Not only abuse, some cards are circulating around.
Buyer A buy from Seller than sale to another Buyer B than the cycle goes on.

I ever sold to guy at good price brand new cuz I had a change of mind and the guy seem genuine. . That ****** immediately resold it. How I know? He ask me for warranty receipt. When I told him any warranty I will handle for him. I check his previous listing lo and behold my gpu is sold.

price dropping for new RTX 30 series cards....and now not much new AAA games to play. RTX 40 series coming in 2022 and will drop the price of all the RTX 30 series even more.... Its like buying a second car, bought with COE at 100k vs a new car when COE is at 30k
