Lots of cards starting to pop up online second hand!
Still outrageously priced, but i'm sure there will be some bargains soon.
give it a few more weeks, I warned all those fools paying tripple retail price it was a bad idea
few people listened. The longer this blood bath lasts the worse it gets for idiots who paid $900 for a 1070
and $700 for 580s 🤦🏿♂️
Or $1300+ for a GTX 1080 Ti.... I sort of feel bad for them, but mostly for their families in the cases of people maxing out credit cards or taking loans thinking they could get rich quick without taking a peak at how history repeats itself over and over.
I blame all the utubers "How to make $15 a day mining on one gtx 1080 TI!! Print your own monies!"
I am glad I did not buy the expensive GTX 1080Ti. I think I can buy them for below $800 in a few weeks.
Keep dreaming lol... if this last huge drop wasn't enough to kill the GPU gouging market, not sure it will end any time soon... and overall market if already back up about 40% from the bottom a few days ago. Yes, there is more supply hitting the market now but even the ones that are "only" marked up $100-$150 (newegg & amazon) are gone instantly. The only ones i've seen stick available for more than 1-2 minutes are the $730-ish 1070ti's that came in at B&H. Sorry jokers, Im not paying nearly 50% above retail from a MF'ing retailer lol! but clearly a lot of people are. Dare I say those cards will never ROI? Or maybe in 1+ years IF the market really skyrockets again... a lot of ifs.
yeah $550 is my max for a 1070 or 107ti , $350 max for an RX 580 8GB
until prices drop to those levels ill just hold my coins and wait for the next pump
I found some decent fully built gaming deals.
2 card rx 580 for 1313 plus tax
2 card 1080ti for 2200 plus tax
both have i7 8700
thats still too high for me, plus Im stuck with gaming box ram and cpu etc
Ill wait till volta is released and maybe have some friends pic up some cards locally for me
in your case they don't work. for some they are an option.
I sold off a few units with 2 1080ti's set in cases and using smos. I got 2k each
I don't mind getting 2 for 2200 each for 200 bucks cost on each I get.
an i7 8700 vs i3 7100
2 new 1080 ti's
windows 10 vs smos
1 tb hdd vs usb stick
8gb ram vs 4gb ram
new 1 year warranty vs 9 month old gear..
if you do the math a 1080ti is still worth more then 900 . if it earns 4 dollar a day and spends 200 watts it nets 3.50 a day x 300 days = 1050 .
So if you buy a gaming rig and net 2100 in 300 days the rig has at least 900 value so I turn 2200 into 3000 in 10 months .
But that is my model selling gently used gear at good prices.
Like the s-9's I sold not marked upped like nuts.
BTW still have more s-9s a two board and a three board left are left.
the two board has a third board that died in about 1 month of use.
the three board is older works well
yeah you have a good process, for me selling stuff is a pain, plus the parts on those gaming rigs are of no use to me anymore since i have standardized on those 8 gpu onda boards which use smaller ram etc
matter of fact o have a ton of normal mother boards and 8gb ddr4 ram sticks I probably need to start listing on amazon since i cant sell on ebay with no paypal
