If anyone is intrested (and if I win for a reasonable sum) I'll sell them for $2 each (or $1.50 each if you buy 5) plus shipping.

The guys shipping for a single keychain is a joke, $14!

interested....

they are always welcome :) you're on 5 will be fine :)

If shipping won't be as outrageous as that 14 Dollars than I'm interested in one.

yeah true on that one NitroX. yeah count me in but shipping must be reasonable indeed I agree.

okay i also take some...

but we all here have to let gary win the auction. so nobody here from falconfly board should bid on it... only gary.



edit: i take 10

..agreed.methinks I'll take some as well ;D

5 for me ;D

--edit--

Correct that, my brother wants 2 more that'd be 7 in total ;)

Wh00t. I'm interested in 5 piecs  ;D
If you have some left-overs make it 10  :P (But that's only If you have many spare ones, other 3dfx collector must have their chance too  ;))

I want 2 or 3, too. ;)
Maybe we can collect shipping to one country (e.g. germany) and the recipient distributes further so the shipping costs are not so high. :)

you could have one each for your house and car keys obi-wan

Yah, I'm up for one - I collect keyrings so a 3Dfx one would be sweet! 8)

Plus they look rather better quality than most crappy company keyrings out there...a pretty solid build quality - just like the GFX cards...WOOT! ;)

Shipping via first class airmail is pretty cheap, I was shipping 3-4 support brackets for only $2 to Germany.

I'm allways interested in 3dfx merchandise... ;D depending on how much postage is to aus that is, would be awesome to have one of those items!!!

I live in California and he wants $14.95 to ship to me >:(

UPS Ground at that.

I would like to buy 25 pieces :P.and 10 v5 6k brackets as well.

guys from 3dfx.cz,if you are reading this,its time to get your own paypal accounts ::)

Uhm, there are "only" 50 of them, I think 25 are too much for one person...

jep good idea! only one recipent in germany... and he will spread them...

i would like to do that if the other german buyers here agree.

..I'm taking only two,the rest is for guys from http://forum.3dfx.cz/
I'm the only guy with a paypal account (and decent english ;D),so I have ended making deals and sending 3dfx stuff for many people..anyway,its gdonovans decision.right now,only 15 keychains are already gone,that makes it 40 total with the 25 I want to buy.

those 10 brackets are not for me as well ;)

Yes, at the rate of intrest I'm not sure there is enough to go around but I think the seller may have another box as he is selling singles which would imply he has more then one box.

I'll inquire about two.

i would like to have one,
but I am still having the headache of payment since you have difficulties accepting money orders / bank drafts

i think that everybody who wants to have a keychain shpuld get at least one...IMO 10 keychains are too much...

@gary: i guess you will take more than 1 or 2...so you can say how many keychains you want to have and the rest can be divided fairly...

i wanna have one piece ;)

i want one ;D

Hello,
I want one, too
(Voodooalert.de)

No win on this one guys sorry.

BUMMER! Hopefully the seller will 'unearth' another box of them... :-/

Again Keychains on Ebay.  ;)

US $30.00 starting bid.

gary go go go  ;D

PLEASE ALL DO NOT BID... ONLY GARY DOES  8)

I hope gary waits for the last 30 seconds to bid on this item....would be a nice item to have, the seller seems to keep upping the price on these "rare" boxes...

ah... the next 50 key chain to bid on second chance   ::)

Gary,

Are you going to try again? I saw a familar name in the bid history of the last auction (janskjaer).

I was wondering if there are any left? Some of the guys were grabbing them by the hand full. I only want one for my Mercury removable drive key. I would drill a hole in a V2 chip but I don't have any extras and want to keep the tray complete.

If not, Maybe you have an extra V2 chip I can get from you? I like those keychains just as well ;)

http://www.3dfx.ch/gallery/album323/system_keychains

I have to wonder, how many boxes of 50 will turn up. In the bid history I saw several. This box went to Lisa for $25.00 on a BIN :o

http://cgi.ebay.com/Lot-of-50-rare-3DFX-3D-Keychains_W0QQitemZ8737769512

I think I'll try my luck with the one currently available..up to $60-70 or something like that.

why you do not let gary win so he can spread them out?

well if hes going to bid I'll let it go,but I certainly dont want this one slipping again ;).there is no way to tell if the seller has another box or not,this may be the last chance..

