News Micro Center low-balls RTX 4090 owner — Store's GPU trade-in program offers just $700 for Nvidia's flagship GPU

[JamesJones44]

wireless providers were offering close to original msrp for 2 year old trade in phones.

For services providers the favorable trade-ins usually comes with some period of contract lock in so they can make that money back durning the service lock in. The carries are definitely desperate not to lose customers, I think they do gamble a lot

I would not pay even $700 for a fire hazard GPU like the RTX 4090 (Im not sure I would pay anyting at all for it).
But hey, if they are willling to do that I don't see anything wrong here. Nobody is forcing anyone to go that way.
If people think its too low, they can try to sell it somwhere else.

I am sure many would grab a RTX 4090 at $700 even second hand all day long..I would have saved $700 if I could rewind time, sadly I cannot!!!

A Super or Ti version, won't be happening, for a number of reasons:

a. there's no need for one, since 4090 already is a beast of a card

What about for the 10 people that want to game at native 8K? /s

They can always settle for Resident Evil 3 remake, with 200% image quality. Wouldn't try the same with The Last Of Us, though...

You know, on a second thought, I would grab a working one for $ 700 and resell it instantly for a little more
