150 USD is more than I'd pay but if you need a system then I guess it's alright.

x79 isnt worth it anymore given that ryzen exists

It's an older outdated board, that's why it's cheap, you'd have to buy a compatible CPU. So an LGA 2011 X79 compatible CPU from 2011 or 2012. You can get a modern Intel or AMD board for the same price and not have to find a 10 year old processor. In my opinion, it wouldn't be a good investment. Especially in the world of Ryzen.

That isn't cheap for something that old and dated. Would not get it. Sure you can get some cheaper cpu's but in the end the whole package IF you manage to get it for 150$ (which is unlikely with this bidding stuff) you'd still at least spend around 250$ for board + decent cpu + 16gb of ram which is basically 50$ of from a intel i5 10400f build or 3600 build that would wipe the floor with this thing.

 

That is IF you manage to get it for 150$ as this is a piece that can be bid on. Then you have to manage to snag a ocable i7 as well single core performance on those xeons ain't good which is what you need for games and something like a 4930k is at least 60$ + some used 16gb ram for 40$.

Price can't be justified on the basis of the board's capabilities. Name-brand X79 boards, especially the Asus ones, still command silly prices on eBay because there's an enthusiast niche for them, but you're certainly not getting value.

Seems overvalued to me. Looking at local classifieds, combos with RAM and CPU included are that price range. You are paying about double of what the board alone probably is worth. Maybe bit more if you have capable CPU and other parts to really utilize the board. But still wouldn't call it a "steal".

Same board I’m looking to get. That is cheap compared to the other listings. 
Local guy has one with ram and a cpu but claims he doesn’t have a cooler or strong enough psu to see if it posts. 
Ive spent the same amount on my old boards a couple years back, gonna do it again when I get another case.
