For those of you who think I would probably get closer to my goal if I sell, this may be true, however I would like to try and trade first. If it indeed seems that it is not going to happen, then I would be willing to sell. Give me a couple of weeks (unless my patience gets the better of me). Also I am really fond of these cards and they have actually been going for $85+ on ebay so I if I sold them I would actually ask $100 each. Some of you may think that is high, and that is fine with me, don't buy them and don't post negative comments either. If I do put them up for sale at least you have an idea of what I will want out of them. If they don't sell at that price, that is fine too. They make "ok" folding cards and they sure can play the heck out of some games in quad crossfire.

Agreed. I'd love to have those cards.

I also see you used the FireFox spell checker, while trying to spell definitely.
I do that all the time, and it always corrects it to "defiantly".

Just a friendly tip, I think you are going to have better luck with selling the cards than with trading. People say "it doesn't hurt to try" but I am head of sales at a local computer shop and if people feel like you are trying to offer them a "raw deal", like trading "down" so to speak from the 4870 to the 3870 they can get turned off and not even contemplate something else, like a sale.
Don't take this advice the wrong way, I am really just trying to help you.

You will be first on the list when sale time comes.

Let me know when you have buyers for all 4.

You will indeed be second on the list when sale time comes.

Thanks for the tip and no offense taken. I completely understand where you are coming from though, but there was really nothing to lose by trying. All four of these cards in corssfire out bench two 4870's in everything I have been able to compare. To be honest, most of the time, three of these cards out bench two 4870s so I know these are good cards and hopefully others realize it as well.

EDIT:

If I get another person interested in buying the fourth card I will probably sell them. However it will be at least a week before I can start letting them go so I will have the extra funds available to put toward the purchase of the 4870's.

For some reason the though of having four separate video cards in a single case and using them for one display boggles my mind haha!

Best of luck selling them!

Will put me on the list for the forth one.

**BenBrown** · 10-27-08

Well for the four guys that want to buy the cards, consider them yours. I will change the thread title and OP to reflect that they are Pending Sale. I will send PM's to those who wanted them.

**BenBrown** · 10-29-08

Still have one of the cards for sale, who wants it?

**BenBrown** · 10-31-08

Surely someone needs a 3870.

**BenBrown** · 11-02-08

Buy Me!

**BenBrown** · 11-03-08

Boxed up and ready to go people.
