How much should a used Firecracker-24 sell for? Thanks!

depends on if you're buying or selling!

I have heard of folks offering used Firecracker boards for as low as $375-400. At that price they are a steal. FC24 is one of the easiest to use and is very widely supported by lots of software. It is simplicity itself. No nonsense – just a great 24-bit video oriented display. Best used by hooking its output to a second 1084 monitor, but you can use it with only a 1-monitor system. I use mine with a 2-monitor system, FC on its own 1084.

Thanks for the note. I looked around at the prices of current video boards, with the base Opalvision at $375.00 I couldn't justify spending more than $200.00 for a used FC24. I got a good deal on one and should have it next weekend. I'm looking forward to using it with ADPRO and VistaPro. -J

'I got a good deal on one' – on what?! – the Opal or the FC24? Hope you DID get an FC24 for $200 – if you did good for you, you'll love it.
