Someone nearby is selling a untested GTX 1070 for really cheap since they don't have a power supply to use it with they say when they plugged into the motherboard the fan spin the card lights up and it displays a please power down and plug in the pcie connector what's the chance of the card working?

Well, that seems like it's working. A working GPU will say on the monitor "Power down and plug in the PCiE connector", if the monitor is going on it's working. There's nothing we can say what will happen later tho. It needs to be under pressure (gaming) first to say if it's capable of everything.

But as for start, it seems to be working.

You can bring a good brand PSU and money with you, at least 550W or up, to that guy to test, before you buy it. If it works, buy it, nobody will know it works or not on paper.

It's obviously working. We can't look into the graphic card, don't know what was the graphic card through.

All we can say, that's it's booting the monitor on, that's a good call.

Ask him, if you can test it on your PC or if you can bring your PSU to him and connect it before purchase
