But I think as his collection has grown, and he started trading, He has done better on his deals. I found out the hard way, you don't want to find youself bidding against him on ebay. It can get very expensive.

Just came from your web page, was viewing the Proto-Types VSA-100. Man I have to say, that 6K with the special heatsink/fan setup must be your crown jewel Shocked

If not, I'd sure like to know what item in your massive collection you consider to be the crown jewel.

A snip from your page (I hope you don't mind) Undecided

Quote:

Prototype fan & heatsink combo shown installed on reworked on 3700- I'm told that this is the very first time one of these heatsink was ever installed on a V5-6000. There was a handful of evaluation units made and none were ever mounted on a board till now. As a bonus, the "3700" board that this combo is mounted on is the "test board" used by Hank Semenec (ex-3dfx engineer) to develop the "PCI rework." The PCI rework allows the V6K to achieve full speed stable operation in all anti-aliasing modes. The term PCI in this case refers to the boards internal bus that the VSA-100 chips pass data back and forth.

You are thinking it, stated as such several times and just stated it again (joke or not)

Fair warned- blanket unfounded remarks about other collectors stealing your purchase from the seller will not make you any friends and is insulting.

The seller is stalling, once 90 days passes feedback can't be left.
