Forgot to add that I sold my 2060 for 600 back in February

I bought a 2080ti from a friend for a really good price. Agonized about selling my 5700xt, was over double the msrp at the time. Eventually I bought an R7 2700 for 180 CAD an x470 motherboard and built my girlfriend her first gaming computer. I overclocked the 2700 and her ram and undervolted the 5700xt. I might be an idiot for not selling, but hearing her laugh with her friends while hunting ghost in phasmophobia is worth it to me.

You wouldn't buy 30% markup but you would sell 100% markup. How are you not part of the problem...

Ay thanks for the insight on my question! Glad to get a different perspective, especially one that is more positive than I was thinking.

We're supply constrained right now. If you don't feed into the demand for cards above 30%, then you're not hurting the price other than helping cement 30% over MSRP cards. If you add to supply, you're actually helping lower the price for everyone if it's an elastic market. It's basic supply and demand.

There's no way the price demand will be lifted in a few months, these silicon prices will last likely throughout 2022. Great Die Shrink Tom/Dan!
