I got my first Voodoo2 (Creative 3D Blaster Voodoo2 8MB) for 500DM.

The shop owner brought only a few from the Cebit where it was presented for the first time and released, I got some of the very first cards in Germany.

I still have a number of old magazines with their price lists and will have a look later.

In March 1998, the best price I could find for a Canopus PURE3D was $275.00 Canadian (~ $194 US at that time @ 1:1.4166, ouch! (http://www.economagic.com/em-cgi/data.exe/fedstl/excaus+2))
