    Graphics card sold for $96,100 on Ebay!?

    Wow!

    http://www.cinemablend.com/games/AMD...Bay-54868.html

    The engineering sample of the card was let loose by eBay user wowbagger1234. He initially started selling the device for $30,000 but that price was curb-stomped by a lot of big eBay players who brought the final bid to a massive $96,100.

    The user who won the card on eBay originally bid $40,000 even on the card, but was quickly outbid by about a dozen other users. Finally, the winner retracted his original bid and then clocked it up a notch to $96,100. Impressive.


    I need to sell an old ATI 4870 if anyone is interested!?
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Far more money than sense!

    Couldn't they just wait until it was released next week? You could buy a whole truckload of the same card for that much dosh.
