So strange. I can probably sell my 4GB Pi 5 for about 40% more than I bought it for... 3 years ago. This isn't how computers are supposed to work, let alone Pis.

I get what's happening, but it's strange to see it happening.

Actually, could I sell it for ~10% less than someone would buy it new? Is there a market for used Pis? Maybe 30%, I don't know. That I can sell it for what I got it for at all is wild.

I'm still surprised that cryptocurrency fucking the GPU market was just a warm-up for the real supply chain shortages.

  • Good point, everyone was expecting GPU prices to go down and all crypto bros to drop their mining rigs, but they can just repurpose them now...

Huh and I am running home assistant on my Pi 5 I guess it is time to sell.
