I have that same video card sitting on the floor here. Paid $20 for it. Was too much in my opinion.

Heh, I have an AGP Matrox G200 I paid maybe, 10 bucks total for. I'm trying to grab a PCI version and an 8mb SGRAM upgrade for feipoa's 686 benchmarking project and I'm having a hard time finding this card for less than $30 with shipping. The 8MB upgrade alone will cost almost as much as that.

Anyway, this dude selling that Matrox must think his shit is made of pure gold or something. He's trying to sell a Socket 7 Asus board for 900 bucks.

That Matrox asking price is just silly.

I don't believe any Matrox G200 PCI cards had SGRAM, so you would actually be looking for an SDRAM upgrade module. The AGP G200's came in SGRAM and SDRAM.

Thanks for the correction, I'm not very familiar with the old Matrox cards. Most of my collection consists of older Nvidia, ATI and 3DFX stuff.

Now here's a bargain for ya

Darn, and here I sold my Voodoo 1 4MB on ebay this weekend for $5.00, no reserve, free shipping. I feel so darn charitable and nice all of a sudden 🤣

Old IBM XT, kind of expensive for something this ancient?

That's 1230 €, or 1600 US bucks. I don't know, is this a 'fair price'? You can get a GTX 690 for less money.

But look at the actual prices listed for units sold. That price must be some kind of fuck up. That's like 5 times what the thing would have cost back in the day when new.

Misplaced decimal?

Insane.

Look how short the card is, too. A 9800XT should be a bit longer than that. It's probably a 9800 Pro, or maybe a 9600XT.

I don't know what's sadder, that price or the fact that the seller managed to find 91 people willing to pay it.

The card is out of stock so that's how a lot of sellers stop people making purchases (by changing the price to some crazy inflated value). When they get more stock in they just amend the price. I think it allows the seller to avoid having to pay the fees to relist the item.

If you have a M919 without the cache stick this could be your only chance, outrageously priced or not. The last one I saw on ebay USA went for $99.99. I had to buy a whole motherboard to get mine, but fortunately I didn't pay anywhere near those prices. 😜 😁

I'm wondering what's so special about that??? I can see someone trying to get a boatload of money for a PowerPC Thinkpad, but not a PII class machine.

I'm wondering that myself... The most notable thing about it is that there's an expansion card for it that adds hardware MPEG2 decode and video capture, but nothing outside of that.

That is ridiculously priced, but they are getting quite rare.

I bought my m919 modules in 2000 for $5 or less. I have three in total, 2 are in boards, 1 is for backup. Maybe I can sell them to pay off the mortgage one day.
