    Why the hell would you want to buy a used gpu that’s been burnt through its lifespan by an AI or crypto bro?

    That’s a bad, horrible idea.

      Won’t the price of all gpus go down when they’re not all being snatched up for mining?

        Absolutely! New ones will be much cheaper, and that’ll be awesome.

        But the used gpu market has been trash since crypto mining became a thing. Not worth the money to buy something that’s been worked to within an inch of its EOL.
