How to Buy a USED GPU (and not get scammed)

got a sapphire nitro+ rx 6600 xt for 200 👍

grabbed RX 6700 XT for 220$, just minor rust on bracket, rest is gud, i only expect the GPU but the sellers send me fully intact product (box, manuals, and even warranty) which gave me surprise

A lot of used stuff I find for higher end is more then msrp

What about buying from real marketplace , what should be checke

I bought a used gaming pc off of Mercari. It has a 3600 and a 1660ti. Got it for $475

just beware of ex mining gpu or refurbish.

I took a risk on a seller with 0 reviews selling a used Rx580 8gb for a bargain 5 years ago and the card that arrived was basically brand new and i still use it to this day.

How to test before buying??
Normal benchmark ok??

i just got a msi rx 5600 for 30 dollars!!!! LOL

Thanks!

Tbh buy 1660 super best for 1080p and can run most games

Love from India

Is buying used only recommended for graphics cards, or what else is also ok to buy used?

and if you fail then just get a refund easy as that

grabbed a 3060 12 gb for 204.54 usd

Please tell me is getting a Intel i5 12400f with a GT 730 and a gigabyte motherboard for $399(including all the other parts I just don't know them) a good offer?

Bought a used 3060ti, 3070 and 3080. All work almost perfect fine with the exception of the 3080 being but hot and lout but still overall saved me about 1000$

i bought a gtx970 4gb for 50€

i bought a 6600xt for $180

I bought a used rx 5700xt used for $160 and it was one of the best decisions i've made with my pc.

I bought Gigabyte GTX 550 Ti Windforce 2X for 2000 RUB from Avito and im so happy

Or electronic recycling can be good to find free sometimes got a Gigabyte 1660 for free

I was so close to get a 3060 but it went over my budget by $10 (I was getting an upgrade)

I sold my 3080-ti for $530 but I was a new account on eBay. 😅 I never really sell anything and haven’t before. But I decided that I should sell it so it’s not sitting around in my room for years gathering dust.

got a used 3070ti for like $600 during the bad gpu crisis when miners bought everything. months after, traded it for a suprim X 3080 and $150 on top. Traded my 3080 for a AIO 3090 and $300 on top for the price difference recently, no complaints and still has 2 years of warranty

The best price to performance won't be on jawa and ebay though, but yeah without them is more risk of running into scams

RTX 3080 XC3 for $490 shipped with tax. Paired with a ryzen 5 5600x… ooooooooh baby.

Let’s mention that guy that’s selling a rtx 3070ti for an absurd price of 1000 dollars

Just got a 3080 ti for 300 dollars

Yeah I wish he mentioned about test though. I want to make sure the GPU I want to buy is good condition.

This guys looks like a tech savvy CallMeKevin lol

I got an rtx 3070(PNY XLR8 3 fan) for 390 dlls in fb market place, it seems i saved over 200 dlls compared to a used one plus taxes.

Gonna say, if you scrounging on a budget, keep an eye out for GTX 1080Tis, solid performance and i see them often dip around 150$

But how if it was used on mining?

It’s pretty much the only way to go under $150

Bro just said ebay. Whispers very safe veryyy safe 👍 😂😂😂
👇

I bought a build with 5600g only and I got a 1660 s used for 70 dollars

Every single one of my GPUs have been used amd none have failed me and yeah I buy from sellers who admit to using them for mining

I work at a computer repair store and luckily I had the privilege of someone just walking in to sell their gpu so I booked his card in and tested it found it was ok and bought it from the guy. Easiest second hand purchase of my life.

Or ill spend my 2000$ on an rtx 4090

If you shopping on facebook marketplace ALWAYS CHECK when was the account created cuz if it is 2023 they just made an account to scam you and other people

Just got a 3080 for $420 after tax on eBay, praying it will be good 🙏🏼

I just found a reference 6900xt for $400

never buy used graphic card they are used mostly in mining

Just grabbed a rtx 3080 for 380$

Idk where to buy used gpu and how much the price should be in Egypt

If the seller has over 2000 positive feedback and 0 negative chances are that even if something does go wrong they will make it right. That was my experience at least.

Just wait till a friend gets an upgrade, I got a 1660 for free
