Prices are slowly coming down and I noticed just today that the used market in my area is flooded with cards, but the prices are still high. Just not redic like they were.

They will go down because mining is negative profit right now.

 

Buying cryptocurrencies at lower and lower prices is much more profitable than buying an overpriced video card or holding onto a card that's only mining 1/5th of what it used to.

 

However, they won't go below retail price because VRAM and GPU shortage was an issue even before mining happened.

 

We also need to consider the factor that the used graphics card market will be greeted with a long buffet line of gamers that haven't eaten for a year.
