    Thats a wicked ripoff for your friend.

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130318
    Theyre $145 each new at the egg, and quite easy to overclock to 675.

    Or...
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130335
    if your not into overclocking. These are 700mhz, and $200.

    So, go ahead and take it if you would like.

    I hate to sound like the moral police, but you'd be selling your friendship as well.

    Just take the money, buy yourself two brand new ones that are better, take the $200 you have left over and offer it to his sister for sexual favors. You never know, for $200 she might even let you stick her in the pooper. AAAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAAA
    Boy that info was old. As am I. Currently my kids have taken over my desktops. They are both sporting matching GTX1080's. Last Christmas I got everyone Oculuses and thus GTX1080's. My eldest is some sort of CSGO champion gold label something or other. Me I work and shoot real guns. Build Comps as needed.

    You could sell them, buy the same setup again, and make around $300 doing it. What are you waiting for?

    For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream.

    But it doesn't make sense on the practical side either, forget the moral side. If he is in the market for those cards (and knows how to build is hardware) it seems inevitable that he will find out that he has been taken advantage of. You will lose your friend, and if he tells your other friends you will get a bad reputation (and possibly lose more friends).

    The next time you want to sell, or perhaps buy from friends, you will find it harder.

    i woulda took the money, but a more fair sum. hes got them overclocked... the more expensive OCed 8800gt run about 250 retail with no rebate. so take $500. almost enough for the gx2, andyou can sleep well at night. he can throw in free installtion, driver setup and overclocking since his buddy doesnt seem to know anything about hardware.
