Hello Everyone,

I am looking for a Voodoo3 2000 AGP Box [US] and/or a VoodooMAC 5500 PCI Box [US], with or without the card.  It would be optimal if the Box was in VERY good condition if not factory sealed.  I will make it VERY worth your time $$.  Let me know if anyone can help me out :) Thanks :)

i have a 5500 MAC US Box. Its only the box and two short documents about power requirement etc... Plastic inlet is not included

here is a picture:

what would you pay?

Well, pending on whether or not I win this auction will determine whether or not I want your box :)

How much would shipping be the the US, Minnesota, zip code 56011?

I would probably spend around 10-15€...

Also, what exactly is going on in the boxed area? Is that a scuff where the color is missing?

shipping, i dunno... maybe i can make the box flat and put it in a big envelope...

inside the box there is nothing. as i already have written the plastic inlet is missing!

that area you have marked... i dunno. maybe there was a sticker on it before... but its barely noticeable... the flash of the camera makes it that "bad"

Thanks for the info dude :)  If I am still intereseted later, I would prefer the box to stay in its "original form".  I would gladly pay the bit extra to ensure that it does not get damaged.


On another note: Is 150-170 euro a lot for the auction I am bidding on?? And it has 37 shipping... Seems a bit high to me...

THe box is in pretty good condition i guess...

of course its too high.

normal price of this is 80-100euro

but if you want it, get it...
because there are less and less cards around...

TM30 - how rare is a Voodoo MAC 5500 PCI that looks like this?

I can't find any other pictures of this box with only blue/yellow in the image.

do you have the card, too?

than its worth about 100euro

yep, everything's inside.

Ok, I paid 150.00 + 27.50 for shipping.  Guess the price is going up.

192 Euro total for the VoodooMAC 5500 PCI [US] (including shipping).  That's like $240 for the item and $60 shipping.  I don't feel like I got a good deal, but I guess thats the going rate for the voodoomac these days.  Oh well, what good is money if you dont spend it ;)

Plus... now my Voodoo5 5500 AGP/PCI collection is complete.

I can justify spending that much on an item knowing that it wont be spending any more money on that series of boxes/cards [5x].

Congratulations on winning the auction and completing your V5 5500 lineup!   :D

Thanks razrx.  Wish I would have got such a deal like you did!  ;)  Quick question for you, is your box the hard cardboard, or the thinner more flexible kind?  Also, is the box you have the same as mine, or is it different in some way?

I can tell you in a few hours... FedEx is delivering it today!!!!!!

;D

Edit.  The only thing I can tell that's different before the delivery is the box image has different colours.  There is almost no red in the picture.  Just blue/yellow.  The picture I posted was from the auction I won.

Another difference I see right away is the sticker you have in the lower left hand corner of the box... its in all sorts of different languages... So I wonder if the difference is that mine was a US box and yours could have been a Multi Language package.  

Wish I had your box too  ;)

yep, I want it too....

sadly I have the same box as you.  I guess the seller used an image from somewhere else.  

Maybe the revision of the Voodoo driver CD is different, but it really doesn't matter as the card will most likely be flashed to the PC version anyways.  PCs can't read MAC CDs.  So no game demos either..... LOL

Don't be sad... be Happy!  ;D  Be happy that you got yours for 1/2 the price I got mine.  And I don't even plan on ever using mine!  

*EDIT*

Hello again my fellow 3dfxers,

Real quick personal question here.  Look at the picture below.

http://www.abload.de/thumb/receipt7x2.jpg

Would you take off the original receipt that the person had taped on the box?  Or would you leave it on? Please answer and tell me why.  I am just curious what most of you do.  I am torn because I dont want to "tear" the box.  I think its actually kind of neat to have the receipt with the box... I dunno tho  :D

Hey Rotten

I got a Voodoo 3 3000 PCI hard cardboard box that had shipping stickers stuck to the box, I was so bummed.

So I remembered that I had Goo Gone!  It's an amazing product that's citrus based and it removed the stickers with no problem AND it didn't damage the 3dfx box!  :D

It's worth it.  Should be available everywhere.  I've picked up mine at Walmart and Home Depot.

BTW, we paid about the same price.  Mine was 151.71 Euros + 27.50 Euros for shipping.

I am happy about owning a boxed MAC 5500.  I don't see too many of those for auction.

Heya Razrx,

I already have a few bottle's of Goo Gone :)  I have taken stickers off a few of my other boxes.  My question was more if I wanted to take off the receipt.. its kind of proof of where it was bought and for how much, etc.  Kind of like a little background on the item.  

I am sure I could get the tape off with a little time and effort. (and goo gone ;) )  The question now is... do I want to?

For sure  :o

I have a sealed MAC 5500 (European Box Layout) here  :D

hey,

OK, I understand.  Yep, I was wondering about that too.  Would be nice to have a history log of the items, where they came from, etc...

If you were to remove the receipt, why not stick it inside the box for safe keeping?

Yeah, those are special.  I have one that I picked up for £19, with £14 shipping.  Not factory sealed, but in pretty damn good condition.

razrx - You bring up a good point.  I have 3 of the 5500agp boxes, (one factory sealed), so I wonder if I should leave the receipt on this one.. its really a hard decision for me... I should cast a vote.. or atleast sleep on it :) Anyone else have input?

I doubt this conversation is being held in the right place seeing as it has nothing to do with '[W] Voodoo3 2000 AGP Box/Card'.

A discussion about the rarity of cards should be held somewhere else.

Fixed.  DISCUSS AWAY MY FRIENDS!!!  ;D

I just didnt see the point in taking up other space on the forum for a little rant between a few people and I that will last a few days tops... The title still remains and so does the [W] of a v3 2k agp box/card.

So... how about them VoodooMAC 5500's?

Do you have any other Voodoo 5500 MACs?  Have you flashed any to a PC bios?  I flashed my unboxed 5500 MAC to PC, and in the POST on bootup, it says Bios version 1.18 (the latest) but no mention of the DVI connection as I have seen in some postings....  If you have flashed your MAC 5500, what is your PC bios version and does yours say DVI in the POST video card screen?

I read the word 'Goo Gone' and I was seriously considering the fact that you could all be insane, so I asked my wife, (who is from California) if she'd ever heard of it. As she answered yes and explained to me what it is, I was even more confused.

But alas. Don't rip anything off without using Goo Gone! (It's such a cute name, I still barely believe it...) If not, leave the box the way it is.
