GPU's on Ebay

[Blancaster]

Would someone let the people on Ebay know that gpu prices are falling? Seriously, people are still selling them around the prices I could buy them for new. They need to be like $50 cheaper than anything I can find new. 

 

Specifically talking about the 1060, but the others are just as bad.

They'll sell 'em at that price as long as they'll sell at that price.

solution....don't buy it from ebay if you don't like the price

 

once people start to stop buying these, prices will fall

They don't need to be anything. eBay is a marketplace. Are you saying that if you were the seller in this current market where an MSRP GPU is 200$ that is being sold for 360-400$. You'd sell it for 150$?

 

Don't want something that you wouldn't do vice-versa. That is the way of the world.

Uh... a 1050 To?

I feel your struggle man. Same problem as ppl on ebay selling a pc for way more than its new

That's not how free market works.

 

Also why you complaining about ebay price when you can get it elsewhere, cheaper

I don't get it.

 

Maybe I should tell them too that they are selling Xeon processor too cheap?

I think you guys misunderstand me. I know how the free market works. It's those idiots that don't (and the people that buy them). If it's a USED gpu, it /should/ never be sold at the same price or higher than what a new one costs. 

 

And to those of you that say if I don't like it, I shouldn't buy it, what do you think I'm doing now?

No, I'm not talking about MSRP prices. I'm talking about the current price the gpu's. Like if a new one is $400 (while original MSRP is $200), a used one should be less than that. Like as I said $350 or lower.

I see, definitely could have been more specific to prevent people going for the obvious choice which is usually MSRP. 

 

But what you're talking about is supply and demand. If a retailer doesn't have the 10## card at all or if the retailer doesn't have the specific brand+model card at all. Also, brand and model that a consumer wants. While it may be only 20 or 30$ more for ex: an 10## EVGA Superclocked than another same GPU of a different model. That's still 20-30$ more.

 

Sure someone could sell it for 50$ less or even 100$ less. Someone would snatch it up quick and worse sell it back at a higher price on craigslist. In the long run, someone selling something for cheap doesn't affect the market. 

 

If X product were to cost 99.99$. And some random seller sells 500 quantities of X product for 59.99$. Well this is a 40% off and seems more of a sale in which people would buy all 500 quantities within a few hours. This does not affect the market.

 

Now if the same random seller sells 500 quantities of X product for 89.99$. Well this is a 10% off and not much of a deal. In this case, other sellers would then try to beat that random sellers price by going down from 99.99$ to 88.99$ or something. Then others will join in. 

 

This also happens on single quantity items. But this for sure does not affect the market. It only affects the profitability of the seller.

I'm starting to notice more sellers listing some cards at lower prices, and letting the bidder pretty much decide the price. One example is the 1070 Ti. I'm seeing a couple at under $400 USD. Then again, there was still 5 or more days left in the auction.

Free Market doesn't really apply here. eBay is generally independent sellers doing what they want. What they SHOULD sell at and what they DO sell at are two completely different things. This is where "speaking with your wallet" comes into play. You don't like the prices? Don't buy it. Unfortunately, someone will, and as long as that's going to happen, the market plays itself out like that until that demand dies down.
