How Much Would You Ask?

Solution
Check what others manage to sell their stuff for, on a few marketplaces and set a price a bit over what others are selling a similar quality product for.
Brace for hassling and, in this day and age, also brace for professional time wasters putting in decent bids just to leave you hanging while they wait for other sellers accepting lower prices (always check profiles on anyone bidding to see if they've previously been bidding on a lot of stuff, to try to avoid them) :)

It also depends on the area you live if you want to try selling it on Craig's List. If you live in a bigger city you will get more hits from buyers but then are up against more competition. If you live in a small town, you may not hear from anyone at all, BUT you might get to get more for it with a buyer wanting it with no alternative competition.

I am no longer selling anything on eBay because of their working with the IRS and state revenue governments*. That and their fees and the cost of shipping something sold across state lines. These days, I just sell my used hardware on CL in my city. I posted a GTX 970 for $200 and got a hit within three hours for it. It was sold the next day. I would ask $250 and see what happens. Miners are still snapping up powerful previous generation GPUs for much more than they were worth this time last year.

*I have a BIG problem with the IRS and state department of revenue offices thinking that they are validated that we should pay income taxes on items sold that we purchased with our POST-TAXED disposable income. But that's for another thread.

I might do just that. $250. Looking at tom's gpu hierarchy chart, the GTX 980 is in a tier between the GTX 1060 and 1070. Newegg is asking $370 (new) for the MSI Gaming X GTX 1060 equivalent of my card. Of course the 1060 has 2GB more vram, so there's that.
