What is the most overpriced used tech deal you have ever seen?

Chuck Norris

Strike 7 keyboard, I've heard it's a membrane keyboard that costs 300. I could be wrong though

Im currently overseas in Brunei (where?)

Classified ads are hilarious here. saw an old lcd tv being sold for over 1000$. even if they paid above that then, its not worth it now.

and the local electronics retailer was seriously offering 560tis for almost 1500$ NEW (Bruneis currency is like .75 cents to a canadian dollar)

Some knob wanted 150 bucks for a pair of used skullcandy headphones. Can't remember which, but they looked like overdesigned 2kool4skool frail plastic monstrosities. I think I'd have been better off shoving the money up my own ass. Needless to say I declined.

$250 for an 8800 GTX

Well GTX 8800 > GTX 780 ... its bigger number so it has to be better .. duh! It is actualy underpriced because 780 costs twice as much.

 

This is overpriced in my opinion:

Razer DeathStalker Ultimate keyboard .. 240 € .. the heck?

Anything made by Apple really... The resell value is way too high because of sheeples willing to buy anything Apple, even old iPhone 1 for hundreds of dollar, when it's totally not worth that much anymore and you can get a much better android phone for that price.

This local woman wants $38 for a 2001 Compaq Presario 5310US Celeron 1.2 GHz 256MB RAM (yes, megabytes!!!!) 40GB UltraDMA w/ monitor, mouse and keyboard.

 

SOCKET 370!!!!! P3 Era!!! This thing is less than worthless. it might be in the negatives!!!

 

The keyboard is sweet, so i'm trying to get it off her for nickels. Also the monitor is from 2005, but it be good for my linux laptop.

Not overpriced at all...  256mb RAM isn't rare either.
