GPU prices often go crazy. Usually its a supply and demand thing.
In particular, a whole bunch of certain GPUs are bulk bought by cryptocurrency miners making it hard to get your hands on certain models as a gamer.
I suspect there are supply issues at the moment, hence the higher prices.

So in trying to keep the costs down for my son's PC build, he's been looking at eBay for second-hand parts (like a GPU).
What we're finding is that these often seem to be going for silly prices, sometimes more than they can be bought new. Is this normal? Are there naive buyers out there or is something more fishy going on?
