I agree in lots of 100 they may have some value, but the cost of reworking them, along with the fact that they are old tech, and newer better FPGA's are arriving will drive their price down to virtually nil.
Haha, old tech man, your 5series GPU chips are old tech, they are never in production while spartan6 is the actual low cost xilinx line. If you study the fpga related discussion forums you will find that xilinx has a long time span between anouncing something and the first silicon you can get. So maybe you can get artix7 samples end 2012 ... Your expectation of a 10% resale value could be good starting point for price discussion in case of. Of course we could negotiate a higher resale value (depends on FPGA-type, board type. time frame for the warrant etc ...). Of course not for free as there will be a lot of spartan6 boards for parts use will be on the market if the bitcoin goes belly up. Fine we can go with your 10% resale value number in lots of 100. As far as I'm concerned thats nothing of significance. If you want to argue that 10% resale value is significant, were just gonna have to agree to disagree  |

Power probably will self cut (short out and pop a breaker) if there is a fire big enuf to trigger a smoke alarm.
Probably be too late if you get a electrical fire going that big with no one present, whole structure could go.

You seriously think a once used BGA FPGA has any value ??
Name one institution/entity that will pay any signifcant sum for a used BGA FPGA that has already been soldered in place.

nope. GPU's will probably drop to 50-60% of new price on ebay for a few months then rise back to 70-80%.
Thats not my point, my point is FPGA's will crash to ~zero value, because they have virtually no other use of significance..
If anyone thinks otherwise, feel free to write me a contract to purchase my fpga's in the event that bitcoin goes belly up.

Some states (California) have no property taxes and rely on income tax or sales and income tax.
Just plain false. I live in California, and I would be very happy to not pay Property tax, but I'm pretty sure the Assessor's Office would sell off my house at auction, after a few years, if I forgot to pay that particular TAX. |

Used GPU's do sell for pretty much full price.
Lately used GPU's have been selling for somewhere between the new and the refurb price. Especially 5 series cards.
