I'm posing on ebay an old graphics card my friend gave me, any current ones of this model on ebay seem to vary in price wildly (from £100 to as much as £500).

Back of the card states that it is:
DD Radeon R9 290X 1000M 4GB D5 DP HDMI 2xDVI

Any one able to give me some idea of how much these go for? (Pics attached)

Quick way to find the value of something, find something new that runs at the same speed, then take off %20-30 for it being used. So a $500 when new used card that runs as fast as a $250 new card would be maybe a $200-210 card. The 290X is about the same speed as an nVidia 1060 6GB card. Those cards go for about $220-250 after rebates, so that is about where the 290X prices should be. If anyone buys it over that, they have not done their homework. You need to give a gut idea over used/older vs newer and the price difference. Is a $20 savings enough to make someone buy a used card? Probably not. $40, maybe. $50, maybe more.

The lowest price that I have found for that specific card online was $249.00 USD for a used one and around $500.00 USD for a brand new one. It's really up to you but around $250 USD would be my guess.
