value of 8800 GTX?

[ebeattie]

Hi all. well, I havent been here on the boards for a long time; bought a Harley Davidson Fatboy and.. well..... thats been taking all my free time up.

That said, I find myself no longer using my EVGA 8800 GTX. Actually never used it to its full potential. lol, about the most this card has seen is COD 2 on XP, with some C&C3 thrown in the mix.

She's for sale cause I really want to play NFL games on XBOX 360 and having just played madden 08 for the PC at a friends house....YUCK. Even my 8800 couldnt make that thing look good.

I have no idea what an honest value is for it! Its used, but not abused at all, never overclocked. Im thinking about selling at $450. Given that new still runs for$525 on the egg, I think 450 is fair.

this is NOT an ad, just need to get opinions on its worth. TIA for opinions.

The price beats all that I have seen on newegg; however, competition might come from places like buy.com and other thrift places.

The longer you wait the more people will hold out for the next generation and expect a used - albeit slightly used - card to go for $350 - $400.

Now is the perfect time to sell it; then, if you decide you want the option to play DX10 games with gusto for 2 years plus, you can use the sale to upgrade without digging deeper in to your pockets.

Or profit from a highly overpriced card...
