    HAs anyone noticed the amount of second hand GPU's beginning to flood on to Amazon?

    Now I imagine that a lot of these are extremely stressed components but it's just surprising to see so many at once appear.
    Too much to hope that there are miners trying to get out of the game and that the speculative boom is passing?

    A few weeks back there was absolutely nothing available in the 1070 range.
    Even 2nd hand were going for several hundred above new recommended sale price.


    While the price for "New" is still off the charts all of a sudden there are loads of 2nd hand for much lower.

    Now These 2nd hand are either scams or miners offloading cards (either way I am not buying) but if it is the second option then you may have people getting out of the mining business

    I'm not sure about the 2nd hand, but from the morning there was a lot of "cheap" new 1060 showing on Amazon.
    Maybe it's the same?

    It's pretty clear the majority are a single compromised seller account being used for scams. Their feedback is all about costume jewellery and their current listings has 130 pages of half price tech stuff asking you to email them before buying on amazon.

    The I really wish there was a way to easily report a compromised seller on amazon. Actually, I'd settle for an apparent way for that matter - can't see one.
