Forgot to add that I sold my 2060 for 600 back in February

I bought a 2080ti from a friend for a really good price. Agonized about selling my 5700xt, was over double the msrp at the time. Eventually I bought an R7 2700 for 180 CAD an x470 motherboard and built my girlfriend her first gaming computer. I overclocked the 2700 and her ram and undervolted the 5700xt. I might be an idiot for not selling, but hearing her laugh with her friends while hunting ghost in phasmophobia is worth it to me.

You wouldn't buy 30% markup but you would sell 100% markup. How are you not part of the problem...

Ay thanks for the insight on my question! Glad to get a different perspective, especially one that is more positive than I was thinking.

We're supply constrained right now. If you don't feed into the demand for cards above 30%, then you're not hurting the price other than helping cement 30% over MSRP cards. If you add to supply, you're actually helping lower the price for everyone if it's an elastic market. It's basic supply and demand.

I immediately have to point out that I have only sold old Vega cards, and the people paying $2000 for RADEON VII's are almost for sure overwhelmingly miners. I can't see a gamer paying that much for a Vega card over a scalped 3070's for less money. And thus I am not sure why you would care if I sell overpriced old cards to miners... That type of action actually does help the market, too - a miner bought my used VII instead of a new 3080.

There's no way the price demand will be lifted in a few months, these silicon prices will last likely throughout 2022. Great Die Shrink Tom/Dan!
