    So what do you think is the best way to sell off a vid card

    For all of you people who routinely sell things online, what do you think is the best way to sell a vid card I have laying around? I figure I can ebay it or list it here, but in terms of payments is it best to only take money orders or try to set up a pay pal account.

    I am not planning on routinely selling parts, and this just happens to be one relatively high end part that is a new OEM but not returnable. I am not going to list what it is, as this isnt a sale column and I am only seeking advice.

    Thanks.
    Welcome my son, welcome to the machine...Where have you been? It's alright we know where you've been....

    Carefully take it out of box, take pictures of all the sides, and take a picture of everything included. Be sure that you have really good lighting too.

    I absolutely HATE it when sellers do that. If an item is new, leave it as such! Don't go around getting your sticky fingers all over the merchandise!

    Since it's a video card and it will be inside the machine, it really doesn't matter what the card itself looks like as long as it works.

    I would just find some pics from the manufacturer site and put those in the ad.

    Also, for payment, I would just go with paypal. You'll get a wider audience and hence, more bids!

    So what effect will it have that the card came directly from the reseller in one of their boxes rather than the original packaging. It came directly from _______ and was just in the static bag, with instructions to download the drivers from their website. (Sorry about the blank but until something is resolved with that company I dont want to state which one it is.)

    Additionally, since its a vid card for a laptop, will that effect the ability to be used in other brands of laptops or is it interchangable.

    i agree with passwird to not touch it if it is new, but i was assuming that is was slightly used. be sure to blow off all dust.

    I would never do that. Take your own picks, pictures from the manufacture site is a red flag for scams.
