Your better off putting a wanted ad in the trade section.

Here are some guidelines of what I would pay.

7600GS - £18
7600GT (DDR3 version)- £25
X1650pro or XT (DDR3 version) £25
X800XT PE - £25
6800gt - £25
6800Ultra - £30
7800/7900 series £20-£35 depending on whether they are the GS, GT or GTX versions and ram size.
X18/1900 series, £20-£35, the XTX being the fastest, the XL being the lower end but still very fast. GT being the lowest.

Hope this helps a little, I have had a look on ebay for you but AGP cards are just silly money on there, I have seen some very good AGP cards sell on various forums for £30 or so, so you should pick a higher end model up no problems whatsoever.
