Uber HOT PNY Geforce ti4200 64mg AGP (poss 128mg) 79$ at BBY (Dead)

[zvadim]

Best Buy in Novi, MI
last one on the shelf, both shelf & card marked $169.99, but scanned at $79.99
Asked a sales guy about it, he confirmed the price, saying he just bought one today and that the word is getting around

Card is marked AGP8x 64mb, core 250mhz, memory 513mhz

Score
I went to BB store today and get the last one. The price is $79.99, with no rebate.
Then went go CompUSA and ask for the card. It is not on the shelf but someone went to the back and find it. No sticker or anything. Hope it is 128MB.
Then I PM it to BB, show them the receipt from BB and PM it without problems. Then return it to BB
So total cost $49.99 + tax (after rebate)
Right now, check to see if it is 128. Otherwise, 64 still good with that price

Just got one at bb for $79, it's a 64meg card although I knew it as they had 2 and both had the "crushes" sticker. For $79 it's a good upgrade for me froma a 32meg radeon card. This PNY card is still gettin a $100 on Ebay!

 

[NightSabre]

The best buy here has agreed to let me get one for 79.99 if I can bring in a copy of another BB's receipt. They have a whole shelf-load of the things without stickers. Could someone post a scan or send one to me, please? I'll owe you big time.

Sold out at my local BB but got them to mark an open box piece at $49.99. Turned out to be 64Mb, but what the heck. I'm happy and the card works great.

 

[FFactory0x]

lol. Hey when you leave yourself open. I swoop in for the kill. Sorry

 

[MrC4]

Just checked the Chico, CA BB and the card rang up as $169.99.

 

[nycdude]

The NYC stores are the worst stocked ever for all their stuff.

eg. How can a new dvd released today be rainchecked????

Go figure. Maybe I should move to CA or any other part of the US suburb where the deals can be had. Sorry for the rant.

Well damn BB all to hell! What's up with this...I'm running into the same thing...local BB says they have plenty of them, but not for $79.

You'll be lucky to get $100 selling one on eBay starting next week or so... I have a feeling a TON of these cards will suddenly be listed. Compound that with the imminent release of new cars from both ATI and NVidia...

Well, the Metro Center AZ BestBuy had 2 stickered boxes, I believe both are 8x64. CompUSA had nothin.

Just to confirm, if the sticker on the card says 8x64, is that for sure, or do I need to pop it in? They both have 8 chips on the front, which match my other 8x64.

 

[Uclagamer_99]

last time i checked...my best buy didn't even stock 4200s anymore...just those dumb MXs

 

[EDiT]

Funniest thing is CompUSA had the 64M GF3s on clearance for $199. I was pretty tempted....

 

[Rphman]

Didn't say I was selling it for $100, (other's are getting that now on Ebay) I meant I was happy eventhough it's a 64meg card, for $79 I think it's a good price. I'm not a big gamer and it's a good upgrade for me.

 

[Eddie33081]

Somone help a brotha out and sell me one. PM ME

 

[ChrisOjeda]

Did anyone checkout Best Buys in LA or Orange County?

 

[thatninja]

Thanks for all the help and insight into picking up this deal. I found 1 at the Florence KY BB and it was a 128...

Deals like this bring the lurkers out...thanks to for all the help from the forum veterans...

As far as I know the Best Buy store in Florence still has 2, the store in Eastgate in Cincinnati has 3, and the store in Western Hills in Cincinnati still has 4...

Every store had them marked at 79.99....everyone is just slow around here...

 

[poppagene]

I found one @ bb today with the sticker -- opened it up and it was the 128mg variety!!! :|

Yep shelves are empty in OC, this place is full of Fatwalleters and other cheap geeks

CC seem out too, and CUSA looks out also, maybe you can get a Frys to PM.

Sorry, it was a plural 'you,' referring to the tons of hawkers who horde and resell.

Not sure if it is working today, but I went to a Best Buy in Orange County (Costa Mesa) and orderd one online from Best Buy.com from one of the terminals they have in the store. I got it for th $79 price. For some reason if you order it from BB.com outside of their store, it is $169. Go into one of your local Best Buy stores and order it from one of their BB.com terminals and it will reflect the $79 after you add it to your cart.

According to BB.com, my card shipped out today! Woo hoo!

 

[MustangSVT]

do i dare try to pricematch @ scamusa? hmmm.. well i already got 128mb one so maybe ill just keep it ..

what are u guys overclocking this to? memory is ok @ 570 and core @ 300, i had to change the heatsink & fan, i guess stock one isnt good enough for overclocking

What are these in-store terminals? Does every BB have one? I don't recall seeing any at mine...

probably not every BB has them.
mine has them around tech department.
basically, it's where the so-called "tech personnel" answers your queston, and they have some terminals there you can use to find/order products.
