That was a decent card back in 2011.

This wa as big for me. I had never bought a top of the line gaming pc until this last November when I spent twice what I normally would on one. We were lucky to not have any negative financial impact from Covid so I justified it guilt free due to that and not spending money on anything else.
I have a picture of a tulip I would like to sell.

I ran a 6750 completely passively in dead silent SPCR badged prebuilt PC and it was glorious!
So some potential good news is out there at least. Not only is Ethereum mining difficulty going up really fast (meaning in a month you will need more hash power than today for the same ETH mining income) but the Ethereum foundation just made it official that a change is going into effect in July that will cause a significant amount of transaction fees to be burned. This change alone (without difficulty increasing) will cause a significant drop in income for miners (though I guess thereās a chance that the deflationary effect balances this out but who knows).
If I was a betting man Iād bet that between the two things we will see miners realize that mining Ethereum is not going to give them a ROI, going to alt coins isnāt going to help (flooding alt coins means their difficulty will spike / profitability plummet, and they will sell off their equipment. So itās possible that as we get closer to the July fork things may become less shitty.
Just sold my GTX1080 for $500 on Craigslist. Got cash in my hot little hand.
I bought it for $649 in June 2016 so it retained a whopping 77% of its purchase price after almost five years. Canāt beat that with a cucumber.
Maybe Iāll list the GTX770 next. Hard to imagine anyone would actually want it.
Oh, and Iāve got a GTX1060 lying around too. Booyakashah!
Iāve got my 1060 on eBay right now. Iām not in a big enough city for craigslist to be worth it unfortunately. Right now itās up to 90% of what I paid in 2016, and itās still got a dozen hours left. If I had put it up so it finished 4 days ago, I would have pulled in $370+, but everyone seems to have caught on to this now.
Yeah you can definitely do better on eBay, but I donāt want to pack it up and ship it, and I donāt want to deal with possible fraud, charging back payments, etc. Itās worth the extra money to me to get cash in hand and walk away that same day.
Yeah, I would definitely prefer craigslist for the same reason, Iām really going to be pissed if someone defrauds me.

Reddit /hardwareswap is a good source too, if you can find a local buyer/seller.

If any QT3ers are looking to get rid of 2000 RTX cards for a fair price and ship to Canada, Iāll be in the hunt over the next little while.
Does QT3 need a Buy/Sell thread? Weāve got lots of people here giving away keys to old games, so it would stand to reason we have people with unused gear laying around the house who would be willing to sell/donate to others here who could use it.
Granted, itās much easier to post a digital key online than it is to physically box and ship something but Iād much rather deal with the fine folk at QT3 than some internet rando.

I should clarify that I am referring to the 2000 (or heck 3000 if you are upgrading from that already) series of RTX cards and not a quantity of two thousand GPUs.
