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.
A lot of computer parts can be sold at a high profit nowadays.
