Yeah, I know. I just wrote him an e-mail (he had no phone number), and pointed out that it was too expensive. A card similar to his, from the local hardware store would be the HD6870 1GB OC, and the prices are not too far from a brand new, and his second hand one.

And thanks for pointing that out to me, the age of the card, since he wrote it was 1½ years old.

However...
Is it smarter, for me, not to be too hasty and buy it because it is good? If I save some cash I could actually afford the 7850, and not only that, I was counting - I could perhaps even manage to afford the 2Gb model of the 7850..
