Should I put up my 280X for sale and go back to my HD7850 for the time being? I'm thinking I could just take advantage of the high price and people are buying used 280X's for ~$400 and I can probalby get a very easy $350 out of it and my 7850 should be sufficient enough in games for a while longer until new cards comes around (perhaps the Nvidia 8xx series)?

I would advise you to sell it for $400 if you're not into mining. If your 7850 is 2GB, then it can definitely hold up until the market improves.

With cryptos being in the gutter for the past few weeks and AMD announcing 2 new GPUs (265 &280), as well as some online retailers accepting orders on future shipments which are closer to MSRP, I think the prices will only start to go down from here.
