I recently upraded from a Radeon HD 4890 to a Radeon HD 4870 X2, due to getting a nice price on the dual-GPU card (bit over $100, and its new). Performance on the games I like to play has gone up considerably (I also like to run at maxed graphics). I'm wondering now what to do with the 4890? Keep it as a spare, or try selling it on eBay?
Personal Opinion, as long as it works fine, I always like to have a spare stashed away just in case something were to happen to the newer one.
But that's just me. If you could get a decent amount for selling it, then it may be worth going the eBay route.
Unless of course you need a really large paper weight.....
You probably won't get much for it and as soon as you sell it you will probably need it. Now if you save it as a spare it will bring you good luck and you will never need it.

Having a spare for testing purposes can make your life much easier should the need arise. A Guy
I agree with Phone Man and it being a good luck charm if you keep it. If you sell it on ebay to someone, they will install it wrong, fry it and blame you.
I agree, having some spare parts around can be handy. In case of emergency, or for testing purposes.
Take it apart, make jewlery with the pieces, sell each bit to school children for a premium.
