Are you being deliberately obtuse, or do you genuinely not understand something this simple? The point in contention is whether the RTX 3000 series will have a pronounced effect on RTX 2080 and 2070 pricing in the next few months:
For that to happen, you need a supply. There is not an adequate supply to disrupt current pricing. Chiefly, this needs to be of the RTX 3000 series, but it also helps if there is a continued supply of RTX 2000 cards. NVIDIA ended production of the RTX 2000 series in June:
Report: NVIDIA Ends Production of GeForce RTX 20 Series GPUs
You just linked GTX 900 series cards in any condition on eBay. Nobody on eBay is an officially authorized reseller except stores like Newegg that also maintain a shop. Furthermore, "Used" condition GPUs do not compete with "New" GPUs; thus they have almost no impact on new GPU pricing. The fact there are still a tiny few GTX 900 series cards floating out there at ridiculously high prices only strengthens the point I'm imparting to you. I just gave you the link. In fact, the cheapest new GTX 960 from an authorized reseller is directly from MSI themselves on Amazon-- it's $300:

*Edit* LOL, nope, not even that one. That's actually sold by "J-Tech Digital".
So how would that possibly have a positive impact on current GPU pricing such as RTX 2070s or 2080s? It's vastly inferior to the MSRP price/performance ratio of RTX 2000 series cards! Conversely, how would that present an example of new cards driving down the price of increasingly rare older GPUs still available?
I was talking about used cards and Nvidia sold plenty of them so there is many of them still on the market used market sometimes people have them still in the original box as display units. This is the point I am making.
