I don't think so, just NEW OLD STOCK I think.
They post that it is 100% NEW and NOT refurbished only missing original box contents.

Finally snagged a GF4 Ti 4600 for a cheap price. It looks really clean too. I've already got a working 64 MB Ti 4200, but I couldn't resist. 🤣

Blades of Glory! Lucky. Cannot decide between the ASUS Ti 4200 128MB and FX 5500-8X 256MB for my Ultimate Windows 98SE machine. Also, that card looks to be in fantastic shape.

I'd probably lean towards the ASUS Ti4200 128MB card for your Windows 98 rig, the only thing the FX 5500 has to offer over any Geforce 4 is DirectX 9 feature set compatibility (although it's not that good) and I doubt you'll be playing XP-era DX9 titles on Windows 98. Besides, chances are that FX 5500 card you're looking at is a 64-bit model and the Ti4200 is 128-bit which means that Ti4200 can be faster than the FX 5500.
One of these...

Seconded. The Ti 4200 is also more period correct (early 2002 vs 2004). Plus the Ti 4200 was legendary for performance/price. It's not really that much slower than the 4600.
mmm Ti4200
HP Z420 Workstation Intel Xeon E5-1620, 32GB, RADEON HD7850 2GB, SSD + HD, XP/7

ASUS V9280S GeForce4 Ti4200 8x 128MB BGA VRAM
Socket 775 - ASRock 4CoreDual-VSTA, Pentium E6500K, 4GB RAM, Radeon 9800XT, ESS Solo-1, Win 98/XP

It's a very nice card! You didn't pay too much for it but shipping from NL is always too expensive...
Requests are also possible... /msg kixs

Stalker! Yeah, what you can do. It's always strange, when you pay more for a shipping then for a product itself...

Reminds me when I bought an item back in 2005.
Paid $10 for the item and $40 for shipping.
