Just be careful and you will be fine. I buy and sell on eBay all the time.
However one thing to keep in mind is make sure the discount on what you are buying is worth the cost. The cost being that you are not buying from any sort of authorized seller, so you will not have a warranty.
Personally unless I'm saving well over $100 on a $700 GPU, I would reconsider buying from eBay.
yeah definetly, you know...i'm on a relatively tight budget and i have this "gtx1080 ti scratch that i need to... well scratch" so i have to consider making some sacrifices to reduce the costs a bit u know
quick question: do manifacturers warranties cover a second owner like ever?
I think XFX used to do a transferable warranty years ago, otherwise no, nobody does that anymore, ever.
Honestly GPUs and Hard drives are the two top things we get failures on here (with power supplies being a close third). Cut your budget a bit and buy a new 1080 or 1070. If you don't have a 1440p or 4k monitor a 1080ti is a waste anyway.
jeez that's pretty scary, but i read online that a lot of people do purchase used gpu's from ebay and they never had a problem... and if the item is "significantly not as described" then u have a money back guarantee either from paypal if u payed using paypal or ebay.
also i know it's crazy to get a 1080 ti when i own a 1080p 60hrz monitor, but that's just temporary...
The Paypal guarantee doesn't do anything when the GPU suddenly dies in a month and you don't have a manufacturer's warranty.
You're going to buy a 1080ti and a monitor for a 1080ti, but then suddenly decide to save $100 for the enormous risk of getting a second-hand one? It's like buying a Ferrari but then deciding you don't have the money to fix the brakes or pay for car insurance. It's your money and your risk, of course, but this is an overflowing helping of bad idea.
