How are you getting an easy £200-£300? CEX price + £200 for a 3070 FE is £867, average selling price on eBay is around £950, an expected £86 profit would barely be worth the time to sell it. If it was a 3080 FE CEX price + £200 then sure I'd take that deal. The question is why would you want to do it though, you'd be taking the same small chance of getting scammed as you would selling on eBay but for less money.
They usually have selling promotions every couple of weeks so the fees are negligible if you have a bit of patience, e.g. £2 fee for a £950 GPU would be 0.21%.
Feels like we are going in circles. I already explained my position. I was not the one who came up with the £200-£300 figure, that was the other confused fella. In case you don’t remember, here is the post: https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/posts/35338728/
Fair enough, but it still doesn't explain why you would want to take the same risks as eBay for less money.
I don’t recall saying I would be selling it to CEX at current price.
I have bolded the relevant parts for you above.Well I sold my 3080 FE for £1615 to them as I recall. Not many were lining up elsewhere to offer more. Last I checked a few weeks ago they were offering £8xx cash for me 3070 FE, but seems now that is voucher price. I tell you what, when the time comes want me to email you and you buy it off me for whatever CEX is offering cash + £200? You stand to make an easy £200-£300 then no?
Each to their own. My offer is open to you also. Easy money! Interested?
I disagree. In my experience selling here well over a decade it is less risky. I mean for starters no one will reverse the transaction like eBay does. The card is under warranty so at most the person buying would get is an rma replacement.
This is getting confusing now. Lol
If you're after a plug and play gaming experience then console is for you.. although can't say being able to a play massive range of games and having the ability to customise the experience has even been an 'issue' for me, quite the opposite
Totally fair, just don't have the time or patience personally.
I agree, no point going for a mid end card anymore that's weaker than the consoles (and costs more) and you have to deal with all these issues. What bothers me the most is almost every single Unreal Engine game on PC has the streaming/loading asset stutter, meanwhile if I play the same game on the PS5 there is no stutter at all... the worst part is so many games use this engine now.
