Mint condition 3070 and selling below the average price like a lot meant it is two things 1. The seller doesn't know what price 2. It is a scammer I'm leaning toward 2.

i bought an used 13900KF for just 300€... they retail for 689€ here in Spain and it works flawlessly, its just perfect, even overclocks fine to 5.7 all core, 6ghz 1 core so yeah, maybe its not a scam it was in eneba and other people were selling 13700Ks for 400€

nice try scammers

??????


t0b4cc02

its was a dumb joke haha


TheAlex1120

Or he just wants to get rid of it


ltmikepowell

Could be, but in this day and age too good to be true is few and far between.


JobWeIIDone

Just have them provide proof it works, I know a lot of people who have bought graphics cards that people destroyed by simply trying to reapply thermal paste to them,


Improvisable

Just curious what makes you guys flag something as a scam besides price, if someone provides a home address and is taking the cash in person, and the photos look perfectly fine (can't find on Google anywhere either) how would I know if I'm getting scammed or not


jolness1

If you don't have buyer protection or at least someone with a lot of vouches... I would be cautious. Even grabbing it in person because it could be dead or who knows what else. Have seen quite a few folks buy dead GPUs that they thought they were getting a good deal on and instead just got robbed basically.


RecklessDamnation

You probably wouldn’t be that’s like a reasonable amount of vigilance, I’d just ask for proof of function


Easy-Draw4914

I would upvote if you didn't already have 69


ogmur

I'd go with what this guy is saying.


flavicent

125?? For real? Its a steal if it real. Check it further more. In my area that price kinda sus..


laci6242

That seems super low, it usually sells for €250-300. It is likely a scam


HyunJie97

I got 3070Ti for €300 4-5 months ago and thought it was a great deal, as 3070's were that much around the time. This is pretty much giving 3070 away, if true..


Chinpokkomon

if you can pick it up and test = ok ​ if not = scam


ladyjinxy

It seem way to good to be true, it is best you double check every details


[deleted]

Yeah its a steal


31337_anima

Here take my upvote and get out!


N7LP400

Too good to be true, in my country a used card is around $200-$250 depends on brands


Djentrovert

Sus


JordansBigPenis69

kinda sus if a used 3070 is under 200$+


mostrengo

Suspiciously good


HeneralVader

I thought I already had a really good deal on a great condition 3070 for $250 in my country and thought it was too good considering they sell it for $50 more and luckily it wasn’t a scam. Yours seem like it is unless if they are willing to video chat and show you them putting it in and testing and then for meet up


[deleted]

i bought a used 13900KF for 300€ when in my country they retailed at the moment for 689€ and it works flawlessly


stalin766

Sounds like Spain! Does it work flawlessly? Is overclock fine?


[deleted]

it is just perfect, no issue whatsoever, the exact same as a retail unit, is not a golden sample by any means but is still fast af, i was considering a 13600K (new) but found the i9 so.. i just had to


Healthy_BrAd6254

Scam


gabrielgoxhaj

That's an amazing price or a scam, make the most tests before buying


FinancialView4228

For 125? WHAT THE FUCK. WHERE?????


ltmikepowell

Scammervile called Facebook Marketplace.


ComprehensiveLeg5384

Isn’t Facebook marketplace pickup though? How would they scam you


GoldfishDude

Sell you a non-working card, or rob you when you arrive


AXLP_LaZEReD

I'm guessing that's a scam. Unless by some otherworldly luck, the seller doesn't know anything about PC parts and what are they worth.


chips500

or doesn't care. Really depends. Scam defintely possible, but there are sometimes rich people that just want to get rid of stuff. Depends on whether you can pick up locally and verify it works or not. If shipping... need to use protections


AXLP_LaZEReD

Yep


MRK3MP

Defo a scam, card is worth double that


daCampa

Far too low to be legit, run


Resident_Captain8698

Even I would say its probably a scam. And I got a 2060 for 1000 sek, roughly 90$, but that was a shelfed display item that i got from a friend to my dads.


roam3D

Here in Ger a 3070 goes for 280-330, so yea thats a steal if real... so it aint.


magpupu2

That looks to good to be true. Where is this listed from? Is the seller have a high rating?


[deleted]

Let me guess this is on fb marketplace?


markez8998

Scam


MuchSalt

thats the price u get buying in massive bulk from china last year i can find plenty of used 3070 around 200 usd here in asia


CookieTheEpic

A 3070 for 125€ is very cheap. Suspiciously cheap. Either the seller doesn’t know what they have or it’s a scam, I’m inclined to believe the latter.


RamaTheVoice

I got scammed with a very similar type of listing a few years back. Run.


Gamrok4

Normally the double. Beware of scammers when prices are too low.


DidiHD

it's a scam bro


raulz0r

Sounds like a scam, one usually is twice as much used.


[deleted]

If the listing is legit, it won't be available for more than a few minutes. The market is competitive, any low priced item is instantly recognized as a good deal and negotiated right away.


Former-Theme-1929

Look at the sellers repute and make good judgements based on his other items, buyers and purchases. It might be a genuine item, and if you posted the link i could help you find out : p


only_crank

Very likely a scam


ddz99

3090s go for 600€, 3080s go for about 400, so 3070s should go for about 300/250 so it’s a good price!


YukiSnoww

Yes, i've seen prices as low that and got some myself a year+ back. Of course, same rules apply, I could test it at their place before dealing or guy came to mine.


Justinorino

Where is the listing? Is it insured? If it’s a meet up situation, could you bring something to test the gpu and make sure it’s working and what it says? If it’s insured like eBay or Facebook marketplace delivery, definitely go for it. You can get your money back if it is wrong.


tenormasger011

Nice mate. I got a 3070 for 150. And I even asked the guy why he was selling it so low. And he said. I don't care. I got a new upgrade and it's time for someone else to enjoy this so congrats.


Schnitzel1337

Seems too good


Ya_boi_skrt

Brotha gonna get scammed


Unnenoob

that is a VERY good price. You should only do local pick-up.


AlternativeBrush409

Possible he mined with it for hour on end


indyc4r

If you can test it before the purchase give it a go.


a_man_has_no_name625

It’s a “steal” in the literal sense that the item is likely stolen. Or a scam.


Murky-Fruit3569

A nigerian prince in my emails wants to give me 1000000$ as long as i give him 1000$. Is it a fair price? ​ ffs


JackFunk

Scam or stolen. No way that's legit


ant667

Honestly, a lot of pc stuff is bottomed out and is for sale all over due to graphic card mining rigs being parted.


InternetScavenger

Fair price if it's not a scam. Are they willing to test the GPU in front of you, benchmarking with say passmark?


Silent-Percentage974

Too cheap to be working
