It's good to know that graphics cards only depreciated slightly in 23 years.

My favorite quote from the description...
"My only way out is placing it on eBay to try and find it a home or a collector that knows the real value of true historical electronics piece of art."

These days a lot of people overvalue this sort of stuff and make themselves look stupid trying to sell it on eBay.

I remember I paid 300 Mark/150 Euro for 1 MB of memory around the same time.
So now I have a box on my attic I could trade for a brand new Corvette.
