If i ordered a box of tea and instead received a 3090 i would be so pissed!

[@GreatestMinecraftPlayer]

On god

[@Chris_winthers]

If that ever happens to you, just give me the 3090 and i'll give you some tea

[@Tk-ed8ry]

As a seller I always meet infront of a police station, I had a person want to buy my rtx 2080 super, but as soon as I said meet up infront of a police station. He backed out. So I’m guessing he was a sketchy guy.

[@x4v]

The part about recording the unboxing is very interesting and not something i have considered. Thanknyou for thos video!

[@lonewolfrcs1331]

i just a evga rtx 3070 ftw3 and he came to my house and waited for a hour for me to fully test it and even encouraged me to test it before i even paid for it and it was the best choice i got it for a very fair price other then a little dust it works perfectly

[@ArmanRiforgeur]

Pretty cool seller lol

[@dimitriedan1138]

Same with my seller. He tested the GPU at his house. Works rly good for now

[@RK-xi3ll]

@@dimitriedan1138 my seller sold me a card with physical damage and then threw tantrum about it.

[@newdayoh]

I don't know if I totally agree with you on the non-XT part that person may really be trying to keep someone from returning their card because they didn't read and pay attention; also if miss read and get something you do not want and the seller is not at fault for your misstate, then you will have to pay for the return shipping yourself. Also if you get scammed like the paper edition in most cases eBay will refund you your money and go after the BAD seller themself.

[@Shuffledudee]

With used RTX 3090 24gb prices going down I might upgrade from my 3080 10gb. Doing it mainly because I need the extra VRAM for AI.

[@Doc_OLDGUY_Savage]

That "non XT" really depends on the GPU. Searching for a "RX 6700," obviously, gets ... every ... fracking ... RX 6700 XT. End up updating the search parameter with "non XT;" which only gets a few less ... Having the "NON XT" in a listing, for certain GPUs, helps.

[@TechLens]

Oh god yeah, we do a lot of historical pricing on the channel and that can be a nightmare. But I have a little tip for you... search for "RX 6700 -XT" The "-" is an exclusion parameter for the next characters and will only pull listings without XT in them. Hope this helps!

[@titusg4247]

Damn, I have an RX6700. I don't know much about GPUs tbf. I don't game all that much, and I haven't explored my GPU too much, but I hope it isn't bad or anything😩

[@Thaniblaik]

great guide thank you so much ! well done

[@THORDOX]

Where I live there are PC stores that charge a small fee to test hardware on their own test bench, they will run any benchmark you want. I always prefer purchasing hardware in person and ask the seller to meetup at one of those PC stores

[@jebb450]

What store is it ?

[@THORDOX]

@@jebb450 I am from Costa Rica, most stores here have that service and only charge around $10USD

[@Fun_with_fireworks]

my tips are also: ask for more pictures, asked why they are selling the gpu, how long they have had the gpu, if they have cleaned and replaced the thermal paste, and also if it has had any problems.

[@MagnusThoren-i4s]

What about Newegg? You can absolutely buy there and have buyer protection. They sell used and refurbished options as well, they even have an option to trade in the old gpu if you have one. You can add a warranty to a used gpu as well unlike eBay when purchasing.

[@SuperiorGamer-vf9nq]

This video really helpd my trsut to buy something from ebay and being a aware buyer. ty

[@kevinchristian3984]

I have a question. But first, a backstory for some context. I actually just purchased a used Zotac 3060ti LHR version for cheap from an online marketplace (It's still being shipped as of now), and it reeks of a mined-on GPU. But of course the seller denied it, and stated he only used it in his personal gaming PC. (How did I know it was in a mining rig? As soon as I purchased the GPU instead of the listing saying "sold out" he updated the inventory with 1 more, exact same GPU model) So I was kind of scammed. What gave me some optimism is that he only bought it in March this year, and it is still covered with local, transferrable warranty until 2024 (warranty seals covering the backplate screws are still intact, so he couldn't have tampered or modified the thermal paste/pads). My question is; assuming the previous owner mined with this card for 6 months (from march until the ETH merge in September) with stock settings, how do you figure the card's condition would be regarding its general health, fans, and thermal paste/pads? Would reapplying the thermal paste and changing the pads worth the risk of voiding the warranty? (warranty policy in my country is pretty strict about not tampering with the seal). I'm waiting nervously for the card to arrive so some feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance, and have a great day! Greetings from Indonesia

[@ceasarcruz8312]

I'd leave it alone and hope it dies when still on warranty 🤣🤣🤣

[@ACMHK11]

Worst scare scenario, it dies right outside warranty. Best case scenario, it last 7 years. (Best case scenario based upon my still working 980Ti’s.lol)

[@kevinchristian3984]

@@ACMHK11 Well I’ve been using the card for 4 months now and while the board and the chip has no issue whatsoever, one of the fan started making a really loud scratchy noise when spinning at around 2100~RPM. Thinking about sending it for RMA or just buy myself an aftermarket fan

[@fentanylgames]

Unless he left it mining 24/7 with 10 layers of dust it should have around the same performance of a brand new

I've met to buy from people who were opening carrying pistols. But, then again I open carry also lol I love Texas. We end up talking about guns and rigs most of the time =)

[@X_irtz]

Damn, you really made it seem like a pretty complicated process. Honestly, just look at the reviews, check if the title and description is correct and record your unboxing.

[@PoofyisDead]

i’m finding that local sales via marketplace are significantly cheaper here, but most are uncomfortable meeting in a place where i can test the system, any tips? (opinions on them sending a video of the card functioning?)

[@michaelthompson9798]

As an Australian 🇦🇺 eBay user (sold 350+ items and overall rating 1000+🥰💪😇) I note my pc parts as “not mined on” and / or “undervolted” as well. I’m a gamer and non miner 😡! Even thou this video has vg information to follow ……. I feel that commenting to “never” trust a seller making those comments ……. Is unfair as the vast majority of users are legit, despite there being a number unscrupulous and dodgy dealers as well. I’ve also been burned on a $20 AUD item and buyer protection did NOT protect me and the seller didn’t have to deliver another item or refund me (eBay supported this) despite a delivery photo NOT showing my homes doorstep being delivered to 👎😡!

[@TechLens]

Hey dude! Honestly, people like you are hard to find in my experience and my default is to not trust someone who I don't know. A conversation with the seller should bring some shadiness to light, if you know the questions I mentioned and can see red flags. But my recommendation to all is to play it safe and default to not trust someone on ebay, as they are fundamentally a stakeholder with different interests. hope you're doing well man!

[@fynnplayz6501]

What's your store?

[@x4v]

Don't feel offended, it's good practice never to trust ANYONE who is trying to sell you something, as they have their best interests in mind, not yours.

Name of your store?

this is why I wouldn't buy used ones. the risk does not worth the hassle. buying used GPU is just gamble with a lot to put in the table.

[@krystofon]

you know, they way you describe how to trust people tryin to sell their shit, you could just drop the last 4 words of the title of video..

[@DudeMcFly-v6r]

Kinda ironic when you say "trying to sell their shit". Recently, it took three attempts for me to buy a new mobile phone online. The first two were scams, but I got my money back on both occasions. If I were not diligent, and instead chose your logic which is to trust randoms with hundreds of dollars then I would have paid 3 times as much as the phone is worth. Probably the most annoying part is waiting weeks for money to be refunded, or items not as described to be posted back. These days scammers are everywhere, and so logically, the trust is going to be in short supply. I do wish it was not this way though.
