I'm curious about the current price range for a 5800X3D in the UK. I've been actively bidding on eBay but always seem to get outbid. I saw one listed for £400, which feels a bit high. I bid up to £335 but was outbid with three days left. Any insight into what I should expect to pay?

Finding a good price for the 5800X3D is tricky since it's end-of-life now. It might be worth checking out the 5700X3D or even the 5600X3D as they could be more reasonably priced and still give decent performance boosts over the 3800X. But yeah, expect to pay a premium since demand is high!
The 5700X3D is around £300, which feels a bit steep too.
With the current RAM shortages, many are leaning towards the 5800X3D as it’s solid for DDR4. Honestly, getting one for around £330 is going to be a challenge for a bit. The 5700X3D could be a decent substitute if you find it at a better price point.
Prices for these chips fluctuate based on demand. Since production has stopped, expect to see the 5800X3D being priced higher. You could really benefit from the 5700X or 5700X3D instead for a good upgrade that won’t break the bank too much.
Yeah, but honestly, the 5700X3D is still a bit pricey for the performance it offers compared to the 5800X3D.
£335 feels a bit excessive for a used 5800X3D right now. With newer options like the £120 5600 giving you about 80% of the performance boost, I'd think twice before spending that kind of cash on an older chip. I mean, your 3800X would see a nice upgrade, but there are better deals out there!
I snagged my 5700X3D on AliExpress for just £140, brand new! Talk about a steal!
Wow, that's an amazing deal! When did you buy it? I can’t imagine finding something like that on eBay nowadays.
I really just want the best AM4 CPU before switching to AM5, which is still out of my budget with DDR5 and everything.
