Need help with a BlackMagic Decklink HD card

Hello guys,

haven't posted in a while...good to see the forum up and running and strong as ever.

Real quick question.
The studio I worked at closed and I got a hold of a few decklink cards. They are both the 2006-2007 model Decklink HD (before the Extreme and the Pro were made). I have heard this card is discontinued now. Here is a link:

My question is, as fellow editors, what would you sell this thing for? It's a great card, I used it for a few years capturing from a JH3 and and DVCAM deck. At the time, the studio bought it for almost a g. A guy today offered me 200 bucks, but I think he might be ripping me off.

What is a fair price to sell one for (considering the newer cards are available)?

Thanks early for any responses!

not even sure it will work in newer model computers
as the box says PCIX 133 MHz slot (and I believe the news quads are PCI-E)

Yes. So that's pretty much what it is. You can't use it on the newer macs which uses Intel chips. Apple no longer supports PPCs, in terms of new software releases. In terms of functionality, it's quite similar to the current Decklink SDI, which has a list price of $295.

If I have no current need for it, at 200 bucks, i'll sell it.
