This is all just educated speculation but it seems like older parts are going up in price when they should be going down (and not the collector grade stuff, im talking stuff that was sold in millions and isnt even rare and is certainly only valuable to people like us who look for this stuff.). I can't figure out why these are all going up so fast, there aren't alot of people looking for a graphics card from 2003 nor people buying Pentiums by the bucketload.
Examples:
ASUS GeForce 256 AGP model V6600: $50
Leadtek A380 Ultra GeForceFX 5950 Ultra: $125
Pretty Much all Radeon 9800's: $50-100
Pretty Much any Mid-High End GeForce 6/7 series card (AGP Versions): 40-120
Whats with all the (going by rarity relative to number manufactured) 20-30 dollar cards going up so quickly. I mean were not talking about collectors grade stuff from the 1990s or 1980's. Were talking about things that most people would scrap. These aren't one off insane people listing things at insane prices either. These are consistant.
Are these things really that rare or is eBays retro computer parts section just at a high price point over all right now?
