So, I picked the wrong time to try to find a GTX 1060. As recently as November of 2017, I saw several 6gb versions for sale here in the $160 range.
Now that I'm trying to buy one, they get snapped up immediately when listed here in the $230-$250 range. On eBay, the MSI GTX 1060 6Gb Gaming (the one I really want) is selling for $300+. Other brands pop up on NewEgg for $270-$280 from time to time.
Since I just recently started looking for one, I've not really been watching their price over an extended time. I know the 1060 is the sweet spot for miners, and its price is inflated because of this. However, is some of this just related to the Christmas price spike, and I can expect the price of used cards to return to the sub $200 range? Or are these prices here to stay until the next generation cards are released?
I just never seem to get money to spend on computer-related stuff at the right time.
