Everything in tech is a depreciating asset. If you're talking about GPUs used for mining crypto, yeah - most people run them well below max load, keep temps stable, and pay close attention to their crypto farm. Buying a used crypto farm GPU is great.
If you're talking about purpose-built ASICs, probably still yes? It's not like it's performing some incredibly unique action when farming for crypto.
The secondhand electronics market is fairly strong.
- bloudermilk 1y agoAny good guides for buying on this secondhand market? I'd love to pick up some older decommissioned hardware but it's hard to find and harder to trust
- kulahan 1y agoI'm not in the market myself; a number of friends buy them on eBay, but I don't know how to differentiate between good and bunk. I would assume that if they're selling 50 of them, though, that it's a good guess. Still, I think it's always something of a gamble. Maybe look for reputable dealers on there.
