From this I remember what my ex-wife used to say.
"If you die in whatever, I will sell your collection 10$ a piece."

^^ this! So true - my wife continues to say the same or she'll "donate it all."

A while back I scored a free box full of old games and parts which included an 8 megabyte Voodoo 2 and Halo CE and Doom 3 in the original boxes. He was a friendly guy, and I got the impression that this purge of this stuff from his garage was something that had been "encouraged" by his wife.

I'm swooping up all the NOS built by ATi Radeons I can get my hands on. Saw this NOS All-In-Blunder 8500 for $69 (instant buy)

Wow, 128MB 8500! (and not the DV). Very rare.
Does it work?

I have one sealed / plastic wraped.
I don't have the hearth in opening it and I have just returned this week another one:

It looked brand new, it "smelled" brand new and... it was not working.
I needed the card not the box and accessories.

Well you scared me into testing the card, looks stone cold dead in an 8X AGP slot of a K8V Dang... On a 440BX it posts, then displays the BIOS splash screen with the spinning Vectra logo and then black screen.
