Looking at amazon.com, the going rate for used ones is 115-150 depending on brand/ram size etc.

according to that the 260 is a step up from the 9800gt...

I believe the 5770 would be a better buy though.

this comparison (http://www.gpureview.com/show_cards.php?card1=568&card2=615) doesn't help too much, but it does say that the core clock and mem clock on the 5770 will be a lot better, plus I am pretty sure the 260 isn't dx11 compatible.

As much as I don't like it, it looks like the GTX 260 wins (http://hwbot.org/hardware.compare.do?type=gpu&id=1602_1&id=1355_1)
