Don't be sad... be Happy! Grin

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.

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 Cheesy

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! Cheesy

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 Wink

) The question now is... do I want to?

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?

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

Fixed. DISCUSS AWAY MY FRIENDS!!! Grin

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.
