Is now the best time to sell your GPU?

Prices are going crazy. Just 3 months ago I sold my 1070 mini on the bay and today one went on the MM for a little more than I got on the bay.

Hi.

The bay prices are £340+.

The prices on that high street gaff are all over the place. I have been rummaging in the parts box though. Could get 90 pence for my old CPU and 2 quid for my old radeon card. Tempted...

Haha you did well.
At the time I was told here that £170 was too high So I sold mine on the bay for £250+ shipping. I was happy then lol but if I waited a couple months

If you're gonna sell, sell asap.

Bitcoin and Eth crashing after China banned crypto from financial institutions, this is start of long turn down and if only large economies follow China it could be messy.

So tempted by this but it’s doing a good job making me money mining at the moment!

Yeah that's where I was also conflicted cos I can make money mining from it. But it was gonna take a while to turn that level of profit.

It’s difficult to know whether the value will drop more than what can be mined in the meantime. Bit of a gamble either way I guess!

I'm in Senegal, Mexico, New York, Le Mans, Greenland, Brazil and Argentina lol

You're a spice & Tequila trader, with a penchant for classic cars raced on rally tracks and the Amazon?

Or a cargo pilot for a weird bunch of clients

Hard to resist when you can double your money assuming it was a 3070 fe at £469.00

 

[pandem0nium]

I sold mine yesterday, thought may as well.

I have a 480 8gb that'll keep me going for a while until things calm down.

I too think that the planned changes to Ethereum will make mining less profitable in the coming months.

£1020 now nice.

my mate gave in on his 3080 got £1850 for it

lucky he kept the vega

lucky him, i downgraded to a gt 710 for around £50, just to keep the pc ticking with content browsing.

I don't know why but I still feel confident of sniping a good card at close to MSRP

Yeah they approved payment within the hour so just waiting on it getting to my bank.

I paid £469. Mined on it for 6 weeks and sold.

Honestly think anyone trying to get a gaming pc should just try and get a console instead. The price difference is so vast.
