HI, is there a place you can trade in or sell your GPUs very smoothly?

I have an RTX 4090 I'd like to move on and too scared to use ebay. Can see through going rate is £1400-£1600.

I don't mind taking a small hit off the retail price if it's easier to move on. I have a nasty habit of keeping things for years.
 
Agree with the others, members market on here. You won't get as much here as on the auction site though.

What you will get though is hassle free payment and virtually zero chance the buyer will swap for a broken one and force a return. This can happen with the auction site but as with anything, YMMV.
 
If you can cope with the all the bull squirt messages, I've had good results from FB market place. Collection only, and you get to check out their profile for some background before engaging.

You could also take a look over at AVforums, they have a trust system similar to here, although if you're new you may have to be more 'trusting' in making a deal. I think the last 4090 sold there for around the £1450 mark.

I have a 4090FE with like a hours use on it, got offers for like £1800, strange, even thou i have not used it for like a year, i still wont sell it, maybe i should, are 5090's still hard to come by then, why stupid offers still for a 4090 ? is it because they still do the physics stuff, or something else ?

There are dozens of 5090’s available if you’re prepared to pay the asking prices. The FE seems to be perennially out of stock though.
 
I sold my 4090fe on eBay for £1360. Might have got lucky as had no bother, used the funds to buy a 5070ti off the MM here and I've also bought a 9070XT so was great for me. Funny thing was the buyer was local, but all went well. I don't regret selling at all. It only had about 2 months warranty left on it so I got my money's worth out of it. Plus was just not using it after I'd bought another GPU.
 
Cheeky offer of 50% less than your asking price mate because it's an impulse buy, so you need to subsidise that for me.
I've also seen people use their kids or friends who dont even have an account here as a bargining chip.

Lol yep. Although it's obvious when it's genuine too, because I literally just have this situation on some RAM I've sold. But I also know the buyer so it's just a weird coincidence you wrote that when you did.

Also, someone's just missed out on a CPU which was priced fairly because they tried to lowball me and now they've missed out, a tale as old as time.

I saw that. People will always try it on, I only saw it work once on the seller and that was in the last few weeks.

Any potential buyers who say "it's for my daughter's new rig" and accompany that with a low offer would get a polite refusal from me.

Thing is, sometimes it does pay off so I kind of get trying, but at the same time, as someone who doesn't like dealing with this kind of thing it just immediately makes me annoyed for wasting my time. That said, I'm grateful to have the MM as I've never had a bad experience using it (touch wood).
