I bought a 960 off ebay. Sometimes video output does not work. Win some, lose some

Miner ran it 24/7 like a hair dryer forever

It's like buying a used car. You gotta find that granny that sells hers and you'll have yourself a great deal.

 

[Jeff Brookes]

If you have a seller like me, and it doesn't work when you get it I will refund you your money and pay for shipping back to me. Then again I don't sell GPU that don't work. I have a second 1070 sc2 going up for sale end of this week

Well it could get power but just have a black screen

 

[Adrian Chase]

got a 980ti for 380$aud right as mining became a thing (july 2017) and my friend got one just last week and minimum it goes for now is 500$aud

 

[David Quiring]

Pros: Low price. Cons: decreased lifespan.

 

[Julio Meneses]

Depends in the mileage.... If it was used for mining, it has been on, 24/7 , if its been used for gaming, assume that it has been overclocked...

I've purchased used cards on ebay and craigslist for years. Great way to get some value. Just make sure you have a way to check them before paying for them.
