I have decided to part out my RX 480 8GB rigs because I can't sell them even with a 20% discount on what they would cost to build from EBay pieces.

I'm now facing an issue that the cards won't mine any more (they rapidly crash) when they are flashed back to their stock BIOS, although I can make them pass all sorts of burn in tests (Kombustor, furmark, GPUmemtest, OCCT memory, OCCT gpu, playing games...) so I think they would be perfectly fine for gaming. They're perfectly fine for mining too with their BIOS mod (memory clocks below stock), but obviously you then need to patch drivers in Windows to be able to play games which gamers won't want to do.

I'm worried that even if I'm honest about that in my item description I'm going to get fucked up the ass by EBAY returns policy unless I list the items as "for parts / not working" in which case it's caveat emptor and they won't even sell for £50 each.

Any thoughts / experiences on that subject?

I will also need to sell the rig frames themselves, do you guys think that fully assembled / setup 6 GPU frames tested and working etc have any value beyond their parts cost now or should I just split these up too?

My mining career has finallly come to a certain end after 4 years because my rig of RX 480 8GB will simply never be profitable again at £0.28 per KWh regardless of what the crypto market does.

All I see on EBay is people failing to sell rigs because they're asking +30% or more on the parts value. So far I've had no interest and mine is priced -10% on parts value so basically cheaper than building it.

I'm thinking that there is potentially just ZERO demand at any pricce for an RX 480 8GB rig in the UK because everyone is getting fucked by the £0.28 KWh. But I don't know any other miners so I came here to ask whether many of you have alternate sources of electricity like renewables or through a business or if we're basically all in the same boat now?
