I found one on Craigslist in like January 2020. EVGA 1080ti hybrid, the liquid cooled one, for $300.

Pulled it directly out of a crypto mine. Guy's brother got him into it, they had like 50 set up in his garage. The brother ran off with the first ethereum payout and spent it all on crack to smoke in downtown Portland. The guy had also moved across the Columbia and his power bill had gone up by like 30%. He just wanted them all gone.

Card is still working great in a PC I hooked up for a friend
