Help, I'm confused!
I currently own an EVGA 980 Ti SC, which I've been thinking about selling to help offset the cost of a 1080 Ti SC. Well, to my surprise, it looks like the 980 Ti SC is currently selling for a price that seems way to high. Take a look at the prices in the below links.

Something seems fishy, what's going on here? Does this have to do with the rise of cryptocurrency mining, should I ride this wave and put my card up for sale immediately?

As always, thanks for the help!

Well yeah because that's one of the last "new" 980 Ti's available. So supply and demand say there is very little supply so the price increases. The used market will be much less than that.

I think they're still going for around $300 used. I was thinking about doing the same as you and selling mine a few months ago. I decided to keep it a while longer since it's still doing fine with my 1440p monitor.
