It's astonishing how well the V750 has held its value (technically appreciated, ignoring inflation) over the last 14 years. The machine retailed for $800 new in 2006. It retails now for >$1K.

Stunning for a Firewire/USB 2.0 device.

Im seeing lots on ebay for $350ish.

I have a 4870... sitting on a shelf idle for years. (also has firewire) Ive thought about getting rid of it for years, but its gonna take $50 to ship anywhere.
