Older series cards almost never go down in price more then 30 bucks when the new series comes out

one word "craigslist"

 

 

people immediately throw their last years card out for the next gen model.

I've gotten used video cards from Newegg before. They work the way they should. Of course, you may have a negative experience just like with any other product, whether brand new or used.

But... but the smell :(

Maybe we should create "new computer smell" cologne. Put on the container "warning: this may drive the ladies away."
