2-3 months ago , i bought a used gtx 1070 MSI gaming X for 430 euroes . Now , the cheapest you can find is 620 euroes... 

The Asus GeForce GTX1070 8GB ROG Strix OC (90YV09N0-M0NA00) which is about the same as the Msi gaming X in price , costs roughly 650 euroes! 

 

So , i was thinking , hey! i can sell that bad boy for like 570-600 euroes , and wait for the prices to drop , and buy one later..

 

The question is , are prices gonna drop ? Because from what i see , the prices went up from summer till December , then they dropped a little bit , and now they have spiked once again even though bitcoin prices have plummeted...

In, essence, is it worth it to sell it for 570-600 euroes , and wait to buy one for a normal price , or will prices never drop ? and if they do , how much time are we talking about ? 1 motnh , 2 months? how much ?

If I were you, I wouldnt sell it. I have had enough of people whining about high prices delaying their upgrade plans over and over again.

They have to, mining won't last forever.

 

I think that soon, the miners will sell their cards once cryptocurrency loses its value in an attempt to get one last bit of profit out of them.

id say prices come down in a month or two if you are planning on selling it but that's just a guess.  But if i were you i'd hang onto it treasure it, love it, don't ever let it go.

wise man , wise words
