It's honestly ridiculous how overpriced many eBay buy it now items are. I recently purchased a Transformers figure that was selling for over 40 USD Buy it Now, but I managed to get it in an auction for 10.50 USD. And I know what you mean by there was a time when these things weren't even rare. I remember seeing the Dino-Riders T-Rex in stores when I was a kid and I mean it was expensive but I would never have dreamed it would be worth over 500 USD 20 yrs later. The thought always upsets me when I think I could have bought like 5 of these and sell them for a quick buck 20 yrs later, but then again, I'd be no better than the guy selling the Pachyrhinosaurus for 2 K EUR...

I'm like some people ask just too much for something that isn't even 50 times as rare as a rare 3dfx prototype... a Voodoo5 6000 sells now sometimes for 2000 ah 2100 euro's also but even so for a Rev.A 3700 a model where about 49 have been found it's just not worth that amount, more like 1250 euro's max imho but then again same type of thing I did sell my 6000 for 1700 euro's about 8 months ago so even I could place myself in the same position as the Pachyrhino seller. here's my previous 3dfx Prototype collection including the Voodoo5 6000: My Old 3dfx Best The buyer said I buy it for 2400 euro's I said no no and no, I don't want to be known as the hypacrit that sold his 6K for such an overdose, I said 1500 and I am happy, he said 2000 , come on it has to be worth that much, which gave me the idea this guy must of been brainwashed from other sellers with insane prices I said 1700 euro's and that's it, live with it I don't want to be seen as an insane seller for such a cool card. and he did agree , anyways now that I have returned to 3dfx collecting I kinda found out that back then because of my Traumatic Depressive Syndrome I just sold a collection that was very worthy to me, almost sold all the DR models as well, that luckily didn't happen. So here's my 3dfx collection for now it is getting it's shape back again The New Voodoo's Anyways having the Voodoo5 5000 back for a lot less than I sold it is at least a good start in the right direction

I've never known that much about computers. My brother had always been the computer savvy one in the family, but I really had no idea ppl collected VGA cards and at such a high prices as well. Good lord. And I thought starting out a DR collection was expensive! I've got an ATI All in Wonder if anyone's interested looool. That probably isn't worth anything...sigh...I guess I'm not at the point of calling myself an avid collector just yet. Dino Riders was the first line of vintage toys that I've actually really been interested in. And all that because as a kid I never got to fulfill my dream which was to own the T-Rex. And even now, my DR collection is pretty weak, but it's a start nonetheless and the T-Rex really is as cool as I imagined it to be. There's just something about this guy. I mean, without a doubt the dinosaur sculpt alone is nowhere as accurate and visually appealing as the Jurassic Park JP 09 T-Rex, but even so, with the armor and weaponry equipped, this thing just kicks ass. Someone on eBay right now is selling it with the box and no doubt the price will rise to over 400 USD, but I think it would still be more worth it than the Pachyrhinosaurus (if we imagined their prices as being equivalent), cuz I mean let's face it, the main reason people want the Pachyrhino is because it was a rare series 3 piece whereas coveting the Rex is mainly and simply because it's badass. And I believe there's a point to be made about that. I mean that Voodoo5 5000 AGP 32MB Rev.A0 3700 that you were talking about, sure it was an extremely rare piece, but surely that wasn't the only reason you wanted it. I think there has to be something other than an object's rarity to compel someone to desire a particular collector's item. Otherwise, your collection lacks personality. Take my DR collection. I don't plan to get all the pieces. Although I admit one of the major reasons is my financial status, the main one would be that I don't particularly enjoy every single piece. There's a select few that I find amazing and worth collecting and I'll be happy with that. On a separate note, we need more ppl like you. Ppl who actually bargain with buyers to LOWER the price. You need to increase your progeny and teach them your values LOL. I'm just saying, it's rare to find that kind of honesty. If only I could meet someone like that who's selling a DR Brontosaurus or a Steg . Oh and by the way, did you really suffer from Traumatic Depressive Syndrome? Or was that a joke? I can't quite read social cues as adequately through text. Anyhow, if you really did, I'm sorry to hear that, but it sounds like you're steadily getting back on the right track and surely much stronger than when you started out.

Here's my entire research if you are willing to read it @ V6K Team 3dfx Voodoo5 5000 Research Topic Here the Voodoo5 5000 AGP's info Tab which worked succesfully under 98SE _ UnOfficial Service Pack 2.03NL:) Under 2K and XP I get this problem heh : And adding that Vendor ID in the drivers' 3dfxvs,dll file does help a little but the card only works in single chip and it seems that when using the card under a NT based OS there seems to be a broken SLI orsay the possibility that alows Dual Chip does not function, I think it has something to do with the Bios of the card that it's not programmed to be supported under such Operating Systems. Such things make me want these rare cards to reveal their secrets, these are Prototypes that actually never left the Labs so for that part it can also be a reason to have, as the Voodoo5 5000 Interest me most with the 3dfx part but I do respect others with theyr production models also really every 3dfx card is cool but the Prototypes are seen as the specials hehe But getting back to the Topic since I can talk about 3dfx for ages really. You are looking for a Bronto or Stego? look on ebay.de , ebay.com.au and ebay.co.uk they do have some sales of those variants Here's a boxed T-Rex heh the price is exaggerating though for a production model even if sealed, My parrents bought me mine back in 1987 for my birthday, it was 99 Australian Dollars back then which was alot for back then Sealed T-Rex I actually always wondered why Tyco changed the Color of the T-rex, the Green / Tan color would of suited it better as the DR script goes.

But the trouble is that every seller on ebay knows that a 3rd series or a rare like T-Rex Dino Riders, even more if it's MIB, and more more if it's a MISB with great box quality, will go one day or an other at the huge price. First time I was about to buy a Pachy, I gave up at arourd 300 euros (400 dollars) because it was too costy for me. Since there, I've seen them sold each time Higher: 500, 700, even around 850 euros for an AFA graded 80 or 90 I don't remember. So we are at the end of 2008, and I still don't have any Pachy, and each time one is sold, I know the next one will be 100 or 200 euros/dollars higher. I'm more than OK with you, but as soon as I'll have the money for, I'll pay one twice or more the money I could have buy the first one I missed, and this is the same for most of the DR fans, and the trouble is that sellers know it. So I don't know what to think. This is crap, but there is no way out, excepting from giving up the idea to get all the DR...
