All those datacenters are gonna want a lot of customized CPU SKU's though

The used market for CPU's is already amazing every time AWS dumps a ton due to a hardware refresh cycle - in a few years it is gonna be amazing!

AWS lists their old hardware on ebay? through official accounts or what?

Nah not official - it ends up at various resellers. Not sure what they do directly with it.

Getting in on THAT would likely be a very good deal!

It's interesting to watch what Amazon runs directly versus what they contract. IIRC they own trailers but contract the semis to pull them. At one point, they actually considered buying an RV park for their seasonal warehouse employees. I wonder why they don't directly sell their surplus like the government does at gsaauctions.gov.
