Tempting to sell it for a laptop instead and just remove myself from this whole upgrade madness.Mining hash rates dictate GPU prices now not gaming performance.
Keep your panties on Gibbo
but as your asking yes ocuk are one of the worst scalpers out of all retailers
@Why the hell a 5700XT worth so much at the moment? Is not much stronger then a 3060 (if)
Why? That just reduces supply and drives up the prices of new items even more because you have no option but to buy new if nobody is selling second hand because the amount they can charge is artificially constrained to an unacceptably low level. Moot point anyway as it would also be impossible to properly enforce because peolpe would just charge the price they paid for their 2nd hand item plus another £200 for 'postage and packing'.there should be a law that prohibits anyone from reselling a 2nd hand item item for more than they paid.
I mean, our 2nd hands GPUs are only worth that much because the retailers are absolutely scalping them on the first place, if stores werent selling them for rip off prices on the first place then the 2nd hand ones wouldnt be worth as much either so dont expect people to undercut their 2nd hand GPU prices while stores keep their blatant extortionate prices.
How often do people get scammed on that popular auction site? I want to sell my FHR 3080 as I just don't game anymore but am very wary of Paypal's 6 month return period. I could get £1700 for it and DO NOT want to have to worry about that for 6 months. Sell elsewhere?

I love my 2070 super tho, I don't want to sellI just checked ebay and my GIgabyte Gaming OC 2070 Super is selling for £900+
What in the hell!
Maybe I will just buy a super cheap nVidia card and sell the 2070?
that mostly supports organised crime.
It has a high hashrate per watt ratio, that's why it is in demand. They get stuck in some mining rig, undervolted and underclocked and generate 2.5-3.5 currency a day. After 100 days or so it's net profit.
Not a big fan of crypto, it seems like a really stupid way to burn 10-100KWH a day to make a light income that mostly supports organised crime.
I sold mine ages ago for over £500, I think it was £575.00 I paid £375.00 for it new it took the sting out of paying £1505 for an RTX 3090 in October last year.
I was keeping the 5700 XT as a spare till I saw how much they were going for.
Mining really does need to just bog off now, Its sad sad times for those people who want a decent card but cannot afford one.
I think if mining did ever stop been profitable using Desktop Gpus they'd very slowly trickle down in price back to around what they should be but would years because people would still be greedy.
One card in general i think that's always been overpriced is 1080Ti,s They may still be very good performers but they're old now, Most are probably hitting their end of life and have absolutely no warranty at all. Crazy to think people will still pay anywhere between £450 -700 for one.
