BTC mining on GPUs haven't been profitable for a long time, it's mostly ASICs, GPUs can be used for some other altcoins which makes the potential market for used previous generation GPUs even smaller.

That assumes you can add compute in a vacuum. If your altcoin receives 10x compute then it becomes 10x more expensive to mine.
That only scales if the coin goes up in value due to the extra "interest". Which isn't impossible but there's a limit, and it's more often to happen to smaller coins.
