First off I'm not sure if I can link to the item because of the forum rules... Would be a shame if not because it is worth a giggle. This chap has a 4870 x2 that is seemingly faulty for sale on bids. He claims to be clueless about graphics cards and does not know what is wrong with this one... It bluescreens after he installs the drivers from the disk provided (lol?). This peaked my interest, first thought being his PSU might not be up to it... Yet his 3 latest feedback points as a seller are relativly high end GPUs lol.

Moral of the story, if someone on eBay says "I'm not sure whats wrong with this, you may be able to get it working..." the item is almost 101% certainly fooked.

How would a clueless gimp come to own a 4870 x2 :D

er.. and to make this post relevant:

Yer Ebay sux0rs!

(but seriously, I've generally had a good experience with Ebay, but come pretty close to some arguements both as a buyer and seller before - I'm a lot more cautious with it now.)

Thanks, I stand corrected. I sell LOADS of stuff on eBay both through work (£10k ish per month, I don't see any of that :( ) and personally and have bought and sold lots of stuff with minimal fuss. eBay is great if you have your wits about you for sure, I have had a lot of bargains.

Recently bought a HP nc6220 laptop with freezing issues (seen this loads through work), had it fixed and sold in less than 2 hours from recieving and made a cool £120 profit. You get to know how genuine people word things...

People like him make me angry. Wonder if he's an OCUK member? :p

The question is whether he genuinely knows if the card is broken. If he does, then he's being disingenuous by pretending it might work (like selling someone a ticket to a lottery that will never pay out).

He's sold a 9800 GTX+, a 4870 x2 (a Sapphire too... Wonder if he fried this one trying to OC his Crossfire setup :eek:) and a standard 4870 1GB in the last 3 months... The wording is SCAM, SCAM, SCAM lol
