Very easy to say, not so easy to do for some people.  And even when you
have a few shops to visit, the same thing applies:

They carry new cards, and only a few in stock.  Ordering in as they
need.  The don't sell old cards.  You are going to get nowhere going to
a shop asking to buy a card made 18 months ago, because you need one
that old so you can have working drivers for it.

And ordering over the internet is fraught with problems:  You can't
"try" the card, and returning a duff one is a right pain.  You pay for
delivery, you pay for return postage.  And there's no trusting of
ebaying for older cards - people knowingly sell duff crap, people have
no damn idea about anti-static precautions...
