Indeed, there are at least 4 faults in the auction. The seller said the card has a TV-Out, but look at the picture : No TV-Out.
Then : 128MB, DVI, AGP 8x 

The seller is also talking about Voodoo 3 3500.

When looking at the auction it is one big mess and that makes it unreliable.

I had several auctions which I never received, which we're different or we're closed before the auction ended.
It's very frustrating, but try to live with it. The world isn't as sweet as it sometimes looks like  

Somewhat understandable though, I'd hate that happen to me once, let alone three times

Anyway, I'm sure (with being such an active Collector) better times will follow and there'll be the one or other nice new aquisition to show

Just don't let yourself down over it, bad luck always tends to come in loads, but eventually has to yield to success coming back sooner or later !

yeah you are right Edmund, he got his refund anyways so there are like worse things in this harsh world.

I see your point gamma,
I know... at the end of the day,
it leaves the least significants for us members here on the forum.
And sometime to get into a heated talk just isn't worth it.

We all know that, but the person who initializes it should think twice before posting something nasty..

I mean we are all very greatful that the moderators aren't banning or locking threads based on its nature.
so thats about as good as it gets and really...

as adults, we should keep things in order
just the way I see it. Obviously if u get blasted on a thread, you tend to retaliate if u disagree..

I don't care where you buy your cards from, you are always vulnerable to problem-riddled auctions.  The fact that some sellers are not as clued up about 3dfx products as we are, is not there fault.  We have to give them some slack, as they may no absolutely nothing about any computer components, let alone a 3dfx-specific graphics card.  It's your job to be more inquisitive before you bid, and also assure yourself, you know what you are buying, without the assurance of others.

Like Gary said, you saw the title of the auction you bid on.  Any other 3dfx seller would be dubious of it.  Maybe this is a lack of 3dfx expertise on your part then.

Frankly, I am well pissed off at you for this.  This is no joke whatsoever, and you should not have even thought about posting this, even if you admit yourself it was a joke.  
How does the awful tragedy of what happened in London, compare to your disappointment over 3 graphics cards.  You seriously need to grow up and take a realistic look on life!

And of all people, how dare you post such a comment, given your nation's background history, you should be the first to be watch your words carefully, be mindful of what's happened and have sympathy to those who fell victim to the atrocities.  Along with this comment and your anger for GB sellers of 3dfx cards, your state of thinking seems somewhat pathetic and primitive, as it doesn't seem to have left the era of the 1940's.

You are obviously a bad apple in the bunch, as all your other fellow patriots do not seem to post to such similar disrespectful methods as you do.  This means you let them down too.  

And for anyone who understands his anger towards his unsuccessfull auctions, I'm sorry, but I do not appease with such sentiment, since his prior faux pax on the bombings simply overrules such felt sympathy.

Yesterday was yet another great day in London and for the rest of Britain and the World, as we celebrated a combination of ceremonies in the 60th anniversary of VE and VJ day.  A celebration of ridding the world of evil and tyranny 60 years ago.  Today, we continue that same quest against the cowardly actions of spineless terrorists that don't have the nerve to face us like men.  However, once again, we will succeed in ridding the world of these bastards.

yeah...let us talk about 3dfx cards! use PM or email for this sub-topic please...

i DO NOT want to be reminded every day what happened 60 years ago...so do me a favor and use other ways of communication!

I agree that joke was a bit uncalled for and certainly occured not quite at the right moment/place.

Still, bare in mind that every single day, a hundredfold more people die a silent, unspectacular death all over the world, from lack of water, lack of food or simple diseases.

Almost noone cares about these, their death goes unnoticed, which (at least for me) puts alot of things in our beatiful modern world into perspective.
