 Mc> Speaking of which, any chance you're willing to sell your old GPU? (^_^)

I've already sold it..

 Mc> You know it's bad when...my 1060 3GB can be sold *used* for double what I

Yeah, it's a crazy market.  I sold my old GPU on eBay, and the bids reached higher than I paid for it new, though toward the end of the auction, the 2 highest bidders backed out and asked me to withdraw their bids..  The first said he would be unable to pay in a reasonable time (seemed sketchy) and the other said he had already bought another when he was outbid (I suppose that's understandable).  I withdrew both bids (I'd rather have a paying buyer), and the high bid ended up being less than what it would have been if the 2 high bidders hadn't backed out.  It ended up selling for less than I paid for it new - and then eBay ended up charging about $40 of fees.. :/

The winning bidder was in another country (Canada), and eBay showed that they ended up paying about $44 in shipping (I didn't realize that as I shipped it via eBay's Global Shipping program) plus another $30 or so in import fees.. They ended up paying about what it cost new for me due to those fees. :/
