Back in the day when I rented a server from their auction, the prices indeed did drop by 1€ every 24h or 72h or whatever. But not below a minimum they had set per computer type, perhaps that is still how it works. And yeah, it doesn't make sense to get an old Xeon for a higher monthly fee than a recent Ryzen, only some of the auctions make sense. (But then they might make a lot of sense: I got 6T of disk, 16G RAM and 8 cores for 27€/m.)

In the case of the Xeon, i think they also price in their electricity costs - supposedly, the Xeon uses more power than the Ryzen?
Due to a recent price hike with electricity, their CEO once again acknowledged on their forums that they do not sell (rent, rather) the servers in the Serverbörse at a loss.
