so this is the time where it finally gets listed
Happy bidding all!

Good luck !

It's been some time since I haven't seen a v5 6000 on ebay, I wonder how high it will go, I expect 3000 USD, maybe even more.

Do you intend to sell other items from your collection or only this card ?

I will list the V 5000 PCI next and then probably the V5 6000 Rev 2600

the others, well its up to the price offer, if I think its too good to resist, I might consider. anyway I have always started out as a box collector.. so, i might forgo if the deal is good :-)

I would keep one 6000, I fear you are going to regret selling them, you are one of the first collectors, going way back to 2001. Why not keep them? If it's about money, there are plenty of other things to sell in your collection.  :)

Wow!  Already over $1000 and there's 9 days to go.   :o

That is.........I'm lost for words. Might this be the highest priced 6000 so far when auction ends?

I think I saw a bit from Gary there @ $666. Nothing like boosting up the price a bit for good old edmundoab.  ;D

It might not have been Gary though.

wow,over $1500 in less than two days.some crazy bidders out there.

nearing 1800 bucks already.

At this rate, I'd be very tempted too sell as well, if I had a 6000 and was in need of money.
If I didn't need the money and I would have one, I would never sell it.

That is definitely not Gary since Gary's nick at ebay is 2000lfd, which is disguised as d***l and he has (at the moment) 1052 points.

At the auction itself: at the moment the bid stands almost exactly at the price I got when I sold my V6k two years ago, I think it may break the 3000$-mark since at the moment prices of 3dfx-card are skyrocketing.

hmm,last 6k on ebay was from sfft,do you guys remember for how much was the winning bid?

the most expensive 6k i remember was 2020e,item no. 230260194710

The auction ended on 9/15/08 at 3:27PM CT for 802.99 GBP (~$1,500 at the time) [Item# = 230288632317]

Do remember that it had the internal power soldered on, and the fact that it was "cut short". (no extra pcb on the end)  Either way, the black hole got a good deal on that one.

Wow, is it that long ago? Wasn't Ravrx's card in between as well? I'm sure it was...

Maybe razrx, RaverX (me) never owned a V5 6k :(

razr_x won his card on 06/18/08 for 2,019.99 EUR. [Item# = 230260194710]

Wow,

That has actually been a long time. Can't believe that. It feels like only a little while ago.

No wonder there are many people bidding.

*searches through old topics* wow,I have just realized that I have mine for over 3 years already-I have won the auction at january the 1st 2007.talk about a date that is easy to remember ;D


time sure flies fast when you have a job-especially a time wasting one like the one I have..

I have not bid, but am watching the auction with interest.

I have not heard of that nick anywhere.

Zero bidder, hmmm let's hope he doesn't want to pay via money transfer and postage to Nigeria lol

It's gone! :o

Sorry, I just got notification from EBAY that this item has violated the sub details of "Not NVidia and ATi"

I have edited and relisted within 5 days auction

sorry for this issue

can you retract your bid? apparently there are 2 violations, I cannot link to my collection page, I need to cancel and relist

sorry about this

Okay, this should fix both violations on EBAY
I cannot put a link on my collection

GOsh, its getting harder to post things for advertisement these days

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300393220766

That's ridiculous, I can't believe eGay is so stupid.  >:(

That's really bad.

yeah and I wanted my auction to end on the weekend, now its all messed up

Best part is, they only cancel it like with 3 days to go
sabotage act? I don't know...

now all the bids are gone.., re starting again

Ed, for some reason the card doesn't come up anymore when searching from the UK!

Also, it doesn't come up in the prototype search anymore, nor when I go to ebay.de or ebay.com

I know the ebay system sometimes leaves out whole countries regions, even if under advanced search the correct options are ticked.

I would seriously check this with eBay.

I will email them about this.
As far as I know i have extended the ad into Ebay.uk

anyway have emailed them on this.
Will see what the outcome is. I know the visibility was edited only today. Not sure if it will take 24-48 hours to rectify it
hopefully tonight

Yeah, this is what happened to me also, with my V4 4500 PCI. Auction was not listed in ebay.de, although was for worldwide.

You know, sometimes, ebay system is slow. Probably Ed will need one or two days of adjustment, first auction will be listed in each countries

considering the shorter duration of this auction, hopefully it gets to all the watchers at least 24 hours before end time

okay it shows up now on ebay.co.uk

Thanks Tim, for the highlight.
and Goriath is right, they are superslow, takes them like almost 24 hours to update

Excellent, that's good. I was worried there for a second.

Let's hope it will get back up to the correct price (should do)

Wow! Thats amazing! I have to see what it gets up to. If I wasnt married I think Id have to get it myself.   ;)

Less than 2 days to go, price is still approx. EUR 1,100
i hope it can get to the 1,300 ~ 1,500 EUR range when auction ends

I have got no doubt about that happening. People are just waiting. :)

Even in the last 2 minutes the price will go up crazy high.

Okay, its finally down to the final 12 hours

up till now the stats are as such:

I have 1456 views | 79 watchers @ the price of USD $1,666.00 courtesy of Mr. Thandor's generous bid

No where close to the initial 10 day auction which picked up over 3000 views (with Obi's advertising help) and a whooping 126 watchers @ price of USD 1,775.00
Before it prematurely ended
I would have loved the old advertisement to stay...  :'(

Will be sleeping in bed for most of the final sessions of this auction due to time difference.  :P

I bet it will end at 2500 USD or above :)

Don't worry, these bids are all initial bids only. The real bidding will start minutes if not seconds before end time.

I'm sure it's going to fetch lots of money.

iam sure some will only watch it to see for how high it goes

down to the final hour

anyone asleep yet?
i know its over 12am in the morning on your side

except for UK :-)

It's a good end time for the Americas.... too bad the Super Bowl is on.   ::)

3 minutes left and it's at $1691.  This should get interesting!!!

Edit: Someone sniper bid on it with 5 seconds left and snatched it from the previous high bidder.  Whoever it was must have been in it for the adrenaline rush. It is insane to sniper bid like that on a collectors item like a V5 6000...you have one chance to make it with only 5 seconds to spare.

Yeap the winner, rottentreats!

@ 1875

Thanks all for your views and support. I really appreciate it

the next will be the Voodoo 5 5000 PCI
but I don't have the item in hand
so until I determine my next trip back to Msia, then I can put yet another 10 days auction for it

i believe those will be more of in demand

Congrats rottentreats!

I'm looking forward to seeing that V5 5000 PCI up for auction.  ;)

This honestly was a surprise to me.  :P

I'm a little bit dissapointed in the price though, I was expecting it to go higher.

Congrats man!

Here is a small vid about the auction.

Don't email the guy ok I did this vid so that it won't go down the memory hole after 30 days.  :-X

Never thought that was a good way to keep memories, I always thought it was best for ebay to keep archives for auctions, but guess they wont have enough space for the millons of auctions listed daily

Hey that's a good way to preserve things. eBay auctions dissapear after 90 days I believe.

Yes, after 90 days even the link goes missing
I managed to track back my old transaction for the Rev 2600.... sadly I can't go back to it to refer to fine details of the auction anymore

:-(

You could try eBay Customer Service.  I read that from time to time they will help you out and give archived auction details.  It's worth a shot anyways. :)

Best of luck! :)

thanks, I might just do that when i've decided to let that card go
