When to sell GPU

So I have been saving up for a good pc with a nvidia RTX 3080 for some time, but I don't have enough right now. Quite recently, I managed to get my hands at a RTX 3060ti for £400 (I live in the UK) which is a great price. Anyway, I don't actually need a 3060ti, and some extra profit for selling it would be great, so I'm wondering, when is the best time to sell it? The card I have goes for about £650 on Ebay, which is pretty good profit, but maybe waiting until Christmas would get me more money? Or perhaps the prices are going down and I should instantly sell?

TLDR; When is the best time to sell a RTX 3060ti?

Likely not the right place to ask, since a good number of us would ask you to sell it for no more than $500, but that is not the answer you really want.

 

Fuck you scalpers, fuck you scammers, fuck all of you jerks that charge way too much to tech-illiterate people. 

Unless I say I am speaking from experience or can confirm my expertise, assume it is an educated guess.

Current setup: Ryzen 5 3600, MSI MPG B550, 2x8GB DDR4-3200, RX 5600 XT (+120 core, +320 Mem), 1TB WD SN550, 1TB Team MP33, 2TB Seagate Barracuda Compute, 500GB Samsung 860 Evo, Corsair 4000D Airflow, 650W 80+ Gold. Razer peripherals. 

Also have a Alienware Alpha R1: i3-4170T, GTX 860M (≈ a 750 Ti). 2x4GB DDR3L-1600, Crucial MX500

My past and current projects: VR Flight Sim: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/nathanpete/saved/#view=dG38Jx (Done!)

u probably missed the top already, i don't think ampere will be much higher even though next gen would be even more of a mess, just check ebay or local prices.
