It's an engineering sample of a 486 overdrive. If you want to sell it, let me know

Its an engineering sample of the ODP(169 pin) 486DX2-66.
I've only ever heard of three of them.

thats what ive kept it in all these years with a couple of dallas rtc's i seemed to be forever changing at the time. i remember going to the auctions looking for 387's to upgrade peoples machines with lol
heres the back of the cpu.
ive got tons of stuff kicking about only last week someone traded a p4 1.4 in for a laptop (im repairing them now) thats got the old rambus dimms in it and is a complete working machine, i know those cpus were quite rare as well as they didnt have much of a production run.
Let me know your thoughts on the value of the overdrive if you dont mind. i may have to start digging through all my old stuff in the loft!! (ive got tons of it only recently closed my pc shop due to a car accident).
got some 128mb 72pin simms kicking about somewhere i kept as they were worth tons when i was upgrading the old 486's lol.

On april 20 2008 one Q695 where sold on eBay at $139. Since we are a small collecting community its impossible to say if this is the value of your chip, after one sold chip. The other guy who bid up to $139 perhaps got a chip like this later on, and the third person bidding stopped at $20.
So, as i always say about eBay prices... see it as a fact to draw your own conclusions from.

That's exactly why I think posting maximum eBay prices is pointless. It makes some sellers think they should charge super-high prices for chips which some of us may otherwise get for much more sensible prices...
No problem if someone wants to pay super-high prices, of course, it just sems to me that it provides a means to increase the cost of being a collector.
Personally, I would bid $20 for this on eBay and hope to acidentally win it, but if I had the money (which I don't right now) I would payup to $50.

So if i understand what you are saying... i should stop logging and posting eBay prices? In your opinion im only doing bad to the collecting hobby by raising prices?
There is no value for me personally to keep track of this data and post it on the web.

I think logging it and having the log publicly availale is great, I just don't think it helps the communuity if maximum prices are posted here when people want an idea of what they might sell something for. That applies all the more if there is only one recorded sale. After all, how many people will look at the highest price paid and want to pay that much? I'm sure itt's less than the number of sellers who will want to sell at that price...
That is only an opinion. Of course, there are going to be people who will still pay that maximum price and will be grateful it is not higher, I just hope that doesn't cause too many uncommon chips to end up with prices like LZF tries to charge

I don't think you shoud stop... but to come to a compromise and make it available only to members.
I think a members only section of CPU-World is needed (and I know it has been discussed before). That way, rip-off merchant traders can't just type in a part number and watch the $$$ scrolling on their monitor. Now the eBay price would be a guide price for the buyer... not a 'target price' for the seller. |

I think it is totally useful to keep track of ebay prices, I do that as well for comparison purposes "although" they do not necessarily reflect the actual market price of the item.
On the other hand, is there really a market price for these collectible items anyway? I believe that us, collectors, have to act responsibly before purchasing chips off auctions, keeping in mind that our bidding behavior may jack up the prices of similar items. Recently I have noticed people on this forum, asking for extras of sold out chips while offering double the asking price, on which I strongly disagree.
I would pay max $50 for this item however if I am not mistaken this ES is missing a pin, which changes the whole story. |

The only thing I think could be done differently is that auctions with less than three bids should be included in the data base , as i have bought chips at much lower prices then what is listed on the database , but I couldnt submit them since there werent more bids. In my opinion someone payed such and such a price for a particular chip and just because they didnt get into a bidding war doesnt make the price they payed less realistic.

I agre with what donutty said.
We get people who subscribe, post about one or two chips or have a batch of chips to sell, get our advice on the best price they can get, then they disappearand are never heard from again.
An area wher we can discuss what we might pay for an item without new sellers having the same access could be of more benefit
