Who wants to have extremely overpriced reference Radeon 7500? Most funny thing is that one of them was sold.

I personally, by hand, upgraded to a BFG NVIDIA 7800 GS currently in the PC.

Oh, good. Glad you didn't use your foot...or...other...stuff....

You often see, with ebay accounts run by big companies, that the pricing is all over the place. This is due to how they delegate basically the pricing to random employees. So one person might price something at $40 and another might price it at $400. Since they have thousands of items for sale, no one checks, and if it doesn't sell they don't care.

Aside from the cap's Id say its not all to over priced seeing it has its box.
But 50$ for a ECS board with busted caps? and saying its in good condition? yeah no way that's a good buy.

i have had ebay sellers reply back to me "What bad caps?" when the photos clearly showed otherwise.

I can easily assume this will be outrageously priced.

The guy who put this on ebay Ultra Rare!!!! is part of a retro pc group I am part of on facebook. He's tried to sell this card multiple times, he keeps insisting it is rare and that it will sell. Though he's had one botched listing, one that "sold" then mysteriously it pops up again. Hmm....it "sold"?

That was discussed at length in the ebay thread and spawned an argument just recently. Most of us know of it's existence.
