Trend by month
Reported 10 to 13 November: the GA100VFI write-up. On 11-11, as Kate's GA100VFI write-up of 11-10 spread (see Unlock internals: status and what is next), @stcord posted "We are rich" and @voidgiraffe said the cards had "just 2-3x in value". Source: @stcord, 2026-11-11

Source: @gp.x, 2026-11-12 The dated reports of these days, from 2,800 USD paid for an 8 GB card on eBay on 11-11 to a cheapest eBay listing of 4,400 USD for the 8 GB card on 11-13, are rows in the #Price table; every report is also in Price log.

10 GB versus 8 GB
- 11-10: @alexbrandes runs his cards at 40 GB and thought 40 GB "isn't so bad"; @cute_sc2 said the 10 GB card just has less memory, yet its price was then higher than the 64 GB card's (no amounts posted). Source: @alexbrandes, 2026-11-10

Listed versus delivered
- On 11-11 @drew_2 asked whether anyone had sued an eBay seller for breach of contract over a cancellation during a price increase. His seller is US-based; he will talk to a lawyer about claiming the difference in cost of the same purchase, and a relisting by the seller would help his case. @scallion_9883 expected that to be hard, especially with sellers outside the US or EU. @cute_sc2's seller was registered in Germany, and he is claiming damages because he had to make a cover purchase ("deckungskauf"); on 11-12 @drew_2 said that seems to be a legal route in the US too.

Shipping, customs and tax
- UK VAT on used cards. On 11-12 @spectakkular said UK VAT rules make buying used cards domestically advantageous: a UK business that resells the cards has 0 % VAT liability on cards bought in the UK but 20 % if the cards were imported, so UK businesses will likely prefer domestic stock. He also called even 4,000 GBP arguably cheap on the international market. Source: @spectakkular, 2026-11-12

- @wakeupmbrc1 (translated from Russian): the local A100 price is not a market price (Hopper costs the same money); it comes from people buying one card to replace a dead one, and nobody will buy them in clusters; 10k is the price of an MI300X, even more. Source: @wakeupmbrc1, 2026-11-12

- Reported 13 November: GA100s "more or less fungible". @onemillionkates said GA100 parts are now more or less interchangeable, except for the HBM configurations: Samsung 8 GB, SK hynix 16 GB and "the elusive micron 16gb". She sees the market divided between enterprise buyers who want clean hardware (retail A100s) and individuals who do not mind and will get an unlocked CMP; 80 GB A100s may have a higher share of 96 GB parts than CMPs, "but yeah honestly idk".

Parts and services
- Reported GA100VFI glitcher boards (11 to 13 November 2026): the boards for Kate's GA100VFI method (see Unlock internals: status and what is next). On 11-11 @zanooda ordered 15 PCBs from JLCPCB for 350 USD (about 23 USD each), noting that U1 is unpopulated in the BOM, and @ob88594 put a board at 20 USD in China with delivery the next week; several members ordered boards that day. On 11-12 @globalapathy put a JLCPCB board at about 20 USD 95 % assembled at a quantity of 20 (5-piece minimum), or about 17 USD without the MCU and RGB LED, which you would still fit yourself; @analyticeth found PCBWay's quote rising a lot once components are added. @ob88594 says to open the design in KiCad 9. @scallion_9883 says a Pico at about 5 USD does the same job; @kingsizexxxl asked whether a Pico is about 10 USD.

From 11-11 members asked for a group buy of glitcher PCBs (@hammercoral; @fnerdman, @domrockt2 and @lia_oc for Europe and the UK; @markshowa) and for the mod as a paid service (@con3po7016 in the US, @bvls7857 in the EU, and @ikyo, who asked how expensive it would be); @voidgiraffe wants to pay someone who knows what they are doing. @matstatman asked for an EU service that does the 8 GB unlock and adds the NVLink parts: @spectakkular (UK) will probably offer it and might fly out to do larger batches on site, but has nothing set up yet; @cute_sc2 said an official service from him would not be cheap, but unofficially, once his own 21 cards are done, he thinks he could do it for a few hundred dollars per card, without a warranty, and suggested a meetup in a hardware cafe for European owners after Christmas; @neapopa offered the same within the EU once his own cards work. @zingy90210 offered to pool money so a skilled member can reproduce the unlock and write step-by-step instructions, and @globalapathy, @sojun80, @ju5t5omedude and @port00 also asked for a documented, simpler process; @sojun80 and @con3po7016 suggested sharing glitcher boards by post. @peter643 offered to split a 5-board order and post boards on. @sevendaysworth plans to have the phone and PC repair shop that did his x16 cap mods do it once others show which hardware works; @reala7096 will wait (@c133: "probably best to wait a bit"). @globalapathy said no group buy existed yet and that the author should get something per board, and @samuel_hayden. said documentation "is being done". @onemillionkates said she posted enough to relay the concept, not guarantees, and that waiting lets people streamline unlocking and uncover edge cases; @kingsizexxxl expects lots of tutorials.

NVLink bridge prices
- On 11-11 @rrickk420, who said he was buying all the NVLink bridges, wrote that Dell had "them" at 199.99 USD a month earlier and has since removed the item from its site (the product is not named in that message). Source: @rrickk420, 2026-11-11
Source: @rrickk420, 2026-11-11 On 11-12 @ghostinthedatacenter_87281 saw bridge prices moving up on eBay, and @peter643, who had missed the cheaper prices, said used bridges on eBay were 260 (currency not stated); he wants 6 OEM bridges for his 4 cards and lowballed an eBay seller for 6. @cibernox doubted the CMPs could move bridge prices, since supply is not constrained; @spectakkular called it a short-run demand shock (orphaned bridges are rare, and more than 130k CMPs need about 1.5 bridges per card) with a price ceiling in the long run, once people make clones. He believes Elmor Labs bridges were about 100 USD new but says they are no longer made; @alunib named the model, the NVB-3S GPU Interconnect Bridge. Source: @ghostinthedatacenter_87281, 2026-11-12
