5850 toxic's?

Hey guys what do you think I could sell my 5850's toxic's for? I've never sold any of my hardware.. I usually give it to friends and family to upgrade there pc's, but I have a baby on the way and I don't want to spend a lot of money to upgrade gpu's.. I want at the very least a GTX670.. So, do you think I could get $200 ea for my 5850's? Or whats a fair price? Thanks!

EDIT: I have the org boxes

Think closer to $100/$125 is where you'd be at honestly, using your logic I could ask $200+ for my 5870

Unfortunately the resale market for these cards is not very "profittable"

Congratz on the baby!

I'd say that's spot-on, with the exception of the Bitcoiners and the 5 series is very attactive to them. You could probablly fetch $150-$175... Though I do see some going for as low as $100 on ebay.

Thanks for the quick response guys! I like your numbers better erocker.. lol I'd just give them to family and friends at 100 ea. Graphic cards are crazy high it seems lately.. I hope prices start dropping soon.

5850/5870 are still pretty good cards, at 16 x 10 or less they could prolly manage anything with ease just might have to back thingz down a bit @ 19 x 10. Maybe I should try and flip my 5870....

I just scooped 7950 tf3 for $320 AR

I paid $125 for a non-ref 5850 6 months ago. Stock clocks though. You should be able to get $125-150 for the toxics.
