> You'd have a 12k mobo you can resell

I doubt anyone would buy a 12k mobo from someone off the street. In fact, I doubt anyone would accept a _free_ 12k mobo from someone off the street - if you need that kind of hardware, the risk of questionable sourcing is probably higher than the cost the board.

It'd sell in 5 minutes on /r/hardwareswap

Well someone just tried to sell one on Amazon... no idea if it stayed there for long, but it was there. Same goes on Ebay. I don't think he could sell it for 12k, but he can certainly sell it for quite a bit.

Next you'll tell me that there's no market for used cryptocurrency mining GPUs...
