1. No one, including you, can predict the future, specifically market pricing for RDNA3 cards, especially with constant inflation, supply/demand, and a growing recession.
2. Some people prefer purchasing a NIB GPU at a discounted price, even if it's "older technology", because to them it's still an upgrade from what they have currently.
3. Lastly, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

Don't get me wrong—personally, I definitely empathize with the desire for reasonably priced high-end gaming GPUs. However, with that said, I don't think it's entirely clear to what extent the blame for the situation we saw should be attributed primarily cryptocurrency mining alone. I think it's fair to say that the combination of the pandemic caused supply chain shortages coupled with the increased demand brought about by an extremely sudden, no warning, global "working from home" situation, combined with the common knowledge that using the cards for Ethereum mining could be very profitable—all of these factors came together to drive the prices up beyond reason and out of reach of most people, not doubt.
But I think it's still up in the air as to what proportion of blame, relative to one another, that each factor alone truly bears responsibility for. For example, consider that mining had already been highly profitable for a long time, and yet it never resulted in such big issue until the pandemic went into full effect. Another thing to consider is that when used for mining, cards from AMD always tended to be significantly more profitable at carrying out the task than were cards from NVIDIA (and that's even before/without the additional steps that NVIDIA would go on to take in the effort to even further handicap most of the cards they would be manufacturing). And yet, the increase in pricing, demand, and lack of availability all seemed to be rather uniformly effected across both AMD and NVIDIA, where if anything NVIDIA cards may have been effected even slightly worse, whereas if the problems were being cause entirely due to the profitability of mining it would have been logical for AMD cards to have been effected more so than NVIDIA cards. Though if the increased demand and supply chain shortages were actually the primary source of the issues, then we might expect that they'd have all been more uniformly affected, similar to what we observed. Finally, the prices had already started to return to normal before Ethereum stopped proof of work, and while there was a crash in the aftermath which caused prices to drop, they still haven't fully recovered
