Should have sold off those gpu way before now. I started selling off my Nvidia 1070/1080 series cards that I mined with for three years in late 2020 and decided not to purchase newer gen cards with the funds. Could have waited another six months and got more for said gpu's, but I'm not in the business of buying bottoms and selling tops. Sure the merge could have been delayed yet again, but I wasn't willing to bet on it. So no new card.

I overpaid for some gpu in early 2018, but no worry. Most were purchased in 2017 at good price point. Now you sell them at loss or continue to hold onto them while manufacturer releases newer and newer cards, this decease value of your card even more. Hello Metroid. Hehe
