I just realized the prices are high because amazon and ebay aren't allowing regular people to list these items. I want to sell a 1070 but amazon requires written letter from the brand authorizing you as a reseller and ebay only allows established sellers to sell for over 500.
This essentially weeds out all of the people who just want to sell their items and eliminates compeition leaving the price gougers free to charge 899 for 1070s.
That's weird, I never had an issue like that back when I sold via Amazon.
Certain categories required different authorizations. I've had to get different docs authorized over the years for different accounts to sell different things. It's not that hard and at the end of the day they can all be doctored anyways. Also obviously someone who isn't me has around 25 different ebay accounts, to get by their new seller 500 limit just call in if you have all the seller info they remove the lift for you.
Personally I'd just spend a few hundred bucks get a high limit ebay and verified paypal account. No fussing around with their stupid policies and their bullshit. Also no Tax implications. and again, of course I would never do something like this.
