RTX 3060 8GB

Checking a second-hand price
As mint-condition guidance, treat $387 as a fair asking price — that is 80% of $484, the last new price we recorded, on 2026-08-20. It is calculated from our own tracking, not observed second-hand market data, so treat it as a sanity check rather than a quote.
Found it second-hand? Paste the listing price into the calculator to score it against today's market before you buy — that is exactly the case this tool is built for.

A previous-generation part is ranked among previous-generation parts, because that is the choice a buyer of one is actually making.
