BS. A used (not available new) 5800X3D is 350€, while a new 9800X3D is around 460€.

I think its the memory price checked and 32gb of ddr4 is a 170 eur while same size kit in ddr5 is over 400 now. If you want to build a cheap 1080p 1440p gaming desktop it all adds up.

base speed 32gb ddr 5 ram goes for around 800€, aka 4800 MT.

The article claims "Second-hand prices for the 5800X3D average around $500-$600 on eBay. Some of the highest-selling units sold at nearly $800, showing how desperate some buyers are to buy AMD's best gaming chip that still uses DDR4 memory"

This is absurd. "Average quoted" on ebay does not mean anything, neither dors their claim of "highest selling" which is "highest listed". Nobody is buying at these prices.

People buy the lowest priced (incl. Shipping) with modifiers for professional>private, seller review rating, location and picture/description quality.

eBay Seller Research shows that the average sold price for a 5800X3D has increased by about $100 in the past 30 days, from ~$360 to ~$460.

You can search sold auctions to get an idea for what things actually sell for. I saw the majority of 5800x3d selling for ~$500 so this looks to be mostly true to me.
