Never say never. I still have 3 Voodoo 3000s and 2 Voodoo 5 5500s and people are always trying to buy them off of me. They want them for retro gaming and such.
The 980 TI was a good card. I just bought a 3060 Ti Brand new in the sealed box on Market Place for $175 USD. I think it's a much better card for about the same as the 980 Ti is going for on eBay. I would shop around for a good used video card before I would buy a card that was nearly 10 years old.
I personally think the used market has suffered inflation quite badly, GPUs of the last few generations have gotten really quite expensive, reducing the number of people upgrading and actually creating a larger van for the used market, newer cards are holding their value very well and as a result anything remotely capable and seen as even at worst a temporary solution is now more expensive than it should be, the market is pretty populated with 1080s and 1080tis but they are fetching about as much as 2080 varieties. I just managed to get a 2080s for 130£ which is an incredible deal, but a 2080 shouldn't be much more anyway in my opinion, seeing 1060s and 1070s for the 100£ mark is a joke to me, just about 1080p cards and new releases are completely out of touch, either well priced and zero stock or something so horribly priced you'd rather SLI a load of smart TVs. Used market is in as big of a state as the new Market, being a budget gamer is virtually impossible.
I have the same card, but mine got burnt by a new(literally a few hours old) FSP power supply that I bought as backup PSU because of the online store sale.
980Ti is banger but its obsolete nowadays, would never play on one again

A 3060 ti for that price is amazing, i paid £220 last year for one.
