Hey guys,

 

I won this card as a prize a couple of weeks ago, and after dangling it as an incentive to get my mates to build a computer/upgrade to a half decent one and get off their silly X-Stations and Playboxes, no takers. And, I've had a think about it, and a GTX 950 seems a tad overkill for a upgrade to a computer that doesn't do anything except web browsing and the Sims 4, and a downgrade from my 970. Buuuuuuuut it might be enough to help me fund a 980 or shinier.

 


 

So, here's link to what it actually is, and the box bundle promo is for World of Warships access or some such, I haven't looked too deeply into it.

 


 


 

So, feel free to make me offers, I think it works out to about $12 to ship it in a bubble-wrapped bag across the North Island, and I THINK I was looking at about $20 for South Island. I'm looking for reasonable offers, not silly low-bally stuff, but I'd ideally like to nab $250 and postage. Or if you're in the greater Hamilton area, let me know and I might be able to drop it off or meet you somewhere in my daily travels.




Anything I say is the ramblings of an ill informed, opinionated so-and-so, and not representative of any of my past, present or future employers, and is also probably best disregarded.

Hey, have you listed a price, location and how much shipping would be to other parts of New Zealand? Also if you are asking for a PM make sure your Privacy settings allow your account to receive PM otherwise people can't contact you. Also note if you are selling something we ask you to offer to other members first. Links to private sales (including Trade Me posts) aren't accepted anymore and will be removed.

Bumping the thread - want the card gone before it gathers dust and becomes a fixture, will drop the price to $230 posted within the North Island.

Do you still have this? If so how much benefit would I see from upgrading from my 750TI?

Did you win it at Armageddon?
If so did you speak to a promo guy with tattoos that knew nothing about the card?

A moderate improvement, but sadly the card has gone to my mates' bosses' child labourer. And nah, I won it at the nVidia fan event, the night before Armageddon. The bloke who ranthat at least was up to date with the promo material.

I had to educate my mate a little for that promo. 
He seemed to do fine from what i hear.
