    Fair price for former miner GTX 1080

    What's a good price for a GTX 1080 that was used as a miner for about a year? It seems to be roughly on par (little worse) than a 2070, which sets the upper bar at 500 bucks or so (incidentally, the 1080's old MSRP). eBay has them for all over the place so it's hard to get a good bead on them...
