So bought a used gtx 1070 for a good price, I know it was used for mining but its in perfect condition has not been flashed and works just fine.

Included in the box was the receipt for warrenty purposes , Who ever bought this card it was as a job lot of 180 card with a cost of around 150k , Oh my since this was only purchased beginning of 2018 I am guessing somebody lost a bit of dosh trying to do this.

The only winner out of this would have been PBtech I am guessing.

And now the market is flooded with these cards (which are great cards mind you, I use one myself) so the regular consumers now win with getting a decent card for less than $300 that can play essentially any game without any issues.

I dabbled with mining. It only took a day to note I was spending more in power than what I was making back in Ethereum.

If you can get GTX1070 for less than $300 please let me know where. I would love one but all of the ones on Trademe and FB Marketplace seem to be $400+ minimum

I have watched a lot of $1 NR ones go for at least $380+

Hey, just thinking, maybe they can turn Tiwai into a huge Crypto foundry :)

Paid $350 for mine via FB which I thought was a good price and why I grabbed it. First thing I have ever bought via FB but was pretty easy , seen it bought it and had it home within the hour can't complain at that 😀
