I've bought used items before many times... mostly on Craigslist... However, I've heard stories about being cautious with GPUs because some people overclock the heck out them and use them for "farming coins"... and when you OC, you shorten it's life considerably. Since the 970 came out not too long ago, I would be kind of scared to get a used one unless I picked it up from a retail that that offers some kind of warranty. You could ask if the card has ever been overclocked, I suppose.
