[SOLVED] New or used-very good from amazon

[FluffyFlounder]

So I’m thinking of upgrading to an rtx 2060 super and I really liked the msi gaming edition one, however it 40$ more than all the other ones. Then I saw a deal from the amazon warehouse. It is “used- very good original packaging may be damaged”. I’m wondering if I should go for it, because it’s 65$ cheaper which is crazy.

Brand new ones are much better but I would want to contact the seller to see if everything works with the used GPU because you do not want to get bad working one!

I have no problem buying used GPUs. Is it being fulfilled by amazon? Can you link it? I'd just make sure the seller if it is not amazon has a good return policy in case anything goes wrong.

It’s from the amazon warehouse.

The one for $374.62? I would have no problem buying that. It comes with a 30 day return policy, however no manufacturer warranty. I would run some stress tests on it and play some games that are GPU heavy while watching temps and clock speeds with HWInfo or similar, just to verify everything is in working order within the first 30 days.

Should anything go wrong I have always had very good luck with returns on amazon. That card is not known for any widespread issues, I would expect it to work fine used or not, that card has a pretty good cooler so even if it was used for mining or something it was likely kept cool and it's unlikely someone would use a 2060 super for mining, there are certainly better options for that task.

Thanks for your help, apparently amazon writes why the item is in the warehouse selling for “used” and the only reason for the gpu is a damaged box. That means that actual gpu could be brand new
