Graphics cards from eBay

[shaw24]

Anyone ever get their cards used from eBay? It's tempting for the HUGE price decrease. I personally like my stuff new but you can get a 290 cheaper than a 280x!

Depends on the reliability of the seller and what they used it for. Right now a majority of gpu's on ebay are from mining rigs. Mining is comarable to chris brown when it comes to beating components up.

So tread carefully, ask questions, and do not expect one to have a normal lifespan of a gpu.

I picked up one of these for £100 on ebay:

That budget would get me a 750ti or a 260x if I bought new
