    It seems like a logical outcome, that eventually GPU's won't cut it for mining and the supply will overtake demand when they all flood onto eBay and other sites. On the other hand, I wonder whether being used for mining will have any effect on their longetivity. They could make a very attractive used purchase if the effect is not significant.

    I personally am waiting for SSD prices to crash (and will likely get one more 4TB HDD in the meantime). Was waiting for RAM prices to crash, too - but after another spike to $150 per 16GB stick I was very happy to grab one for $100-something from a seller who didn't react in time.
