Googling the card results in prices around $240, which is ridiculous for a card this old.

I'm thinking something around $80-100 is a fair price- what do folks think?
I no longer have the box or manual, but do have a DVI and VSA cable.
It's been in a static free plastic case for a few years, safely in storage.

Thanks.

One of my favorite resources for used non-ebay h/w (besides SimHQ) is OCN (I've bought h/w from members there and sold some as well):

You can see some 4870s both in the appraisals and for sale in the video card subforum.
