Default Appraisal: Matrox Parhelia 128mb graphics card

So, I have a Matrox Parhelia 128mb AGP graphics card here. This is one of those multi-monitor cards, as Matrox is known for, and I want to know how much you guys think it's worth. I'm regretting not selling it a long time ago, as its value has degraded a LOT I'm sure. It was $450+ new when I first looked at it and meant to sell it, but I'm guessing now it's around $60-$100 used.

Anyways, what would you value this card at? I'm guessing $70-$75, as it's a bit used but in perfect condition. I don't have it here on me, but it comes with a digital to vga adapter and the splitter for dual monitors. It works well, with both single and dual monitors.

This is not a gaming card, I'm sad to say. It runs games I suppose, but there are some will not run at all. I had to swap to my Radeon 9000 just to play BF2 because it would crash with the Matrox. Just warning you guys, this isn't made for gaming.

So, what's it worth?

Thanks in advance!

Its not as good a gaming card as a 9700 Pro, but I think that would be the wrong market TBH.

If you can find someone who does 2D and video-editing apps, probs $60?

Yeah it's not for gaming at all. I had to swap it for this Radeon 9000 (which I got for free as well...) just so that I could play BF2. It wasn't that the Matrox was worse, but it was not supported and would not run BF2. The game would crash after the splash image.
