What's an appropriate price for buying a GTX 480?

[RezidentSeagull]

Like the title says, what's an appropriate price for a GTX 480 Fermi graphics card these days? I kinda want to buy a reference one as a collection piece, partially because it has a unique cooler design and partially because it's infamous for its heat issues, and I'd like to know what seems reasonable to most people. I'm Canadian, so CAD pricing would be nice.

Is that USD? Because that would be an awesome price to find one. So far though, I've only been seeing listings as low as $59.99 (not including shipping from US to Canada, yikes), and in one insanely-hilarious case, $250 CAD.

Nothing?

 

Seriously the GTX 480 was a notoriously bad product even when it released... 30 dollars absolute max.

Haha, yeah, I read the reviews from the era and it was... yeah.

for $30, I could get not only getting a neat aesthetic piece but I ALSO get a cooking grill? #valuebuy

Less than 30$ Edit: You can get 580 for 30$ so why get a 480?

I have two Gigabyte windforce GTX 560 Ti's they would probably work as a nice collection piece...  CAD $40.00 /ea you pay shipping (unless you live in Vancouver)  if interested haha.

Pretty much purely for aesthetics, honestly.

Huh, you know weirdly enough, I think I have actually seen your EXACT craiglist ad, since I live in the Lower Mainland area...!

 

I don't really need a 560TI, but if I do need one, I'll definitely send you a message!

that card can double as a furnace during winter.

Just wanna let you know in my experience you can pick up a 560 ti for 25 USD shipped so if you can talk down that guy it would be worth it.
