And thats a perfectly fair offer. 60% of new price. Originally he want 60% of new when new was £619. Why is the card all of a sudden worth 75% of new price?????

So go buy a 1070 instead of annoying sellers of 980Ti's on The MM with silly offers, if you believe that...
And I will if people keep holding on to wanting more money for a second hand 980ti than a new 1070
Sellers are also waiting for the rate they are willing to sell for. Works both ways.
Never said anything about you being honest or dishonest.. that is not the topic.
You keep stating you will only pay £200 for a 980ti so expect to wait a long time, then Volta will be out and you will do the same with the 1080ti and hope some person makes the mistake to sell cheaply because you and others are trying to spam the forums with this nonsense and trying to make it out as fact. End of topic...
£200 980Ti's that will be a sight to see haha. I only just sold my 970 a month ago for £210
Exactly... they can keep dreaming, it is funny how the ones doing that silly pricing are the ones after the top most card last gen they are not doing it for the 980 or 970... The funny part is they are offering prices for a basic 980 or a top end 970... and wanting a 980Ti top end version...
Anyways as will many will do they will stop using the MM to sell parts that have a high value and sell only junk there they want to clear out.. That's how the MM will end at this rate.. Sad really because I really like the MM and many of the people on there are great and reasonable.. but there is a clear shift recently there and the silliness is at an all time high.
I'm sorry but that is exactly what you are saying. ATM, and it may only be until the end of July, 980ti are £399.
So somebody who expects £370 for their second hand one is as unrealistic as somebody who expects to buy one for £200. If you want £370, keep your card until after July when the new price has gone back up to £600.
Again, I see around £300 as being the current "fair" market value of a second hand 980ti for both seller and buyer.
As said before, nobody is forcing the seller to sell at those prices and if you want too much then it wont sell unless you get really lucky.
Equally I have seen lots of people list their stuff too cheaply on MM and within minutes you have 10 people saying they will take at asking.
At the end of the day, an item's worth is only what somebody else is prepared to pay for it no matter what the seller thinks/believes

I don't personally own any 980Ti's but even I can see that the prices people are offering are ridiculous. The card is still very powerful.
I'm tired of explaining this now.. They will never give up.. so they will be the ones to loose out as they will not be seeing high end items for sale on the MM anymore and only junk sold there.
Also funny watching so many telling people with high end cards like 980ti and titan X to upgrade to the 1070 or 1080... why ?? So they can hope they sell on their old cards cheap on the MM..
That is why they are doing that too.. The reality is anyone updating from a 980ti and Titan X is either a person that wants the latest all the time and has the budget to do that or they were people without a lot of knowledge with PC and being lied to by forum members to make out their old gear is junk and getting them to upgrade..
So again to sell their old gear cheap.. So much bad advice is given on these forums recently and I'm really happy to see there is still the great regular forum users with a knowledge in PC hardware and software advising correctly to stop the nonsense.
As with the 1070 you are using the cheapest 980ti as an example. The ones getting derisory offers in the MM are not those. Offering 300 for a 499 card is not fair or just cheeky imo but I guess I'm in the minority.

I'll wait as long as it takes. I'm in no rush.
Not looking to rip anyone off.
I've paid the asking price for the last two cards I bought from the members market.
So please think before you go accusing people of things.
Its a community mate....People share the love in MM and Iv'e bought bargains and sold bargains in MM
The MM is what makes this community great...1000's of pounds worth of hardware being bought and sold and but into people's bank accounts without lining the pockets of the ebay corporate business machine.
What like cards like the phoenix golden sample at £399 with a faster stock overclock than the cards people are trying to sell on MM?
Its not like the cards for sale new at £399 to £419 are the base reference 980ti.
They are all decent brand, factory overclocked with superior cooling.
And again, before the price cuts people were happy to sell the cards they bought for £600 for £370 or lower.
Now that they have dropped by another £100, shouldn't second hand sellers expect slightly less for their cards?

Why would anyone pay £350 for a 980ti second hand when a brand new 1070 is the same price? That's all I'm saying.
New gen is out, prices get reevaluated. Just because you paid £550 for your 980ti. Doesn't mean it is still worth top dollar.
People selling will soon realise nobody is buying at these prices. They are just buying 1070's instead. So people will drop their asking prices.
This is how things work.
I have in my mind what I'm prepared to pay and I'm happy to wait for the market to reach that point.
Not sure why some people are getting their panties in a bunch.

I don't follow that logic. The seller can choose their own price, they're not dictated by this fantasy 'market value' that people keep throwing up in the air.
At the end of the day, someone wanting a 980Ti still has two options. Pay £400 for a new one, or £330-370 for a used one. They're still saving money.

looking at completed listings on ebay though, the going price (after ebay fees ) is between £315 and £350. I'm not able to see the MM as I have lack of posts but if I were to sell my Ti's that's the current going rate to me not £200 - £250 which seems to be whats being posted here. I'm all for community spirit, but there's and element of price gauging for the benefit of a second hand user which doesn't seem in the flavour of community spirit to me.
..and that there in is another factor. 980Ti are obviously quite desirable now given the performance of the 10xx series, so a lot of people are looking to SLI rather than trade 980Ti for 1080 (the latter of which makes absolutely no sense performance wise!)
A desirable card has no reason to lose value.
