Fair prices

[countzero]

a friendly reminder to gavilan : If you stick by ami junkis prices, you'll never be able to buy hardware  :-P

I respect his opinions and hardware being old ans such, but reality is that everything in that list goes 2, 3 or 4 times the prices he has there (with the exception of Retina Z2 I think, which is just fair.)

by the way, Retina Z2 doesn't have picasso96 or cybergraphx drivers, so you have to stick with its RetinaRTG drivers which kind of sucks. That's why it's considerably less valuable than other boards. Picasso II is gold, cause it's one of the best graphic cards that work on Z2. A lot of people hunt that one. Retina Z3, while having picasso 96 drivers (unlike Z2) not very desirable because it lacks pass through port. And itdoesn't work on Z2. Cybervision 64 is the best budget Z3 graphics board. I consider Picasso IV in its own class entirely, which is great value considering the AGA scandoubler it has and Z2/Z3 compatibility.

The guy who bought this is a complete sucker. He could buy a more capable card as new with only few extra euros !

 

:rtfm: Please don't start to discuss these prices, that's what people have been paying at that time, that was the question here. Of course there are many other auctions, which ended lower or even higher, again, these few are just some real-world examples.

why not discuss the prices ? I think everybody has the right to state their opinion about what hardware costs these days. Why does it bother you so much ? were you seller of these stuff ?

one more thing I would add ... cybervision 64 is a better card than cybervision 3d (unless 3d has scandoubler, which is a 16 bit scandoubler anyway).
