner on my center channel Klipsh speaker and they intially said it was my problem and to talk to Klipsh for a replacement. Several calls later and after many arguements they finally gave in and cross shipped me a replacement. I swore I'd NEVER do business with them again!

I thought it was a no-no to post "in before the lock" posts?

 

[NICKel]

Man!! The auction I bid on ony had 15 cards in it and today there are 150 125 qty auctions and they are going for over 100.00 bucks looks like another dead deal. Shame because I was gonna get another for my pops..... Maybe they will drop after a few weeks?

Shipping is awful... but the packaging defied reasonable explanation.

They put the Athlon CPU retail boxes in Fed Ex pouches... by themselves. No bubblewrap, no peanuts... nada. Both of the CPUs arrived with crushed boxes... working but crushed. Certainly not marketable as "new" and sealed. :|

If I am paying $12.99 for shipping of a single item... it should at least be packed.

I bought 4 retail amd athlon cpu's from them once... they came packaged very nicely in a fairly large box and plenty of packing foam.... their shipping has been great for me

nice find...ubbid not the best but trustworthy

 

[trewqqwert2]

Wow! its like a ghost town for video cards and CPU's now that Ubid started new auctions with a huge minimum bid price.
Hope everyone got in on this early.
