The current going price of $14,600 equals out to about $2.09 cents per 3dMark.

I would like to offer my Voodoo 5 5500 AGP for the same price per 3Dmark and it can be yours for only :

Keep in mind if you run the broken merlin drivers you're probably getting an even better deal!

The way this 3DMark calculates score means that its an average framerate of about 70 on the V6000 vs my avg of about 55 on the V5500. Seriously I paid $275.00 for my V5, for an extra 15FPS that's a huge markup, worse than NVidia!

I can beat this with my V5 5500 AGP:

Hopefully not Will it Blend or the Hydraulic Press channel.

Unicorn herding operations are proceeding, but all the totes of hens teeth and barrels of rocking horse poop give them plenty of hiding spots.

Well, it finally hit the $15,000 mark. This is the part where you say to yourself, "I'm already willing to spend $15,000... am I going to let this thing escape at $15,100?"

That's 15.050 over my budget.

I kicked around putting in a bid, but Warren Buffet is not returning my calls on this "can't miss" investment strategy.

I'm half tempted to put in a bid knowing I'll probably be outbid, but just for the sake of having put in a bid. And then being terrified that I might win and have to get a second mortgage to pay for it.

Actually bitwrangler a has kidney-growing factory on the way.
I'm already an investor! 🤣

The future of outbidding the riches is around the corner!

This sounds so Fallout-ish.....

No last minute bids. Does ebay have a max price limit or something?
