This is repeated a lot, but I don't know many that are interested in buying a used card these days due to mining and wear on them. I don't think the resale value is nearly as great as is implied. I could be wrong though. If we get to the point where resale starts to happen in mass, it'll be an interesting item to watch.

A returned 1080TI was the only option for me. Everything else was taken. So far so good. I was the ONLY one at Fry's NOT buying a graphics card for mining (deep learning for me). 4 other people were there to get cards for mining. Apparently they didn't want the 1080TI though because it was not as power efficient for mining compared to the 1070.

I'm sure there's still a demand for them, because it's still possible to turn a profit over the lifetime of the card; it's just not as high as that of the 1070.