Why don't you PM Gary and see if you guys can work something out. I would hate to see the last box slip away too. I have emailed the seller but haven't gotten a reply.

Has anyone else made contact with thr seller??

pm sent.if I wont get a reply in 12 hours or see him bid,I'll try my luck..

last package obviously goes one by one

--edit--

That was like hardcore -20sec probably 100$ bid
and than a -10sec 95$ bid by patience

I belive u will have to raise prices/per sample

Well, 100 / 50 makes $ 2 each.
Some shipping costs and some money for Gary (as in 'loan'  ;D) and it would still be a good deal  8)

Ebay battle-mongering  ;D

Actually she had to bid before me or she would have had to enter a higher amount, my reserve was $101.

Good thing my shipping is cheap, might have to bump up to $2.25 each though.

darn, have to give Patience props though, who is hardcore enough to bid $95 on keychains?

:D

Well speaking of price I have no problem giving even 3$ a piece.

But damn now u see how can 2 people with the same bidding tecnique end an auction.

She went the same way as you, just to make it a "safe" win.

..my offer is still valid,I would like to buy up to 25 keychains and 12 voodoo5 6k brackets as well.payment via paypal,shipping to no-X,as always ;)

calling me names about right now, in french.

(I state that that in no way angry terms, Patience and I have gone back and forth on Ebay in the past) Sometimes she wins, other times I do (or someone else of course)

I have the utmost respect for her as a competitor.

I take this as a bit of coincidence (coicidence that it came up to 95$)

About Patience, I haven't got a chance to see her posts on this forum since I came too late, I saw only some replyes leading to some minor data about her, some quotes...
But I have seen her perform in certain auctions and I saw the effectiveness she has.

About this bidding method I used it a few times, high outbids near the end just "steal" time to the competitor, but still I haven't gotten into a situation like this... luckily


Amm on topic..

I take 3 for me and 3 for my bro, that makes a total of 6

wrote on 29.12.05 at 01:56:11:

Well the theory is you shoot high at the end in case someone else jumps in at the last 15 sec and starts running the bid up.

By going high, you cover the chance the bidder runs out of time before the price reaches your reserve.

Patience went high.. but I went higher.

I'll contact everyone when the keychains come in.

Gary

KEWL! ;D

Nice to know that the keychains will finally be available... ;)

...also nice to know that Patience is still around in 'spirit' at least! :D

Damn you all, I so spent $8.62 on that auction!

*Insert cursing here*

Put me down for a few  ;)

Huh ???

These guys were organizing this long before you out bid me on the single key chain. Don't be mad at them. A wise move on their part. I had to come crawling back begging just for one after being defeated on eBay :-/

LOL, no I'm cursing at myself for missing this darn thread!

Ah I just started reading this too, so lisa who is patience got it then and if so are they selling on this site to any of us? I got lost in all the threads who was what here.

p.s. I'd like one or two if that's the case.   ;D

I don't think so ??? Patience is Mystychat on ebay. Unless she took on a new ID.

ah ok, I misunderstood that.

Keychains are in- Give me a few days to start contacting people though, work has been going full blast 10-11 hours a day  :P

No problem Gary! ;)

Props to you for aquiring the keychains! 8)

...let us know when you'll have the time to ship... :D

==EDIT==

Just the one keychain please! ;)

Sounds good man, only looking for a couple here.  :D

Just want one :)

okay count me in also Gary 3 here please :)

If you could only move this thread to the "Marketplace" you could score some serious Positive FB :P

Hey gary not sure if you got my PM or not, 2 would be great!  :)

Did you get the one you won on ebay?

I was wondering how it looked?

Must be worthy or you wouldn't be ordering more right ;)

It's pretty cool, I'll have to take a picture of it later on :)

Total cost shipped overseas via air-

For 1 keychain $5.00 USD
For 2 keychain $7.25 USD

Mind you I only have 20 left, if you can do with just one please do, so everyone has a chance to have one.

paypal address is- garydonovan@hotmail.com (no credit card please) I'll assume from the payment cost how many you want.

