Nvidia’s RTX 4090 remains the undisputed most powerful GPU on the market despite being a year-and-a-half old. Reselling it later might not be as easy as expected and may not fetch as much money as anticipated.
Wccftech reports that Micro Center’s GPU Trade-In Program valued an MSI RTX 4090 at just $700, which is 36% of its total cost.
The MSI GeForce RTX 4090 Gaming Trio, priced at $1,940 at Micro Center, shocked a reader who tried to trade it in for only $700 through the program. Finding a working RTX 4090 at such a low price is unlikely.

Trade-in programs are common among retailers like Newegg and Amazon. Newegg offers up to $1,500 for a used RTX 4090, closer to its market value.
The low valuation of the RTX 4090 at Micro Center raises questions. While aging GPUs may decrease in value, $700 seems unusually low. Getting a quote in person at a local Micro Center may provide a more accurate assessment.
Despite being older, the RTX 4090 remains the top graphics card in the market, commanding higher prices due to demand. It’s advisable to explore various trade-in options rather than rushing to sell the GPU independently.
