I was the only one to see the listing. I've never clicked so fast in my life. To think, about two years ago I sold a sealed one for $180. Ever since then I wanted another, and now I have it. Very nice, great price.

Like I've seen again and again, the eBay system has got several severe bugs in it which limits auctions to either one, or a number of geographical locations only.

Settings your ebay advanced search to worlwide does not pick these auctions up. Sometimes it's as restricted to several states or counties.

It's weird, but true, many many topics on this all over the internets.

I look at the Obsidian2 and Obsidian 2 searches twice a day at least, and this did not come up.

Going to eBay.com or eBay.de directly helps strangely enough, but even then it misses quite a few auctions.

I can only roughly translate: It's a V5 Mac flashed with a PC-BIOS, the DVI works perfectly, the seller has neither the original CD nor a manual, drivers are downloadable via Internet.
The seller takes no responsibility if the card doesn't function if it is caused by an inexperienced user.
Paccocelere 1 and Paccocelere 3 are shipment standards, while 1 is insured but 3 is uninsured (I think), the seller prefers insured shipping.

Vendo questa preziosa scheda video 3DFX Voodoo 5500 PCI (mac@pc) .

I am selling this precious 3dfx video card Voodoo5 5500 PCI for Mac (flashed with a PC bios)

La vendita è sicuramente indirizzata ad appassionati per cui non descrivo le note caratteristiche della scheda.

The sale is aimed to enthusiast users, so every further description is useless.

Si tratta della versione Macintosh alla quale è stato flashato il bios della versione PC conservando funzionalità del connettore DVI propria della versione MAC (altrimenti non presente nella versione PC ).

We are speaking about the Macintosh version of this card, that has been flashed with PCI bios; DVI connector is still working.

La scheda è perfettamente funzionate ! Il PCB è perfetto ! La scatola è in ottimo stato, solo un lato corto ha qualche piegolina. Non sono allegati Cd o manuali . Drivers reperibnili su internet. La scheda funziona a nche su Windows 7 / Vista.

The card is working like a charm! PCB is perfect! The box is in very good condition, except for one of the sides, where there are somelight folds. No CD or manuals are bundled. The driver are available on-line. Card is running under Windows 7/Vista.

Non mi assumo responsabilità in caso di manomissioni e scorretto utilizzo della scheda che per inesperienza puo essere danneggiata.

I takes no responsibility for event of improper use and damage of video card due to inexperienced user.

Consiglio un alimentatore di buona fattura.

I suggest a good quality PSU.

Spedisaco in Paccocelere 3 o Paccocelere 1 a seconda delle preferenze .

I ship trough Paccocelere3* or Paccocelere1* as you wish.

Un Saluto

Bye

*Italian National Shipments

I owned this card some months ago, then I flashed and sold it to Kyrandia.

I just received confirmation from my family members in the UK that my EyeScream 3D glasses have arrived today!

Here are the photos:

The seller was originally selling them on eBay and I was watching them for at least a couple of weeks. His starting price originally being around 99.00GBP, then reducing his Buy It Now to 75.00GBP, then 55.00GBP. Each time he listed them for a week, and amazingly, nobody bid on them!

I eventually contacted him out of eBay and he agreed to sell them for just 20.00GBP. Cool

I hear the package is in like new condition and perfectly sealed! Not a bad price I thought.

The sealed box looks like it's in great condition. I recently won an auction for six 3dfx thermashield fans for a BIN price of $5 US, shipping was $3 US.

Wish I could use 3D glasses - but they give me a headache... Sad

...it's the flickering image - sick inducing "thing" that they do. Roll Eyes

I have the same issue with older FPS games that don't use perspective correction (If I play too long). Tongue

Also games that have low or bad framerate (not an issue with my new rig!) Cool

[pictures to be posted with details as soon as I have some time away from my college course] Wink

BTW - congrats on the win @Ania! Cool
