two of these, both with multilink, were on ebay ending on saturday. one ended for $50 and one ended for $6.50 - neither one met reserve, but that shows there's not much demand for these bad boys right now. I might have to get a second one to dual-screen. (I thought mine was a good deal at $200. I still think it was actually, compared to the kind of monitor you could buy at costco for $200)

Wow, just a year ago a 1600SW with MultiLink would have sold on eBay for well over $300 (I know, because I sold a set). Amazing how times have changed!

Though, to be fair, the dot pitch on those 1600SW screens is just a bit too high for my tastes - I think they run native in excess of 100 DPI, which makes text really tiny.

Two reasons why I didn't bid on them:
-I was at work from 9AM saturday to 2AM sunday, and I have awful luck with ebay auctions.
-what you just said. but at that price it is really a buyers' market, and breathtaking pictures, games, and videos more than make up for the tiny-text problem.

I'm in the frustrating position of having not one but two 1600sws... with only #9 cards.

MLAs seem to go for more on their own :/

I think in the latter case people were put off by the "temperamental" note on the mla, I know I was!
