Hi, i'm considering buying a processor like the i5 4690k or i5 4670k (only because i found a good price) from Kijiji. I'll put a link for both items for you guys to review it. I'm concerned that these prices seem a bit too good to be true and that the 4690k is only in a plastic tray and not the box. The 4690k is priced at a crazy $200 Canadian ($160 USD) and the 4670k is priced at $250 Canadian($200 USD) . Both of them are apparently brand new. The same guy selling the 4690k is also selling an i7 4790k for only $300 Canadian. I just want some of your opinions on if you think these are legit and if I should buy it or not.

And he couldn't even take a picture of the actual processor in its "transparent intel plastic tray"?

These sites are all "Caveat emptor" - You may know where the guy lives, but redress might be a bitch. The Intel warranty is worthless if you do not have proof of purchase.

Thanks, so you're saying that I should ask the guy for a receipt and proof of purchase if I do decide to buy it from them. Also, do you think the 4670k is legit and worth it?
