Actually, that has not been my intention at all, just reacting to my observations. If I am being perceived as a troll I will shut up on the topic then.

Exactly and well said. If you need to dupe someone into overpaying for your used hardware, you probably could not afford it in the first place.

Ah, and you hit my point exactly - I am exactly in your mind frame - and will probably buy 3090 and a mini-itx 3070 for myself and new quadro for my. wife. I am reacting to the entitled mentality that because someone paid 1200+ for the 2080ti, they will not take less than xx (this forum seems...

No referencing you, repling to a different post.

I grant you I was a bit snarky, but they needed the extra performance such they couldn't wait a couple of weeks for it? To pay so much less and get so much more? If you are using it for DL or any other comercial applications; then ebay/second hand is not allowed by most corporate policy in most...

Congrats, you duped a sucker - there is one born every minute. Or someone with no patience. Or someone who is massively uninformed. In either case, a fool and his money are soon parted. I must say however, I do really appreciate all those people who way overspent on the 20 series, such that we...

Stores have sunk costs and cannot just fire sale them. Around here, unsold inventory gets sent back to the manufacturer for a refund.

Lol, no man I wish, getting old sucks. Hey, this is a unicorn event, appreciate it.

The last time a third tier (3070) beat or matched the previous generations flagship was in 2004. THIS IS A RARE event and fantastic for gamers.

No, group of about a dozen gamers, a club if you will. Your kind of missing the point, 2080ti irrelevant now. Glad you like yours, it is good to like what you buy.

This is why myself and my group are not even considering used GPUs at almost any price, we can wait for stock. We are happy to let the 2080ti owners keep their cards as backups we dont want them.

That is absolutely fine mindset, no problem with it, what I have a problem with is now if you start complaining that you can't get 800 for your old card when a superior card is now available for $500.

Right, but if a $500 card equals and beats your 2080ti - your used 2080ti is economically obsolete at price not significantly less than $500. I mean really you are saying people want your used stuff for anywhere near what a new better performance card will cost? And honestly if you need to save...

Perhaps, I was not clear, my fault. For gaming a luxury expense, it does not matter what people want for the 2080t it is irrelevant as a better $500 product is emerging-, because anyone with a quarter of a clue will not want one - I am sure there will be some uninformed people who keep buying...

It is actually worse than that - after the initial surge of panic buying and selling and stocks of new cards normalize, the 2080ti will be functionality obsolete - NV confirmed yesterday that the 3070 matches the RAS performance of the 2080ti and exceeds the RT performance. Further, the 3060 is...
