As a homelabber, that 5090 I bought a couple years ago for 2k just sold for 9k and I paid off my car.

Heh, good for you. It's insane. A friend of mine just got ripped off here (I posted about it the other day but it never got traction), he is a student and bought what he thought was a GPU but it was actually an empty shell with the GPU and the RAM removed from the board.

Crazy times!

Congrats on getting rid of the debt, that's really a great feeling.

That really sucks. Sorry for your friend.

Yes, quite. He's a very nice guy, this was a robbery except that a useless piece of junk changed hands.
