GPU Market — street prices and value per VRAM

Observed 2026-07-25 · JPY conversion at 1 USD ≈ 155 JPY (fixed conversion; actual FX floats)

Street prices for retail GPUs and GPU-equipped PCs, collected across Amazon (US/JP), eBay, AliExpress, Mercari / domestic used (price-rank aggregates) and Dospara used, ranked by price per GB of VRAM. It doubles as the procurement guide for lending a GPU to murakumo.cloud as a self-hosted node (the store registers a lender).

GDDR7/DRAM tightness plus AI demand has the whole market surging and swinging since early 2026 (used RTX 4090 went 1.5× in six months; new RTX 5090 sits at about 1.75× MSRP). These tables are a snapshot as of the observation date, with confidence labels (confirmed = page fetched / snippet = search snippet / unconfirmed). Listings 30–50% under market (a $60 P40, a $300 3090 on AliExpress) should be treated as scams.

Value ranking (price per GB of VRAM)

¥/GB is an indication from the observed-range median. The top entries are datacenter pull-outs: cheap, but effortful and risky; further down they get pricier but safer and faster. For LLM inference the practical best is used RTX 3090 (24GB, CUDA, from ¥165k in Japan); with a new-unit warranty, RTX 5060 Ti 16GB (¥111,000) is the realistic pick.

# Product VRAM Street price (observed range) ~¥/GB Where Confidence / risk
1 AMD Instinct MI50 32GB (used) 32 GB $120–210 (≈¥19k–33k) ~¥800 AliExpress search snippet / high risk: ROCm support ended, no video output, cooling mod required
2 NVIDIA Tesla P100 16GB (used) 16 GB $99–150 (≈¥15k–23k) ~¥1,100 AliExpress search snippet / high risk: passive cooling, pulled from a datacenter
3 NVIDIA Tesla P40 24GB (used) 24 GB $239–404 (≈¥37k–63k) ~¥1,900 eBay listing / eBay search confirmed (aggregator fetched) / medium risk: Pascal generation, slow, cooling fan required
4 NVIDIA Tesla V100 16GB PCIe (used) 16 GB $270–450 (≈¥42k–70k) ~¥2,900 eBay search confirmed / medium risk: the dirt-cheap SXM2 listings need an adapter and are a different thing
5 RTX 3060 12GB (used) 12 GB ¥28,000–50,000 (winning-bid average ¥36,395) ~¥3,000 price-rank / Mercari search snippet / low risk: an easy entry tier on current drivers

8 RTX 5060 Ti 16GB (new) 16 GB ¥111,000 (Amazon.co.jp 最安) / $549–589 (US) ~¥6,900 kakaku (MSI 16G) / Amazon.co.jp search confirmed (kakaku fetched) / low risk: the cheapest warranted 16GB
9 RX 9070 XT 16GB (new) 16 GB $629–699 (≈¥97k–108k) ~¥6,400 Amazon.com search snippet / low risk: best new-gaming price-performance (no CUDA)

Caveats

  • Prices observed 2026-07-25. Asking prices typically run 5–15% above actual sales (eBay).
  • Mercari cannot be crawled directly, so figures come via price-rank.com (a cross-listing aggregator that includes Mercari; its 7/24 update was confirmed fetched). Links are search URLs.
  • AliExpress product pages were all blocked from direct fetch, so ranges derive from third-party sources as of 2026. Individual listing prices are unverified.
  • Used RTX 30-series (especially 3090) has mining-hardened units mixed in at the bottom of the range. China-modified cards (2080 Ti 22GB / 3080 20GB / 4090 48GB) carry no warranty and a high failure rate.
  • Tesla P40/P100/V100 and MI50 are server cards with passive cooling — a cooling fan and power adapter mod is a precondition. MI50 is past official ROCm support.
  • Domestic high-end used stock is thinning in stores and drifting to marketplaces and auctions (Janpara and Sofmap confirmed zero 3090/4090 in stock).
