So I decided to get rid of some of the old stuff I have laying around from my old PC. It's mostly "garbage" by today's performance and I realize most of it will go for symbolic prices (or maybe it will go to an e-waste container in the end), but I got confused when going through listings online regarding motherboards.
I have a X79 motherboard (MSI X79A-GD45 PLUS to be precise) collecting dust and when I go to places like eBay I see A LOT of listings of 100+. At first I thought - maybe it's just the low number of MSI boards, but checking for X79 for LGA 2011 in general, the trend seemed to be similar - very few used boards below 100 pounds (was looking at ebay.co.uk specifically). Am I totally missing something or such older used boards can still be this pricey and people still buy them (listings ofc is not equal to sales)?
