Well, matters of product value are definitely in the eye of the beholder. Two weeks ago my friend in Moscow sold his bare V5-5500 PCI MAC (flashed to PC) for $300 + FX5800 card. Yep, three hundred bucks + $80 worth videocard for unboxed V5-55 PCI! More to say, I'm glad that you have possibility to sell your card for over 60 bucks which is definitely a profitable deal for you. So you have my congratulations!
But there are also with no doubt some objective level of product value (rarity, in our case) based on statistics and other real-life factors. If you check the collectors list, V4-4500 PCI (unboxed) is presented in most collections. Of coure, not so popular as Diamond Monster 3D/3D 2, V3-3000 or V5-5500 AGP, and quite valuable (in comparation with V1/2/3 cards and even AGP versions of V4/5) but definitely usual item. In Russia they are still in stock for $20 and there are hundreds of cards available, for example.

I would like a voodoo 4 for $5-$10 can you give me a link for one that cheap please?

I am constantly on ebay scouring for 3dfx cards, i bought a voodoo 2 with an SLI no vga, for $10.50 thats the cheapest voodoo based card ive seen in recent times. voodoo 3s generally go from $15 upwards and ive not seen a voodoo 4 under $26 for a long time. This is ebay.com.au mind you, a lot of ebayers dont post to australia and if they do youre paying a premium for p&h. I would love for a voodoo 4 to appear for $5-$10 my collection is limited so it would be a godsend.

Hey thats awesome however you'll notice they only shipped to united states, you'd be hard pressed to get something like that here. Voodoo 5s and 4s are a rarity here and the last one i saw in aus went for a staggering $104 AU.  I can only hope to find some old card languishing at a yard sale or second hand market. I will keep my eye open on ebay.com though, maybe someone will ship worldwide...

"on any given week you can find them on Ebay for as little as $5-$10 a pop. "

I was just asking if you could find a link for these elusive $5-$10 a pop voodoo 4 cards. I guess its not so easy, thanks anyway.

I'm just jealous that you were able to sell it for that much, while I've been listing my card in forums for weeks and nobody was interested (3dfx forums). Then on eBay and it was sold for much less.
It's not an opinion, if this card isn't rare, it isn't. I see old easy-to-find video games go for crazy prices everyday, while you can find them for less than half if waiting for the right moment. That's it, my opinions as a not-so-3dfx-newbie-anymore come from hours and hours of reading stuff about 3dfx on sites and forums, where people with great 3dfx knowledge influence what I say.

@TM30,
It is not the first time Gary purchases V5 to that price on ebay. I know it too!

ps. The second A2 v6k on ebay 'vanished'. The auction has been cancelled.

Okay The guy got a really good price for his card. lets just agree to disagree with him on how rare it is 

Congratulations on your sale, you got a great price for it


I hope all your auctions go so well for you
