Topic: I found a case full of graphic cards, check this out! (Read 4311 times)
Just a tad outdated.
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.
Its a joke dude 
I'm sure the cards are older then bitcoin it selfs so mining what exactly ?
Someone must have spent alot of money on these at the time they were good for mining.

How did you find them?
That's what I wanna know. 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.
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.

could be gold in those. you might want to check on the recycling value.
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.

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.

Interesting, my report is from the port of Tacoma, goes directly on the boat to China.
They make you strip the steel header plates off to get that?

I'm only getting $2.80 per pound for #1 board down at the port...who is paying $4.10??
ok I up my offer to one whole coin

4.10 @ 1800lbs to Buffalo NY to a smelter. I'm missing a middleman or two probably.

small flat rate is 5 bux, so less than .5BTC
I am offering a bit over a dollar a card for essentially landfill

Now now, boards like that go for about $4.10/lb if you recycle them. The landfill processing center wouldn't let those fall into the actual fill.
Remember when looking to value via ebay to always look at 'completed listings'. Look at what people paid for them, not what people are asking.

You could build them up into a Ghetto Render Farm for use at a Highschool or something?
They are very old cards and they are AGP. Since they are so old, and since probably buying them today is not easy, probably you can sell them for a nice profit, maybe someone has a old computer and need it
Sick find. If it were me, I'd try to find an office or school or something with old machines, stick the cards in those machines, and sell the machines. I once had a library give me a dozen old pentium II 400mhz boxes, all I had to do was haul them off and they were free. Nice find.