Gary

Habbs thanks for payment!

st4r4m4m4 = 2 set aside for mail payment for you and your brother.

Being fairly new here, your located in germany right? I was thinking you were located in the US...

USA

So I was right!  :D

So how much for shipping to 05851 (VT)?

Media mail, parcel post.. w/e the cheapist is I'm poor  ;)

Same price, cheaper then the sellers $14 and change.

Gary, is this only for the people you contacted? Just asking since I haven't received any word from you.

And how much would the price be for one keychain plus shipping to The Netherlands?

keep my one in mind and talk to me @msn!

Don't forget mine ;) For the Mercury Ignition Key 8)

Obi-Wan Kenobi.

I don't have 3 for sale, there isn't enough to go around.

okay I'll buy 1 from ya sending 5 US Dollars to ya now my friend

Hey Gary,
I'll put $5 in your account tommorow, cheers.
Quad

Will buy one but the money won't be in untill late this week. Need to transfer money from my bank to my paypal account manually and that takes 3 to 4 days according to paypal. Transfer to your paypal account is offcourse faster :)

looks like there wasn't enough huh?
man.. I guess I should have went for the single auction instead of waiting for this one to end.

no wonder I did not get a feedback after the auction was won

wrote on 15.01.06 at 15:20:03:

Not enough if everyone wants 3 or more, looks ok for one or two (I did mark you down for one and reserved it)

thanks.  ;D

I initiated the paypal-transfer for one keychain, too.
paypal didn't let me pay per debit entry so I have to transfer the money manually to paypal.

Hi Gary, I sent ya 5 USD last night :) for just one 3Dfx Keyring , I can understand the reasons ;)

May The Force Be With You ;)

@ Eye-Q

your keychain will be on the way in a day or two.

@ OB1

Yours as well.

Hey Gary,
Payment made today for one keychain mate.

@ Gary thanx mate I'll give ya apossitive Feedback also ;)

Must have been from your debit or credit, can't take it on that paypal account I'm afraid =(

Gary,
How does that work then? do i have to transfer into my paypal account from the credit?
Quad

..you need to have a paypal account,log in,click send money,type down recipients email address,the amount of money you want to send,the currency,select "other goods" and let it fly.works fine for me :)

Yeah it usually works fine for me but it came from the credit card not my paypal account, doesnt make a lot of sense to me but yeah...gotta try and transfer money into the paypal account.

I have added my bank account info to my paypal account. Now I can send money from either Credit/Debit card or funds directly from my bank (instant transfer).

That is faster than transfering funds from your bank to your PayPal, then sending money. This can takes days.

Could be different for you guys as eBay/PayPal is a U.S. based Co. and I'm in the U.S.

Anyway, I hope this helps.

you dont need to transfer funds manually from your bank accout to your paypal account,if you have a credit card linked to your paypal account,the money will be transferred from your bank account automatically.

this should work in any country.I mean,if it works in Slovakia,it must work almost anywhere ;D

Yeah i have my credit card linked and it pays directly from that, im trying to set up direct debit from my other account at the moment and its proving difficult....

Hmm... It always give me the option, if I don't have the necessary funds, to either direct transfer or credit card. Only the priemer/business account can accept credit cards. But they also charge you (the seller) around 3%

You guys must realize that our friend Gary is going to a great deal of time and trouble for all of us on this deal. I think I speak for all of us when I say:

Thank you Gary for making this Keychain deal possible for us here at "The 3dfx Archive"

No problem guys, no problem.

If I could find a darn template for Word to print out the customs form it would make my life SO much easier.

Yes, I have to fill out a customs form even for a keychain, sheesh.

well Gary some things are sad to be true :-X those lads at the customs can be bugga's.

Thanx for all your great help mate ;)

wrote on 17.01.06 at 02:07:33:

..those lads at the customs can be bugga's.

yer got that d@mn right >:(.robbed me on those v2 chips deal-had to pay $20 to get rid of them parasites.and they broke my friends guitar as well ($100 repair).probably tried to play baseball with it or something.boredom can be a real killer.

