"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solid deal, but you know as well as I do that it's gonna come with some sort of risk, whether it's a worn-out fan or a outdated model.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."

"Yea, I'd say it's worth a shot, 800's a pretty good price for a used GPU these days. Just make sure it's a reputable seller and check the reviews before buying, don't wanna get ripped off"

"Man, an 800 buck GPU deal is pretty attractive, but I'd def wanna know the specs and the seller's rep on this forum before pulling the trigger. How old is the card and has it been well-maintained?"

"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."
