GeForce FX 5500 not needed

i had some problems with my monitor display, i was told to change the vga, so i got myself a nVidia inno3D GeForce FX 5500, but that wasn't the problem, turned out my power supply was messed and it was causing all kind of trouble in the system, i changed it and everything worked fine.
so i replaced the 5500 with my old vga because i thought it's not worth changing since i'm upgrading soon and had another vga in mind,

so anyone intrested in buying a GeForce FX 5500 256MB(128bit) with DVI, CRT and TV? brand new, baught it 3 days ago from a retailer for 93$ and selling it for 90, i wouldn't wanna lose alot since i was told it's quite less than the market price.

actually i did, they replied that they don't buy used parts, although mine is brand new, to them it's used, i can understand that.

that shouldn't be a problem, i have the box untouched, and the antistatic bag the vga came in.
anyways, i think it's a good deal, no? anyone knows how much it's being sold for in the market?

Re: GeForce FX 5500 not needed

well i would advise you to put it first on ewaseet or elmazad
pc and parts have one page where they advertise for used parts http://www.pcandparts.com/wantto.htm just send the an email
mean while if you want to take advantage of the card you can overclock it untill you sell or upgrade
if you want i have a tool that can help you overclock
i will ask my friends if they want it
next time post your hardware problems maybe  we could have helped you and avoid all of this

Re: GeForce FX 5500 not needed

you're not gonna be able to sell it .... buy a new phone from a store for $350 and step outside and try to sell it for $300 ... no one would buy it

one would figure... what the heck i'd pay a bit more and get it brand new that way i'll be sure it's good
