eBay will most likely get you above $200.

One review calls this "the kitchen sink" motherboard because it has so many features.These boards went for over 500.00 new.The wi-fi being out is not good but this is the best X58 that ASUS made.I would hate to see it go for less than 250.00.Perfect board ought to fetch 300.00+.There is nothing at all wrong with socket 1366,except the "end of life" issue.

EDIT: what you should do is RMA this board and present it as a "just RMAed" product.We have another in the marketplace that is a fresh RMA going for 300.00.I as a customer would be concerned with RMA rejection,you as the seller should remove this obstacle.

300$ is way too much. Specs wise, it's not THAT different from the RIIIE... 150$ is the absolute max for it, there are better platforms for a bit more.

Appraisal: Asus Rampage III Black Edition

Picked these up for my TRON Legacy theme build. Got the optional light bar upgrade kit(s). Note, for a quad channel package you will need two light bar kits as each covers two sticks. No issues...

I honestly love this cooler, but I think I'm gonna move on to another one soon, it just looks... A bit to bland compared to other flaming red (literally) coolers on the market.

Metro 2033 is one of the greatest FPS games ever made. Although not usually recognized as such, due to the horrible state the gaming industry is in, it succeeds largely on its storytelling,...

This is an update of the original Fractal Design Arc Midi. The solid left panel has been replaced by a panel with a plexiglass window and the top USB ports are now USB-3.0. Let me state at the...

I've used this headset extensively for MAG on PS3. The sounds were wonderful, the mic was crisp, and the ability to adjust peoples voice volume is absolutely invaluable. For $100 ( or less ) this...
