Can anyone tell me where x800 pro cards sell for 350cdn dollers?
Why are these cards that expensive when they are 3 years old?

Or am i not looking in right place?

'Tis the reason. Low quantity, and very low demand. There's no reason for anyone to buy them, especially since faster SM3.0 cards have already replaced them.

Go for a 7600gt or something-it's right in that range, and very, very cheap.
 
wouldn't it make sense to put them on sale rather than paying for storage of them?
 
AGP or PCIe?

Most AGP cards are ridiculously expensive due to an almost nonexistent supply of cards and still lots of AGP motherboards. I could probably sell my 6800GS AGP for $150-$200.
 
Well thats why im asking. Im selling mine.. I have an AGP version. Im wondering how much i should ask for. 150 canadian sounds fair? I still have box and everything. It can pass as a bran new card in box.
 
No really. If the OP is from Canada, then I can understand.

For 350 CAD, I'd expect a 7900 GT or higher. That's barely enough to buy a 7900 GS if you walk into a store. A 8800 GTS costs 600 CAD up here in the big white north. Let's not talk about the GTX.

But if you buy Canadian online, then their prices are less gougy.

They go for around $100 USD on [H], so I'd list it for around $115-120 CAD.
