I recently had a new colleague in his late 60s bring in an EVGA GTX 1080 FTW for me because I mentioned wanting a budget-friendly GPU for my secondary PC. He said he wants nothing for it, but since he's a nice guy and seems to be struggling financially, I want to offer him something. I'm not swimming in cash either, so I'm looking for advice on a fair price I could pay him for it. After considering everyone's input, I'm thinking of offering him $150 CAD (around $80 USD). What do you all think?

Honestly, I’d say anywhere from $80 to $125 is fair, depending on its condition. Just make sure it works properly, and if it does, that price seems reasonable!
You could go with something like $50 if you want to keep it casual and not make things awkward between you two. Just make sure it's functioning well.
I think offering around $100 would be a solid choice. It’s a nice goodwill gesture, and it reflects the card's age and performance. The GTX 1080 can still do a decent job for casual gaming, but it's definitely not the latest tech.
Yeah, I agree! I’ve got one too, and while it’s not top of the line anymore, it still holds up well for most games at decent settings.
I recently got a 1080 for around $83 on eBay, so in general, I'd say it's about worth $100 these days. Just make sure you’re both happy with the price!
I think $100 is a nice middle ground. That shows appreciation for his generosity without breaking the bank. Plus, he might actually feel more comfortable accepting that.
That seems a bit low, considering how much work and gaming it can still handle. I’d lean more towards $100 if you can manage it.
