My apartment is toasty, and I'm still miles above my shutdown threshold. Even so, o u c h. Waking up every morning and computing my past day's net take has been unpleasant. Love to everyone out there taking a more direct beating.

what's the easiest way to sell used GPUs? AMZN, EBAY? Still have all the original packaging and plastic bits and such as I'm still turning a profit but it's 70 Fahrenheit in Seattle and @tradwiferobot wants to be able to use the oven without logging in and killing my workers

Well, end of a fun era. I listed four of my GPUs on eBay and set another two up with some tweeps. If I hit the going eBay rate, even after they take their 10% cut I should be in the black on capital, so that's nice.

Have bids on 3 cards already, from a Russian. I panicked for a second at the thought of paying to ship across the Pacific, but fortunately eBay restricts to domestic addresses by default. Hmm. If I'd been more thoughtful + had higher n, could've run some experiments . . .

All right. Six cards sold, roughly for what I paid for them (or at a slight profit adjusting for the fact that I sold my old 1080 and kept one of the 1080Ti FTW). Still mining Monero with my E5 2687W-v4 chips, but I might cut back on that once it really warms up. Full circle!

Overall, I think I made about $1500 net of electricity. Purely as a function of the hours I burned on this project, this was an economic loss given my marginal value of time. But factor in the value of learning, experimentation, heating, and entertainment, and I made a killing.
