Buying GPUs of EBay

[arhaan.haridas]

Hey everyone. I’m not very good with computers but I have been trying to build one for work and gaming. I decided to go for the 1440p 144hz monitor, listed here
https://flash.newegg.com/Product/0JC-0004-00551?icid=WP_12_09082018

And a gtx 1080. I can’t seem to find one for a good price on newegg or amazon for under 500Usd. But I found some on eBay.

Could anyone please help me decide which one or to not choose any at all? Any help would be greatly appreciated

AS long as you buy from a seller that offers returns, has a 100% (or near) feedback, and lots of sales under their belt, you are probably fine. I've been buying and selling on ebay for years. It's all about studying the seller.

But why pay those prices? Aren't they about the same as Newegg and Amazon?
Are you in Australia?
