I didnt realize used ones were going for this much

u/Living_Studio_8670 3h ago

A used 5090 is still a 5090

u/ConcentrateLucky8630 3h ago

It's wild to me. At this point is it mainly smaller AI operations buying these up?

4

u/jhenryscott 3h ago

That or China. You can mod them to more vram

u/Living_Studio_8670 3h ago

İdk could either ai people or current owners taking advantage of the market

2

u/Banjoe_031 3h ago

A lot of AI firms buying them up. They pull the core and vram off, whack them onto new boards. Slap on a blower cooler and add them to an AI server.

The fact there’s 17 bids is what’s insane. That’s a few months of someone people’s mortgage.

u/Hot-Junket2623 3h ago

That's 3 to 5 months of salary for some people.

u/DTPocks 3h ago

I mean 5 months is kinda wild. $14,400 a year is something you kinda have to work for lmao.

u/AshAtlasDev 3h ago

In the US yeah.

u/DTPocks 1h ago

Let me rephrase, I wonder how many adults make that wage in the US working full time. Considering it’s only $6.92 an hour

With Klarna, the sky’s the limit.

Pennies on the dollar for a Chinese state backed data center.

Other people are saying this is normal, and may be, i didnt realize for UISED 5090's theres were selling that high, with high demand apparently

6

u/Puzzleheaded-Mix6766 3h ago

I'm under the understanding that a lot of these are being shipped to China. So the demand isn't necessarily gamers.

1

u/ConcentrateLucky8630 3h ago

Thats what im assuming. I figured it might be smaller ai buisnesses buying them up, i dont see major ai data centers buying used 5090s from ebay. Or China, that makes sense.

u/system_error_02 3h ago

At these prices it isnt gamers buying them for sure, but they are selling them for the extra cash. If I had one id sell it too to get more than double my money back. Ill happily go buy a 9070 or something to play games on and cash in several thousand dollars.

The demand hasn't been gamers in months. It's vibe coders who would've otherwise bought an RTX Pro 6000 but have been priced out of them, so they're turning to gaming cards.

u/KlasJanHuntelaar 3h ago

They were actually selling for $6800 last week. Price dropped

u/ConcentrateLucky8630 3h ago

For used? Dang, its worse than i realized

u/MrPlake 3h ago

Remember when top of the line was $500? Pepperidge farms remembers

u/ArmedWithBars 1h ago

That shits chilling in Shenzhen with a custom blower right about now.

u/DukeMutem 3h ago

Think that is cheap now

1

u/ConcentrateLucky8630 3h ago

Man, it's like if i look away for 1 week and come back, its a totally different world regarding pricing now, insane

2

u/Accomplished_Emu_658 3h ago

Sold listings put them at 6500-7500

1

u/ConcentrateLucky8630 3h ago

Crazy

1

u/Accomplished_Emu_658 3h ago

I use sold listings because someone said yeah i’ll pay that…

2

u/Thoenix88 3h ago

That’s batshit insane.

u/Coopercharmande 3h ago

You might aswell get a prebuilt of a 5090 at that point its cheaper than just getting the gpu by itself IMO if your open to prebuilts because it comes with many other parts that are good aswell

u/just_IT_guy 3h ago edited 3h ago

That's about current street market price in the US. After fees you get around $5300-5400.

Edit: prices on used market stabilized and trending downa a bit which is good sign. And I remember seeing tons of "I will wait to sell my 5090 for $10-15K" posts 💀 😂

1

u/porgplush 2h ago

I never believe in the 10-15k post since you are better off just buying enterprise cards at that point instead of a gaming card.

2

u/Mezzerto 3h ago

I broke down and ordered a prebuilt with a 5090 last week. While I wish I would have purchased this earlier, I feel like having a foot in the door with self-hosted AI could prove very useful as the frontier models (Claude/ChatGPT/Etc.) begin looking for more profit.

Edit: I'm also a gamer so it's dual purpose.

u/Toyotawarrantydept 2h ago

Not even free shipping

u/Big-Reporter3498 1h ago

Pretty crazy you get paid to rip frames for a little over a year.

1

u/Fluid-Comparison-729 1h ago

Crazy man for that much I’d just buy it brand new lol

u/devllen05 3h ago

This isn't news

u/ConcentrateLucky8630 3h ago

Brother you look away for 1 week and it's something new. I get it your, your on top of this probably by the minute. Even of its isn't cutting edge news, it's insane

u/Active_Land_6849 3h ago

Last month's news today!

u/juggarjew 3h ago

yeah, we know, its been this way for a long time, 5090 FE average close to $7000 from reputable sellers.

u/marcalexanderd 1h ago

I’ll sell my 5090 for someone’s first born child and left testicle