Do they make you guys go up there and open the package for them or do they open it and declare the value themselves?

I just shipped some V2 chips, 8 of them, to Germany. I declare them as a gift as we traded 8 for 8 and valued them and a dollar each. I hope they don't get held up in customs :-/

heh well to tell the truth I would like my fleet to attack them one day, those mucked up fools made me pay 80 euro's for my V6K + VV when it came, I was thinking Time To Kick Teh Post man Yo Homies!! ;D

but No it's not The Postman's Fault it's those damn Customs, I have a feeling that they do this just to earn a little extra from us innocent people.

D*amn betrayers the thieves they are hay.  >:( Yeah ps47 @ Gamma742 they suck deeply.

Yep, especially German Customs can be a pain, activities widely vary from point to point though (depends which Sector the Package arrives to).

Marking it as a gift doesn't help german customers, since that former exception was removed from the customs laws some time ago.
Now the only thing that counts is the total value of the item and the proper description of the contents.
Here it gets funny, German customs expect a double-issue of properly filled out (in german!) recepit (even for a gift... *lol*). So the contents must be preciley labeled into types of goods they can understand (e.g. used computer/PC Hardware).

Apparently, customs personell (despite accepting/checking Postage from like 250 nations) is not required to speak a single word english or any other language.

which is absurd, no wonder why we feel so light in our pocketbooks, here in Holland they are nearly the same if the item is old or new that don't count it all depends on the weight they say hahaha I was like Yii Haa Gran Paa Since when did we ever get the chance to believe that lol.

Anyways the Customs should get some attention they aren't tak'n things too seriously :-X

but anyways Gary how are your sales go'n? I hope you found a place for all items :)

No, that is the seller that sold the 50 keychains to Gary. ;) Gary is 2000lfd at ebay.

ok
have to get one soon

all ebayed out at the moment!

Has anyone broken the factory seal on their keychain. I had planned to but I can't get up enough nerve to remove it from the sealed plastic bag :-/

well samamea Gamma742  :)
I left mine sealed as is, after all it is still a sealed Olestyle 3Dfx product right ;)

I broke the seal on mine! ;D

Couldn't wait to open it and check out the keychain properly... ;)

...besides, what's the use of a 'wrapped' keychain? ???

hehe got a point there Paul :)

Well it's a 3Dfx Keychain as a speciallity I can also say what's the use for a sealed Voodoo card, might as well open that make good use of it from what it still is ;)

:) The Point is it may be rare and when an item is sealed if it's a keychain, pen or even a Voodoo card it has more value :) That is I think why alot of people keep thier sealed items, well ... sealed :)

wrote on 25.01.06 at 23:34:38:

Ditto, it's rubbery :P Thanks Gary!

I didn't notice but your right I didn't take it out of the plastic wrap but I gave it a couple of bends. It is rubbery :)

Uhm, more valuable overtime when it's wrapped.
Unwrapped it can get damaged more easily and stuff in the air (smoke, etc) can damage it also.

So keeping it wrapped is the smartest thing to do if you are a true collector.

I still have a few left if people are looking.

They are packed in plastic 3Dfx that's so fantastic!!! also a reason to keep them sealed :+  ;D

Thx for keychain I have sent you payment for one more thanks :D

The problem with this seller: he wants to rip off with shipping and handling costs... ::)

Some time ago I bought three cards from him (2 Velocity 100 + 1 V3 1000), the auction of the Velocitys stated 12$ flat shipping rate without any notice of extra costs for more than one article but the aution of the V3 1000 stated 12$ for the first article plus additional 10$ per extra article.
Real shipping costs: 2.35$...

hmm that's pretty sick, so he likes to abuse the shipping costs, hmm good thing to keep in mind thanx for the tip, Eye-Q ;)

..that pokemon guy? expensive shipping,and he has send an incorect card that was busted.had to pay him some more $$ to "cover the shipping costs" for the replacement card,and the replacement had one capacitor torn off.good thing my friends dad is good at soldering.not recommended :P

hehe I think I posted my ebay auctions in the wrong place I will remove them to the propper place :-X

Sorry Everyone.
