Honorable
A journalist buys 10 or 20 used cards from some place(s) where they can be reasonably guaranteed that the cards are verified to work before being shipped, will honor return policy if not, all while using money that isn't out of their own personal savings account anyhow.
A single consumer buys 1 used card from some place that may or may not be trustworthy, using their own money which has been tightly budgeted just so they can get That One Card They've Been Waiting For.
now, what happens when the journalist gets 1 bum card? and what happens when the single consumer gets 1 bum card? and, what others said: the lifetime of the GPU will be degraded, perhaps significantly, even if it works on delivery. you cant inspect solid state components for heat damage.
so unless i know you, and know where you live, i'm not buying used CPUs/GPUs off the interwebs.
