On trademe I see sellers for 2k$ (but that doesn't mean they will ever get it sold, could just be someone who's saying "if someone were to want to pay that high then I could upgrade"), but the one I have listed on facebook at 1780$ everyone is trying to tell me that it's worth "1k$ max". trying to figure out the right price to sell it asap

Previous TradeMe listings are your best benchmark but it looks like the prices are all over the place

They are selling that high due to AI demand. 24GB of vram is worth a lot to those people. Auction it off if you’re not sure of it’s value, fb marketplace will undoubtedly low ball you.

+1 for running a Trademe Auction, set the start price at the minimum you will take and let the market decide from there

normally my standards of ethics forbids me from funding a monopoly by playing huge amount of money to an evil company just for hosting a simple website,

 

but it seems that for 1$ auctions it's actually free, so I think I will do that after all, thanks for the idea

The listing may be free, but if it sells for more than $1, the success fee is 7.9% (capped at $499)

Just wait until Trademe offer the free selling days (typically Sundays).

You don't have to pay any success fee for these, which is the only time that I list stuff for sale on Trademe that I'd rather not sell via marketplace.

seems those days are over, they have a free day today but it has forced Ping so you still need to pay 2.19% to them. and ping means that the buyer can just say a lie that he never received it and then u get nothing

TBH, I only sell with Ping on TradeMe these days.
Saves the mucking around with cash or internet banking, esp with the new bank account and name check.
I just bump up the listing by whatever the ping fees will be.

I saw that auction with the $1 reserve which sold for $1,210, from memory the listing had some red flags which indicated you may be taking a punt on the condition. 

 

Oh yep, I checked it, "previous owner removed RGB". https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/marketplace/computers/components/video-cards/pci-express/listing/5355957567?archive=1&bof=BmnmineX

I think you got a damned good price for it if you got 1500.

 

For comparison, I paid $1700 for my 3090 TI brand new 3 years ago :-)

In that case I have to ask, HOW did you get a new one at that price!?!?! I think I bought that 3090 for like 4000$ maybe 4 years ago.

 

But yes, I had plenty of facebook offers for "max 1k" but I was hoping I could get 1300 for it on TM, wasn't expecting 1500.
