    So, i didnt put this in the Sale forum since its not set in stone, nor do i have pictures. But basically, im gonna be upgrading my systems CPU and GPU and wondering what, if anything, people might buy them for. Cuz, I DO get trade-in credit from who im upgrading through, however, I'm not sure if i'd make more selling it so some1 who needs an xtra 7950 or through ebay. So im just curious. Basically, i can go from a E6700 to Q9450 for 250$, and 7950gtx to 8800gtx for 500$. Wat you guys think?

    and i posted it here cuz i dunno what other computer manufacturers can even use an xtra 7950, or a desktop processor, except D901c users :p

    So you wanna sell your 7950GTX for 250$ ? dirt cheap.
    I`d suggest eBay. But make it 300$, or else I won`t be able to sell it for more than 250$ lol :D

    yea.. i noticed u can get an 8800 for 750... so that would only be getting 250... so that would be dirt cheap for a 7950. but theres no guarantee ill get over 250 either.

    Post it on eBay and start an auction, from 300 and above. The GTX deserves no less.

    I got 375.00 for my 7950 gtx go selling it through the BST forums here. That was about a month ago. *shrugs* I have to say I was very happy to be able to offset some of the cost of that 745.00 8800M heh.
