When I upgraded to a 3070 I sold my 1080 Ti for 50% more than I paid for it and at this point I think I could have gotten more (it was a blower so not exactly a desirable card though). Cost me 100 bucks after tax to do the upgrade. Then I scored a 3080 and sold the 3070 for $700 plus shipping.

It's to the point where I'm thinking about selling my "backup" 1060 3GB card, but if my GPU died then I would be in real trouble because lol at getting ahold of GPUs right now.

ETh DAG is over 4GB now, no one wants 3GB cards

prices are still over $150 which is more than I paid for it new back in 2017.

like, shockingly to some, there exists a market for GPUs for doing things other than mining. And not all coins require 8GB cards either.

Over $200 in US, closer to $300 in EU. More than MSRP for a 5 year old product.
