i have never had a bad second hand card, my 3080 and my boys 3070ti are both used cards and work super.
BUT i do understand where your coming from.

for me, your should go 6800 none XT... and buy a used YES used 5600 there is one in BGrade i made an offer of £100 and they did accept but i have already picked up a new one by the time they emailed me back

I have the chance at a 3080 founders for 525, seller has advised me the temps are fine following several tests on Furmark, MSI Kombuster and also Unigene Heaven runs which he has sent pics of the results scoring between 6982 and 7034. At that price for a founders i am really tempted.

for a 3080 thats a good price, i paid a little less but got it from a friend. i would have been happy upto £550. make sure he includes the 10/12pin power plug as they can cost £25 and the GPU would have come with it when new

Oh that is fair, in that case then you will still do pretty well with a 30 series gpu, some of the offerings have come down in price
 
i've never bought a b-grade gpu before...
...but from experience buying other b-grade products (cpus, mobos, ram, ssd, hdd, psus and cases) i've never had an issue with them.
a couple of cases had major external damage but ocuk accepted the return
