(Promise I'll get mine up soon, but it's been put to shame thanks to guenter.f.68 ) However, what are you doing with all those cards? Are you a collector, or a supplier? The reason I ask is because you have 5 or 6 duplicates of some cards. Why is this? ???

I collects as good as I can... I have understood ebay completely and I have had a feeling that the net is unsecure for dealing with money and stuff. Well, I hope that I can start buying stuff there soon.

For now I have to buy stuff in the shops here in Sweden - it can be quite hard... I bought a cmputer for 2-3 years ago with a Voodoo 5 5500 and it worked good until the motherboard broke and it got some sort of acid on it - from the motherboard. Strange but true. In fact it worked good after that too but it got exchganged for a Geforce FX 5600...

However - a few days ago in my local computershop here in my town, very small, I found that they were selling out Voodoos and I took my bike and rided down to it.

I was prepared for rodinary V5s und V4s but what i first saw was a Voodoo 3 2000 boxed - I bought it directly. After that it was time for searching - it was a sell out soo all the cards was bulkpackaged in piles. I found v5s and v4s and after a bit more searching I found some v2s... Bought quite alot..

Soo - my collection now is:

2 Techworks Power3d2
1 Voodoo 3 2000 AGP
1 Voodoo 4 4500
4 Voodoo 5 5500

I can buy more cards but not many different. It was some older edition of a V4 - with the 3dfx logo on the fans but I thought it was more nice with many v5s...

However - they were cheap - very cheap! You got 2 cards for 7$ and they had many many many. All were unused bulk, except the V3, but you could get a driver cd and manual... Also the V2s had a cable in their packages...

It were nice to be in heaven for a while...

Don't worry to much but buy with prudence- In the years I have been doing deals over the 'net I have been only ripped once and that was through a *business transaction through my company from a customer* and after much screaming got Paypal to refund my funds.

If making a purchase through Ebay in general it's best to avoid sellers with zero feedback or a fair amount of negitive feeedback.

However everyone starts with zero feedback- If you must buy in such a case make sure it's an amount you can afford to loose! Some great deals can be found this way because the other buyers will tend to avoid the seller as well. So far I have done very well.

Don't get into a bidding war with another buyer if they have zero feedback, chances are they are a buddy of the seller looking to run the price up or just some dirtbag with a temp ebay id looking to spoil things for everyone else.

Just walk away in that case, the same cards will show up in time unless it is something really rare then you have to decide how bad you want it and take the risk.

Welcome to the board!

Reply #81 - 08.06.04 at 20:03:37 Thanks for the tips I think I will try to try it when I have some money to spend... Doesn't have much over right know... It would be really fun to have some rarity or just a nice collection. I do even have a computer to test them in now (bought one for two days ago - for only $6 - 450mhz p2)

Reply #85 - 11.06.04 at 23:11:50 Well, people should keep it short by not making small updates into new Posts, but try to keep everything relevant into one single Posting (at least that's what I did, besides answering related Questions)

I'm just waiting on my Helios 3D Rush on it's way from the Netherlands. You'll understand my reasoning for waiting to take some snaps, because this is a beauty and in brand new condition! Grin

Apart from that, I'm not waiting on anything else at the moment so I will get them shots up as soon as it arrives!

I suggest we start a new topic with posts of only the lists of cards the collectors (or other members) have.

Each member has one post to update, with their current list of cards. They keep coming back and adding to that ONE post when they get new cards! Simple.

The usual suspects (admins: FalconFly, Patience and Procerus (where the hell is he?)) monitor the posts made by each member.

How does that sound? Roll Eyes

Yep, a full-scale series of high quality Imagery of entire Collections sure would break the bounds of the normal Forum.

If the owner of the respective Collection was to offer high-quality Imagery and suffient people join in, we could one day mix it all together on the Archive's Main page however.

That in turn could easily eat up some 100MB (or more) of precious Server space however, so even if we do it, it will have to be postponed for a month or two...
Then I wouldn't mind hosting the entire Images, sort of a 'open for all' Collectors shelf who seek a little showcasing Wink

I hope to have mine up next month on my site- This month is impossible for me to do, due to getting my car (s) ready for a major cross country trip to a yearly get together with a bunch of other turbo Chrysler nutcases.

Don't worry Grin

, It will be no more than two photos of the WHOLE collection! I am fully aware of the bandwidth-eating galleries that can be created! Roll Eyes

It will just have to be a good arrangement of the cards in order to get them all in one shot.

Btw, about the collector's list, for forum purposes, just make it text-only! Problem solved! 8)
