Valicious

I recently reevaluated my finances, and came to the dreadful realization that I'm not nearly on track as I thought I was. Next summer I'm scheduled to have a critical (expensive) medical procedure next July, and the prospects of being able to pay for it is looking pretty grim right now.

It deeply saddens me, but I'm going to be selling quite a few of my belongings in an attempt to make at least some progress toward my goal. My folding gear, and probably even my computer, being chiefly among the first to go. I've been really debating between as to where I stand to make the most, ebay or OCN, but I would really like to keep the folding gear in the family if nothing else

My biggest problem I'm having is with prices. I am aware that 9800GX2s are quite valued in the F@H community, but not nearly as much elsewhere. I thought I'd ask here, rather than in the appraisal section, because of this fact.

Folding@Home has played a tremendous part in my life over the past year, not only for being able to contribute toward research on many diseases including mine, but also because of the incredible community and friendships I have had the privilege to be a part of. I hope that I can still be as active in this great community as ever, and that I am able to rejoin the folding ranks in the future.


Please check out my thread on MDA in the Overclockers Care section. If I am no longer able to fold, I feel I should at least attempt to raise awareness.

A LOT of people have requested I post my paypal address because they want to send a few bucks my way

Here's what I have listed so far. Check back for updates, there's a LOT more to come

Video Cards
All prices are shipped to the continental US. If you live somewhere else, send me a message and we'll talk shipping.

Four (4) EVGA 9800GX2s - $200 each
These cards are folding beasts. They are sold naked (no plastic shell), but this is better anyway because cuts down on heat a ton.
PICTURE!


Sealed BFG GTX280 - SIGNED and SOLD to sparky79
Another great folding card. I just got this back from an RMA with BFG and never even opened it yet.

Evga 7950GT KO 512MB with 2 dvi ports and 1 s-video (512-P2-N635-BR) $30
Was an RMA replacement for a 7900GT, only been used a few months.
*donated to sale by Clockadile Dundee*

Power Supplies
Due to how heavy PSUs are, the buyer needs to pay shipping. I've lowered the prices a bit though.

OCZ ModXStream Pro 700w - Sold to franz
I just ordered this from newegg less than a month ago. I still even have the box and everything for it. You gotta love modular, so much less clutter.

Two (2) COOLER MASTER Real Power Pro 750w - $70 each one sold to Contagion, one left!
These are great PSUs for a folding rig. I love how their boxes they come in have a handle, and I still have both too.

Memory
All prices are shipped to the continental US. If you live somewhere else, send me a message and we'll talk shipping.

G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 800 $50
Sticks have been working solid in my folding rig the entire time I've had them. I still even have the plastic packaging for them too.

CORSAIR DOMINATRIX 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 1066 $150
Just got this back from RMA as well. This RAM is a beast.

Motherboards
All prices are shipped to the continental US. If you live somewhere else, send me a message and we'll talk shipping.

MSI K9A2 Platinum pending to epic century
Board is fresh back from RMA. I haven't even opened it yet.


Still to come...

RCA RT2300 Home Theater Set (I have no freakin' clue what to price this at)
tablet that's less than a month old (top of the line too )
4gb Corsair Dominatrix RAM

AMD Phenom 9850
Sunbeam CoreContact Freezer CPU cooler
4gb GSkill 800 RAM
my sig rig (sans the GX2s)
Foxconn A79A-S

That sucks but ya' gotta do what ya' gotta do.

I hope you get everything on track and I'm sure you'll be back to folding before too long.

i'll tell everyone i know, i wish i had money to afford this. most important though, is that you get well soon, i know how tough surgery can be, i just had MINOR surgery and i couldn't do much for 2 weeks. you are a very brave and generous person, i hope one day you can start folding again when you're all better. good luck my friend, i'll try to do all i can.

This is why I cant understand why most Americans dont want a system like the NHS over here in the UK.

Or maybe im missing something?

You've done a lot for folding already, I'm hoping everything comes together for you & we can see you back in the fold real soon. Good luck on the sales...

I'd gladly sign them if that's what someone wants. I'm not famous or anything, my signature is hardly worth raising the price any.
