Think I deleted my own post, whoops!

Night all, I have to head outside and finish up some work on my turbo car.

I have to drive it to Chicago next weekend (1800 miles round trip) for a Shelby Dodge yearly event and it's spiting fuel on the ground, have to finish the intercooler plumbing and I have not even road tested it or gotten plates yet!

oy.

Reply #67 - 21.06.04 at 03:10:16 Yep, that sure would give certainty to those still in doubt about the Card... Let's just hope it can keep up to the promises. But honestly, I and others checked all the Markings, Signs and Details possible on the web worldwide... I think this is as good as it gets. When I receive it, I'll be sure to check it out thoroughly

Well that was certainly entertaining! Cheesy

Logging on this morning at work was most obviously a bit of a shock!
I clearly didn't expect this card to generate such a high price, even though there was such a high interest surrounding it!
Anyway, congratulations to FalconFly and no doubtedly future congrats to Patience who will nab the 2nd card. I know this as she tends to keep quiet about what she's bidding on, and then puts squillions of pounds in for the item in the last 1.482 seconds. Grin

Btw, don't try to beat her, you know how much she paid for the 3dfx collection on ebay not so long back! Roll Eyes

FalconFly, please review and rate this card when the time is appropriate and be sure to let us all know if it turns out to be all you expected it to be (or at least, for how much you paid for it Wink

).

Myself, I'll just wait on the 19th card to be auctioned on ebay and snap it up for about $20! Hehe! 8) (yeah right..)

You can bet your bum cheeks on it.

By the look of the bidding history of the first item, it seems Patience's limit was $550.00. She had a full 11 seconds to beat the bid of FalconFly's @ $551.00, but she couldn't see the price he was willing to pay (she may have thought it would have been a LOT more than $551) so I reckon she backed down.

However, I don't expect the 2nd card to reach nowhere near the limit of the first, as I suspect (as many others do) there is more than 2 of these cards from this seller.
Possibly at least 20. Grin

Yep, when I saw my bid instantly reaching what I set to maximum, I hammered a slightly higher one in (to be safe), but it was already too late Wink

As I said, my first 3 bids didn't even get through, since the Price had already climbed past them... within those seconds of typing the numbers... Shocked

[ut2003 DoubleDomination voice]....One second Save! ...[/voice] Grin

If the seller starts pumping out Voodoo4-2 4200's left and right now, I think I'm going to frame mine in mahagoni and airbrush it in gold *lol*

PS.
I did receive a "Notification from an EBay Member" just Minutes after the Auction had ended, but unfortunately my Spam Filter decided to kill it before I could hammer the "*argh* Stop!" Button Tongue

I wonder who sent it...
