Who wants to buy GPUs that were redlined for three years in a data center? Maybe there's a market for those, but most people already seem wary of lightly used GPUs from other consumers, let alone GPUs that were burning in a crypto farm or AI data center for years.
- coryrc 10mo agoDepends on the price, of course. I'm wary of paying 50% of new for something run hard 3 years. Seems an NVIDIA H100 is going for $20k+ on EBay. I'm not taking that risk.

That is why I can lease a car for 3 years for the same payment as a 6 year loan (more or less) - the lease company expects someone will want it. If there is no market for it after they will still lease it but the cost goes up
