I tested the card in win2k with amigamerlin, and both chips work well in unreal tournament. If you agree to buy, I'll send you pictures before sending the paypal invoice.

HS!

I'm sorry! I want to get rid of it because I just bought a rev a2. I bought this one for a little over 100. After paypal fee, I will practically make no profit from it. I could always just put it on ebay for 150 and wait for someone to buy it, but I'd rather not do that. Some crazy folks have tried selling theirs for more than that!

Not to be rude but that is the problem in spending money on things that don't worth it. If you see crazy prices go even more crazy is because there are people that waste money in this way. That has been a well discussed topic here in the past and this problem has been a plague since then.

To make you an example, just an hour ago I received an original RGB SCART lead for the first Playstation (SCPH-1052) used but in nice condition and with its box in good shape as well. I was looking for this cable by ages and if you know just a little of console collecting you know that these cables are very rare and hard to find and go from 50€~80€ or more for just the bare lead. Some times ago there was a russian guy at assemblergames.com that had for sale dozen of these cables new in box asking a LOT of money for them.
I paid mine something like 25€ all included Wink

Good things happen to those who wait

Goriath, I get what you are saying. The problem is I live in Slovakia, and IT-age was simply non-existent here back in the day. You won't find any v5's on our market, guaranteed. Our local "craigslist" is always full of ads, bud never did I see a v5. Nowadays, when people sell their V1-3's, they know the drill, and ask a pretty penny for it. The only upside is you can skip postage this way and actually meet in person.

I've been hunting for a V5-5500 for a little over two years now. Not full time, but recreationally. I have never seen a single AD on either Slovak, Czech, Hungarian or Polish classifieds.

On the bright side, I've managed to buy almost new condition Ati Rage Fury Maxx on Polish auction site (allegro.pl), that I got shipped for 15€ total back in the day (2013) Wink

That's about $18. Go look up those prices on ebay now Wink

I realise $115 is a lot, but is really the best offer I can find now. So Queso, what is the final shipping quote? If it's around $20, I'll definitely take it Wink

Thanks!

Do you know the funny thing?
The SCART lead I bought comes exactly from Bratislava. While where I live there are no offers for such things, nor eBay auctions or listings on the various ad sites, I found the ad for the cable at unknown czech site. I contacted the seller but he never replied me, so I used a proxy, a person who live in Slovakia which bought the cable for me. That's the reason why I paid 25 euro, I needed to cover all the costs (cable and double postage); otherwise the cable itself was around 12 euro

P.S. I found the listing simply googling Wink

I actually bought one once for $50, but it was DOA. It is now a decoration piece! Anyway, The shipping calculator on usps.com states that shipping to Slovakia with First-class mail is $22.50. That is the slowest option available.

Hello, I tried that several times, no results Sad

All I found is an old ad back from 2012 which the seller never responded to.

I always google for the following terms:
Vásárlás voodoo 5500 - hungarian for "For sale voodoo 5500"
voodoo 5500 ar - "voodoo 5500 price"
Kup voodoo 5500 - polish for "voodoo 5500 for sale"
voodoo 5500 cena - polish, slovak and czech for "voodoo 5500 price"
predam voodoo 5500 - slovak for "voodoo 5500 for sale"
prodam voodoo 5500 - czech for "voodoo 5500 for sale"

I also figured I could ask at 3dfx.cz forum, but that forum seems long dead. So Queso, I'll take the card, postage is reasonable

Could you please send me some pictures + POST screen of some test rig? I'll then send you my paypal email. Thanks!

Sounds good. I'll post some pictures later today with post, Windows device manager, 3dfx tools, etc, and how it's packaged.

EDIT: here are some photos
Fans are pretty much dustless and make minimal sound. It seems as if the person I bought it from didn't use it much. The card is really clean!
Theres one screenshot with stuff and two in-game pictures taken with my phone. The glide was used in the pic with the green laser, and the other one was with direct3d 32bit. The test rig was a q3d graphite.
