Reply #4 - 14.02.04 at 17:53:49 Looks like this one is back up again, for sale! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2787512238&category=40157 Check out the feedback of the seller though! Didn't get a good response from the previous buyer (to be)! Sounds like there could be something wrong with this auction (and seller ) alledgedly.

Me neither... but sellers that are selling a Voodoo5 6000, may have simply joined on eBay, solely to the sell the card, because they may be aware that a lot of buyers may use eBay to find one. You must give v5 6k sellers with 0 feedback, the benefit of the doubt.

Best thing to check is to see the date they joined. If it's the same day as when the v5 6k went on sale, chances are they are here to sell the card and that's it.

However, sellers who have tried to sell the card in the past, things have not gone according to plan with the buyer and he labels the seller a "criminal", you are asking for trouble. And people would be mad to put in a bid, the second (or several more) time he tries to sell it.

It may sound dishonest to the V5 6k (please forgive me Embarrassed

) but last time, it went for an awful lot of money, and it's only a display model! yes, okay, it comes with a plaque, but anyone can build one of those with a bit of time on the old CAD CAM machine! Wink

This is probably just my opinion, but if I was going to spend that amount of money on a V5 6k, I'd wait for a woking model! Heck, you can always put it on display when you've finshed using it, or got bored of it (but I can never see the latter option ever happening! Grin

)

I just urge buyers to be cautious on this purchase! Get as much info about the item (and the seller for that matter) as you can!

I was doing a bit of "ebay surfing" last night and managed to find out he's selling it yet again! Word of advice: Let this one go!

Can we hit him with mallets now? Heheheh! 8)

Yea, a scammer, preying on either the very stupid or those with too much money and nothing better to spend it on. There was something similar a while back, remember? That huge collection of cards, may have been genuine but looked dodgy nonethless.

I'm bemused as to why anyone would want one of those overpriced things anyway, they are rarely working, especially the Intel bridge chip variants, and are more of a testamant to 3dfx's downfall, than it's success (Voodoo2 fills those shoes).
