Besides, these comparisons are like comparing apples to oranges - they are
not even the same product!? I've seen them too at the cheapest computer
fairs etc...they are random-brand named taiwan copy cards. I am sure they
are every bit as good - but they are not the branded product and they are
(illegally?) sold for cash/cheque without much of a guarantee or VAT or even
a manual and support for that matter.

One is a cheaper than the other - but they are NOT the same.

The Guillemot MaxiGamer comes from a largish company that provides technical
support etc...it costs a lot more new, and hence its second hand value is
bound to be slightly higher to be fair.

Personally I would be happy to pay less for a generic taiwan card - they are
the same chipset and provide the same performance anyway - but at least I
can appreciate that there is a price difference and that I would be willing
to pay a bit more for the Guillemot branded card IF I wanted it for whatever
reason!?

Just my humble tuppence.
