ASUS Strix 1070 O8G (the faster version ... slower version is just “8G”) worth how much?

$350 - $400 depending on condition. These are the price those who are selling their GTX 1070 for.

I checked the sls pricelist. All the graphics card is like few hundreds dollars not 300 as u said

Only GTX 1650 is the cheaper on at $299, you can take a look at Fuwell pricelist.
Other cards prices are way more than $300 so if you are looking at RTX 3000 not possible
to get it at $300+.

RTX3050 cost around $500 - $600 than followed by other model.

U mean brand new and second hand same price

I am confused so what are you asking?
GTX 1070 back in the day isn't $300 but around $800 onwards.
Now is not possible to sell so high as at $800 you can get RTX3060Ti instead.

If you are looking at $300 cards usually are low end cards like in the past was GTX 1050
and now is GTX1650.

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.
There are many such people. Lowball the sellers and resell the item. Problem also buyers' mentality, you probably will not want to buy the item from some random sellers and rather buy from one that seems to be pro since all his listings are IT products.

Asking for warranty receipt doesn’t have to mean he’s reselling it.. how would he know you will handle the warranty for him when required years in the future?
I gave him redacted copy told him got any issue come find me he agreed to purchase on that terms cuz of the exceptional price. Usually people within 7 days defective will come find seller for refund not ask for warranty. I sold 1 week later he ask me.

make sure its a graphic card
And make it has display connector (HDMI, VGA, display port, whatever).

Some funny sellers are trying to sell mining graphic card without any port and misleading potential buyers it is a normal graphic card.

GTX950/1050 second hand prices still the same. GTX1050Ti wise will be around $200.
No change for this card not to mention most game it can run.

So to differentiate between mining and normal card , u must look at the ports?
