Re: There will be lots of cheap GPUs for sale eventually
It's really a YMMV situation. I'm a gamer, so dropping $220 on my 6950 was no big deal, and the fact that I can use it to more than pay for the electricity that my whole system is using makes for a nice bonus.
It's not that unusual to find overpriced used merchandise of any sort... people always think their crap is worth its weight in gold. Craigslist and ebay are the best places to find items like that.
Ok... then why did he still have the card?

Yes, there are plenty of people who want a GPU for gaming as well, etc.
But when you already have 5, 10, or 15 cards, you can't really justify it as "Oh well, I'll just play games on it if mining doesn't pay off."
My only point was that there are still some idiots in the mining world who haven't been flushed out of the system yet.
