Hello, since mining seems to be the new trend i was looking around for some "budget" gpus to give it a try on my own. I found a a guy that has a Nvidia Tesla M2090 still in its box and he is giving it away for around 30 usd. Is that a good deal ? Should i go for it or search for something else? i have absolutely no clue about these kind of cards. Thank you!

First question to the seller is it a passive or actively cooled card?

That is an 10 year old card -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_Tesla#Specifications And it is slower than a 1050ti according to this website -- http://gpuboss.com/graphics-card/-9223372036822975432

It is a doorstop. PASS, IMO.
