Found a
ASUS ROG-STRIX-GTX1080TI-O11G-GAMING GeForce 11GB OC Edition. On amazon for just under 450 euro brand new.. im from ireland and to buy one of these would usually set me back 850+ euro... this seems a little to unreal to believe. But if its legit im gonna buy it on the spot. What do you guys think by the sound of it. Also this is from a first time 3rd party seller. I personally have never had experience with 3rd party sellers from amazon. But im not sure to trust this

Might not be a scam but instead a resale of already used GPU that may be somewhat broken (e.g one fan doesn't work etc).

Do note that if you buy that GPU, you won't get any warranty with it since Asus warranty isn't transferable. So, if anything happens to the GPU, you have no hopes for RMA and you have a nice paperweight. But if you'd buy brand new GPU from Asus or from it's licensed retailer, you'd get standard 3 years warranty with a GPU.

This is a pure scam. DON'T buy it. If it was legit the card would be priced higher, unless as pointed out it's not fully functional or perhaps has had the arse kicked out of it mining or something. Why would any seller sell an item for half of it's costs? Too good to be true dude. There's a reason people say that :)
