>I've been tracking AWS for a long time, with a specific emphasis on pricing. "What happens if AWS hikes prices" has always been something of a boogeyman, trotted out as a hypothetical to urge folks to avoid taking dependencies on a given provider.

New egg still has used cards for...better prices. They're going up a too but GPU tech hasn't advanced that much in the past 5 years, minus Ray tracing. I've bought 4 used cards from them now and can vouch that they sell good stuff.
