Sold 5090 On eBay - Buyer says its faulty

Congrats OP!
But this could easily have gone far worse and most of us had probably expected the worst!
What next? Play it safe with that high-street used parts vendor but far less even if willing to take credit. Keep posting and eventually get MM access? While AV Forums isn't as good as the MM here, I'd probably still trust that over fleabay though? Or local facemarket but be extra fussy about who'll sell to?

Remember, if you do get messed around, this threads proven that there's a lot of geeks whiling to go happy slap another geek with a mechanical keyboard, and send them a stern email using Times New Roman, in italics!

I had to google that, you should have got an ultrawide bro
Hallelujah!
It's a good thing that you're not a betting man
I was really thinking that this would be a worst case scenario, so happy it turned out well!
As has been mentioned earlier in the thread, I doubt most local PC shops have to deal with something like a 5090 and might not have even had the correct hardware on hand to test the thing. Although that in turn makes you wonder why they're running that sort of shop at all, as if knowledgeable they'd have flat out admitted the fact to the buyer presumably unless they just wanted some easy cash for doing nothing.

That was dead on arrival. OMG. You couldn’t make it up.
Never mind. I’ll get it replaced.
Thanks for all your help everyone.
Win win!

Used up your luck on the card not being broke, I guess.
That's a positive way to think about it TBF!
Very true, my local PC shop was flummoxed by an ATI Rage Fury Maxx a million years ago. Small local PC repair shops never see high end kit and have zero idea.
