You could almost sell a RTX 3090 for more today than what it cost brand new when it came out six years ago

  It's still very contrarian to expect GPUs won't depreciate rapidly. Yes 3090s were a good investment then, but way worse than just buying Nvidia stock directly

    Waiting for them to come down any day now. Been waiting since 2017.

      First it was crypto, now AI. Just because the market can stay irrational for very long doesn't mean crashes don't happen. What nobody knows is when.

        at some point you have to accept that the market is actually rational

          Yup, just like crypto and tulips were rational behaviors for the global economy. Or investing 5% of world GDP in half-baked AI is.

            wanting to get rich quick is completely rational if you ask me ;)

              Only if they do get rich, if they lose money, it's stupid. Technically stupidity is also rational? The bottom of rationality? :-))

    How did we go from "I expect to lose only 1000-2000 if I try to sell my used equipment" to "you should have just bought NVDA to get a better return." The point wasn't the better return, the point is that I wouldn't lose all my initial investment if i decided I wanted to sell it. And the fact of the matter is that in 2026, all electronics has gone up, not down, and sought-after GPUs have gone up in price in the used market.
