Wow lol.
I'm tempted to try and flog the 1/2GB cards that have been in a box since they became unprofitable lol, maybe if I list the amount of LTC they were hashing in 2013 idiots will just buy them without thinking

So being totally upfront, and honest, and after making use of capitalism at its finest, what will the prices of the 580's come down to after the mining boom has subsided?

but if ocuk have 10000 people in front of me i might not get one until next year !
Sold my 580 and bought a 560 for around £90. Decent little card, @ 1080, plays esports games really well. Will keep it as a backup card when VEGA comes out as I don't have one atm.
So here's my RX 480 story.....
I bought the MSI RX480 from OCHQ at the end of Novemeber last year for £255. I (after 3 months) got £48 cashback from MSI and the card came with CIV VI which is basically a £50 game that my son wanted for Christmas anyway. So I'm effectively down to paying £157 for the card. Great deal. K'ching.
I bought a 34" Sammy CF791 last week as I needed a super wide screen for work purposes (no honest, I actually did and that's what I told the wife, so I'm sticking to this story) , it's fab!! The 480 seemed to run pretty ok, I'm not much of a gamer tbh but like to take Project Cars or Assetta Corsa or Dirt rally for a spin now and again.
I then read this thread and thought "crikey" (it's a family show), these cards are selling for silly money so I promtly stuck it on the auction site. It got to £310 quid when 2 days before the auction ended, I realised that in my excitement, I had screwed up and left international postage as an option and the highest bigger was a guy in Russia with 4 feedback. I'm soo not sending this card to Russia... The same evening, Etherium dropped 40% (or whatever it was) so I bailed out and pulled the auction as I was thinking (as I think others mentioned here), if/when the bubble burst, (unscrupulous) miners are just going to milk the paypal buyer protection and return their cards. Plus, we'll end up with a glut of 480's on the market which will drive down the value of my card and they will end up selling for £140. Plus Nvidia and AMD are planning to bring out mining cards as well which won't help the resale value of my 480. Sadly, pulling the auction means I will have to pay a big chunk of fees which is "disappointing" but serves me right. Live and learn.
Sunday I had a punt and put it on Gumtree, asking for best offers over £280. Despite noticing that even yesterday, folks are still paying £330-£400 quid on the bay, I had I decided I don't want the hassle. I've been using the auction site very successfully for years without problem and with 100% FB that I want to protect. So I decided not to be gready and sold it on Gumtree to a very nice chap for £280 today. Meantime, I had bought an utterly mint (5 weeks old apparently) 1070 G1 for £370, which powers my new monitor very nicely indeed. Only now I have a Freesync monitor and an Nvidia card ! but for the gaming I do, I think this will be fine (and I have read that the freesync implemetation on this monitor is not without problem).
So I ended about £83 quid up on the 480 (taking everything into account) and got the 1070 G1 for £73 quid less that current list price (albeit without warranty). That'll do me for now.
[edit] oh and the day that Etherium nose-dived, I dipped my toe in the mining malarkey (for about 4 hours) and nicemining said my 1070 would net me £3.70 a day and my 2500K about 15p! I probably caused the crash by scaring all the miners away..

That's what everyone is saying. I put all my GPU's on ebay and they seemed all honest buyers, let hope the market doesn't crash before September but lets see what happens. If there is a big influx of buyers protection returns then I wonder if eBay will clocked on and start declined them as they know many will try to abuse the system, especially all at once.
Was your RX480 a 4GB model by any chance? I've noticed that the ones which sell for over £300 are the 8GB models. Only certain 4GB ones sell high, i.e. those with Samsung Memory or those with exceptional power efficiency (i.e. good ASIC). I was thinking of having my brother sell his RX480, use my GTX 970 in the meantime while he then uses the profits to grab a 1070, but his 4GB model is nothing special, Hynix Memory and 80-something % ASIC. That and all the good 1070 deals have disappeared. He seems to be happy with what he has though, otherwise I'm wishing miners would take an interest in 970s. Then I could offload my old card for a decent amount XD

Yaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!
I'm waiting for my R9 390 to be repaired/replaced and if they send back an R9 390 I'm thinking of doing exactly this - selling it and buying a 980Ti with the money.
Good idea in the current situation with graphics card availability or a risky move because of no warranty on a 2nd hand 980Ti?
gibbo stole yer thunder on that one me thinks lol
