ATI trade-up

[pam123]

Has anyone here ever used this ?
What's ATI's idea of "a substantial savings" ?

They've done this before...sorry for the lip...but substancial my ass...

pam123,
When sent my Radeon DDR 64mb VIVO in for warranty, ATI offered a trade-up. They wanted to sell me a 8500 for $300.00 after giving me $50.00 for my card that I paid $150.00 for six months ago. My card still is under warranty.
Their trade-ups are a joke from my point of view.

Thanks Kubie and catch23. I'll skip the trade up.
I can get a better deal just buying from newegg.

Most trade-ins are a joke....I was considering sending my Radeon 64mb DDR VIVO in...but $50 isn't worth it when I paid about $180 last February (2001)
