I wasn't saying that all PIV's sell for $600. I said I saw one sell for that amount within the last week. If having the original box, paperwork, and bag makes one museum quality then I have about 3 musuem quality PIV's. Like it or not they are a hot item right now. Yes, I have seen a couple slip through in the $300 range, but I see many more in the past year go for $400 to $450. 2 years ago they were selling in the $200 to $250 range. They don't anymore. Last summer I needed one to complete a project and bid over $400 dollars on two seperate PIV's within about a weeks time and got neither one. I wasn't even runner up on either of them. Both went if I remember correctly for almost $500.
The point I was trying to make was that the card very well might be worth the purchase price he paid for the entire computer. I still believe that. I repeat, he did very well on that purchase.
