HELP PLZ - RTX 3060 for £150 wtf?

[JGStonedRaider]

I've been offered an rtx3060 for £150 which is a deal too good to be true by a friend of a friend that wants to meet tomorrow.

All I can imagine is that it's either a dud or stolen goods.

If it's a dud and he won't give/doesn't have the proof or purchase details etc do you still think Asus will repair it for a charge?

I have no bloody clue what to think about this apart from hmmmm I can taste the scam

3.5hr train journey to get it. No chance of testing confirmation etc

Tis a real head scratcher but it does look like the right thing in all the pictures

 

[JGStonedRaider]

I am extremely suspect about it.

My thinking is go meet them tomorrow, give the card a very good look over and go from there.

edit...info is used like new

If u have it in your hands sniff it.
If u can smell burns, stay away , if its shorted And burned then can be damaged beyond repair Thus useless to a point.

I think I'll do exactly this m8 thanks. I have a good price on a 1060 6GB to buy if this is in any way suspect when I get there.

Haha nah just had a long day in hospital today and a terrible day yesterday.

Didn't go for the GPU and decided to go for a GTX1060 6GB off FB marketplace instead...but that guys taken the money and stopped responding. So rather than worry too much I got my backup GTX680 out of storage...fired it up and the fan stopped working.

Oh and I've sold my 4770k rig and sending it out tomorrow...but the upgraded rig I bought off FB marketplace also hasn't turned up yet and it's a KF processor (if it does finally ******* turn up).

All in all **** everything

You sent someone money for something off Facebook marketplace?

You need help.

Sometimes I wonder why scammers bother, surely it's so blindingly obvious what they're up to, no-one could possible fall for it. Here we are

You need help understanding how FB marketplace works?

Gets better...

My new CPU+ Mobo was delivered yesterday

aaaaand stolen from my porch before I'd even gotten home as the seller didn't even cover the box up.

Spent all day in the hospital yesterday (long term illness treatment) and now I've gotta send out my PC bundle today in between puking up blood meaning I'm without a PC, scammed out of GPU, had new PC stolen, been made redundant again and all of that is in the last week.

I'm ******* broken right now

 

[JGStonedRaider]

Thanks all, even just having a type about it helps.

@Unseul that's a kind offer, if I do need to I will.

 

[JGStonedRaider]

I mean...who dafug sends PC parts just in their box and not at least wrapped in a plastic bag or something.

Seller is almost as much to blame.

I'd had only great experiences up until this week on FB MK but ye, small limits only now for me.
