Do you guys ever pay for overpriced cards?

u2konline · Feb 20, 2009, 08:44 PM

Who else besides me like to pay for a video card and its high in price, but you can't wait for a sale to happen and you just rush out and grab it haha

I have my eye on my last pci card which i plan to get and its 105 dollars , i am so temp to buy it right now, i really can't control myself

, i might end up buying it tonight or sometime tomorrow or sun.

i am going to buy it tho, just waiting for a sale to happen, but fu** i really want it.

PCI card for $105 = why don't u buy another system.

Save up first, $105 for a small boost is not worth it so

I do not usually spend money on over priced products , did it ones because i forced by the "Last fast AGP VGA " song .
Spend 340EUR for one Nvidia 6800GT , but my patience payed out , the HD3850 has triple power , and costs three times less .

but yea small boost , middle boost, i am a sucker for buying high price cards haha

I have 600 bucks to spend on whatever i want right now, i just wanted to get done with buying one last pci card, but its 100 bucks man.

Thats cool. I have patience, but for video cards no. If i am in the store, and i see something i want and i have the cash on me and there is no sale in sight, i will buy it fast. i hate waiting around for stuff.

Stop wasting your time..he's been told many, many times and never listens.

ZenZimZaliben · Feb 20, 2009, 09:10 PM

u2konline are you really wanting people to find out your location? Is that a challenge? Would you be upset if I told you I know? I wont post if you don't want.

Let's not get into Social Studies but this is not a place to give away personal info. BTW, 1degree of longitude/latitude is too big.

Exactly. WHy ask for someone to post this. I didnt even have to ask. But the fact that he wanted someone to find him was just a challenge I couldnt pass up.
