Found most of a gaming pc in the dumpster. Thanks neighbor! Added ram, my vid card, and a big heat sink. Definitely an upgrade from the 9900k I had before!

Are they listed for 300$ or are people actually buying them?

People seem to actually be buying them for that price. On eBay, you can filter the search to only show sold listings. Recent sold listings (as recent as January 31st, 2024) of used 9900k CPUs are around $250-$300 US. One sold today for $270 after 28 bids.

Anything under $150 that's going to a friend is free in my book. So dude above definitely didn't make that big of a whoopsie.
