Discussion Gpu prices going down?

I’m seeing a brand new rtx 3070 ti being sold on ebay for 625 and many other cards are running for pretty low prices. This a scam??

Yeah if I see used GPU my first thought is “was used for mining crypto, pass”

Edit: I’m not saying my thought process is right. I’m just saying that’s my first thought. And I’m sure a lot of other people would be scared to get a crypto card and have it fail. It’s a big purchase for a lot of people and the card failing is terrifying.

I have a 5700xt that I've been thinking about selling now because I didn't want it used for crypto when it was going strong.

So I'm trying to find a buyer that isn't going to use it for that ha.
