"just got offered a 3080 from a dude on Craigslist for $800, claimed it's been used for like 6 months and still has a year left on the warranty. It's a pretty sweet price, but I'm worried about the hassle of buying used and the possibility it's been modded or tampered with. Anyone else ever take a chance on a used GPU?"

"Dude, $800 for a used GPU is still a solid deal, but you know as well as I do that it's gonna come with some sort of risk, whether it's a worn-out fan or a outdated model. If you're comfortable with the potential downsides, I say go for it. Just make sure to inspect it thoroughly before buying."
"Dude, it's a used GPU for $800, which is already a pretty sweet deal. But yeah, there's risk involved - it could be a Lemon or have hidden issues. If the seller has good feedback and you can return it, I'd say go for it, but if not, I'd pass."
