They say they are doing everything in their power to put a console or graphics card in your hands. Their best will not be good enough this holiday season. One year after the next generation of gaming was supposed to arrive, people are still forking out hundreds of dollars over MSRP for a PS 5 or Xbox Series X, and they are often still paying double what a new PC graphics card was originally supposed to be.
Remember when I told you how the two graphics cards in the photo above were worth $2,570 on the open market? That was a huge leap compared to the total they could get in December 2020. The same photo has $2,605 worth of graphics cards on the secondhand market. They have not dipped one bit.
The PS5 and Xbox Series X are fetching higher prices this week than they did in March 2020, so you can expect to pay over $800 on average for what should have been a $500 game console.
The key findings from our latest dive into eBay sales data are here. It includes the latest street prices for every console and graphics card released this generation, after looking at a number of fakes, bundles, freak outliers and other eBay listings that muddied the data.

The PS5 is currently worth 1.74 times its price.
The chart shows that the PS5 is no longer worth $1,000 as it was in December 2020, but the PS5 Digital Edition can still fetch twice its asking price on eBay, and even the Xbox Series X appears to be more desirable than before. The less expensive Xbox Series S has finally come down to a mere $50 over its original list price of $300, which is a bright spot.
The 3070 Ti is a little less powerful for games than the 3070 Ti, but it is fetching more than the 3070 Ti. The 3070 has reduced power consumption, a smaller frame, and no nerfs to the mining industry. It is remarkable how much less the 3060 Ti fetches now, despite being fairly close to a 3070 in performance and well regarded for both gaming and mining from what I have heard.
The 3060 Ti is in greater demand than ever, and the $400 card is pulling down $1,447 on average, though I didn't break it out in the chart. I am not surprised that it is one of the best picks for smaller cases.
The raw street prices don't tell the whole story. I compiled a chart of how many consoles and components changed hands on eBay this past week, and it was interesting to see that less than half of Sony PS5s are moving, but almost twice as many of the graphics cards.

Lower secondhand sales numbers for consoles don't necessarily mean weaker supply. Maybe more people are getting satisfaction outside of eBay because the likes of Sony and Microsoft are allowing more people to buy consoles at retail instead of on eBay. On the graphics side of things, we can still see that the original excellent Radeon RX 6800 is still in high demand, even though it has been replaced by the newer, better and more powerful graphics cards.
Prices shouldn't go down anytime soon because there is no end in sight for the great shortage of graphics cards. It will likely linger for most of the year of 2022, according to both Intel and the two companies that expect it to linger. The chip shortage is a complicated problem and it takes time to add more factories.
Over the past year, using a very particular set of skills I have acquired over a long career as a dealhunter, I have been able to purchase a PS5 and a Founder's Edition of the Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti. I don't plan to sell them, they're worth $2,317 today. Next check-in, I hope those prices will go down a lot.
