The GPU would be a hard sell at 82k given that you can buy a brand new 3080 Ti Gaming OC at 85k with 3 years of warranty. You can pickup a brand new 3080 at 67k itself which also comes with 3 years of warranty. Since yours is out of warranty it would be selling much lesser than brand new ones.
 
It's unfortunate that you bought this GPU when you did. Gigabyte has used mixed metals for the water block which eventually leads to (severe) galvanic corrosion. There have been multiple documented instances of this variant biting the dust. The manufacturing quality of the water block has also been shown to be abysmal.

More on this here, here, here, and here. The list goes on.

One way around this to replace the stock water block with one from a vendor like Alphacool given the PCB is identical to the Gaming/Eagle variants.

The goal of this comment is not to slander your sale post, but to make potential buyers aware of the pitfalls of this particular variant. Gigabyte have been on a roll over the past few years.

Very interesting. Was interested in buying this and add to my bykski cpu block. I guess that is out of question. Definitely don't wanna damage my 40k loop. Can it be salvaged by running an independent loop with radiator and pump-res? Or will that also get corroded.

There are mixed metals in the block itself, so running a separate loop is not a solution.

Mixed metal means you will have to swap with a gpu waterblock compatible with this PCB which should be a reference design. Should be compatible with any wb meant for a gigabyte 3080. Or conversely you can go with a air cooled solution as well. OP have you tried reaching out to GB to see if they have had a recall for this as this is essentially unused ?
