Title: V3 Prototype on eBay!
Post by paulpsomiadis on 10.05.04 at 15:20:22

Well, there's not much time left on it (about 3/4 hour) but if anyone wants to bid on it before it's gone ::): -

I was going to bid myself, but it's already getting pricey! :o

Good luck guys and gals! ;)

Well folks it's GONE! :o

I even tried to bid myself, but the winning bidder must have had a HUGE proxy bid on the item! :'(

It ended at: -

US $102.50
Approximately £57.41

WOW! A LOT for a V3, even if it IS a prototype! :o

I would not be a bit surprised if it showed back up in a week or two.

@gdonovan - I think you have this confused with the 'other' guy who was selling the 'vapourware' V5 6K! ::)

@patience - Indeed, but I guess we'll never know unless the buyer asks for help on these, or the 3dfxzone forums! ::)

Still, I woulda' LOVED to get my fingers on that card! ;)

Darn !

100$ for a nice Prototype is really nothing...

...oh well, would have been nice to give my lonely V3-3500 Prototype some 'company' with a fellow Prototype companion, but I guess I'll simply have to wait for next one to pop up ;)

Nope, look at the bid history.

Lots of bids from a zero feedback bidder with a spanking new account.

You forgot the other V3-3500 Prototype running at 200 mhz with its "very special" pod and currently lonely. ;)
