The cheapest used eBay offer we list is $4,500 delivered, cheaper than three-quarters of used listings. See the used market range ↓

Buying Guidance

Used pricing varies widely. Compare it with dual-GPU alternatives and the W7900, and verify that the listing is the 48GB RTX A6000 rather than a similarly named card.

Software: Ampere and the workstation form factor provide broad CUDA support, display outputs and a much easier installation than passive datacenter cards.

These are asking prices, not sale prices. Buyers often pay less, because many eBay sellers accept offers.

How we calculate these prices

Every day we collect available eBay US listings for the A6000, filter out wrong products and unusable offers, keep used cards only, and add any explicitly quoted shipping to the item price. Tax is excluded.

The green line counts each seller once. It is the median of the sellers' own median prices, so a seller with twenty listings cannot pull it. The blue band covers the middle 50% of individual listing prices. It shows the spread of asking prices, not a confidence interval. A day is shown only with at least five listings from three sellers.

The same listing can appear on many days, so day-to-day changes often reflect which cards are listed rather than a market move. Gaps mark days that were not collected, had too few listings, or are held for review. New-card coverage is too small to report.

For AI / LLM Use

Best for running 70B+ models on a single GPU.

What Models Can It Run?

  • 70B Q4_K_M, 30B full precision
  • 30B Q6_K, 70B Q2_K
  • 30B Q4_K_M, 14B full precision, 70B Q2 (tight)
  • 14B Q6_K, 30B Q3_K (tight)
  • 14B Q4_K_M, 7B full precision
  • 7B Q6_K, 14B Q3_K (tight)
  • 7B Q4_K_M only

Estimated Performance

Generation: ~58 tokens/sec

Prefill: ~691 tokens/sec

Recommended Quantisations

  • Q6_K or Q8 for best quality
  • Q4_K_M for larger models
  • Full precision for 30B and below

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • 48GB usable VRAM: handles large models
  • Ampere architecture: broad CUDA software support
  • Workstation card with display outputs and active cooling
  • 48GB on one GPU avoids multi-GPU model sharding
  • Workstation card with display outputs and ECC-capable memory

Cons

  • Moderate memory bandwidth: not the fastest for inference
  • 300W TDP: high power draw
  • High purchase price relative to used multi-GPU options
  • Slower than newer flagship cards when a model already fits in 24GB

Community Verdict

  • r/LocalLLaMA

    Only realistic single-GPU option for 70B Q4 models. 48GB VRAM in a workstation form factor.
