i found a used 1060 6gb gtx msi gaming x plus for 370 on ebay heres the details
6 Months old bought on the 16\1\2018. Receipt is supplied
General use \ Game play 2 or 3 times a week so not heavily used.

As close as new condition as can be after 6 months

No Damage \ Faults \ Mods to this card

Never got around to registering the card with MSI webpage so you are able to register it under your name.

or i can buy a new msi gaming x 6gb for $427

so ill save like 50 dollers and its the plus model so few extra fps but dunno bout buying it used what should i do?

 
Solution
Buying used does come with the risk of the seller not being honest about their reasons for selling, maybe they know the card is damaged in some way.

However, my own experience is used cards that are quite new are usually perfectly fine, and you can get a good card for quite a lot less than new prices.

It's up to you if you want to take a chance. If the seller is honest, then it sounds like a good deal for a card that has had very little use.

No, I don't know much except it has faster memory and is something like 3-4% faster overall as a result.
