Micro Center Criticized for Low Trade-In Offers on RTX 4090 GPUs

Micro Center's trade-in program offers just $700 for the high-end RTX 4090, significantly below its market value.

  • Micro Center's trade-in program is offering shockingly low values for the RTX 4090, with estimates as low as $700, which is less than half of the GPU's market price.
  • The RTX 4090, Nvidia's flagship GPU, is still considered the fastest on the market, with prices rising due to the AI boom and import restrictions.
  • Competitors like Newegg offer much higher trade-in values, up to $1,500, highlighting a stark contrast in trade-in program competitiveness.
  • Despite the low offer, the RTX 4090 remains highly sought after in the used market, with prices on platforms like eBay significantly exceeding the trade-in offer.
  • Experts suggest shopping around for better deals and consulting with hardware specialists before settling on trade-in offers.
