So I needed to make some room on my shelves for new toys and I put several graphics cards I thought were trash on eBay.
Apparently there is a graphics card shortage going on right now because of miners buying them up for alt coins mining.
A card I bought for $150 several years ago, and I thought I'd be lucky to get $50 for now is bidding for $275 at the end of day one.
A card I bought for $289 a year ago is bidding at $425 on day one of a seven day auction. Latest closing auctions see this card at $750-$1200 as it is decently new and moderately powerful.
A card I figured was total shit and I bought for perhaps $125 many years ago is bidding at $75 on day one because people just want to buy cards I guess. I figured it would sell for $15 and I'd just get it out of my collection of computer hardware.
Got video cards collecting dust? Ebay!
Rant - Ebay is cancelling PayPal as a method to get paid. So now you have to put in your bank account to sell there. I much preferred it all to be PayPal only. Oh well.
