Should I shop for a Used CPU on Ebay?

Seems Sketchy and I can't see any cheap ones with a return policy

Halp

What is the best place to shop for used parts?

Craigslist is good if you require them to fire up a system with the CPU in it to make sure it works.

craigslist sounds even more sketchy

It's not, because you can go to a location and make them show that the CPU works.

Always go new with a CPU.

Why the focus on used parts?
Yeah, they may be 'cheaper'. But is the risk of total fail worth it?

i dont wanna get murdered, especially with a person who is selling their fx-6300 in "Culver City"

A used fx6300 isn't worth it anyways.

its worth it if its $50 ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Update:
How did you do that with the power supply gif????

No, $50 is not worth it, unless you already have the entire system except for the CPU.
