Great idea, I'll keep that in mind.
Unless I can make the 1000 post threshold before the 5090 comes out...

My bro sold his to a company called gpused who gave him a decent price. Better than cex if I remember correctly.

eBay is hit and miss, if you do use it wait for an 80% of fees which comes round relatively regularly
There are other forums that have members markets too, I use AVforums a fair bit which always works out well

I've always used OcUK MM, Facebook or Ebay. OcUK definately the easiest and most hassle free but OP doesn't access unfortunately. Facebook is alright but if your sensible, lots of people trying to scam you and others offering you £5 and they can collect now 
regardless of what your asking price is. Ebay I've personally not had any issues with and always found you get the most money but you run the risk of the buyer screwing you over and Ebay always sides with the buyer apparently.

I was actually talking about Faceboot.
I sold one on https://www.gpused.co.uk/ last year, they made a point of beating the CEX price but after shipping I think I was up about 15 quid vs selling to CEX

Never heard of that one, I saw on a Linus video and American type of that site and wondered if there was something similar, now I know

Was it Kajiji? They've used it on their Scrapyard Wars series quite a bit... It's basically Canadian Gumtree

agree mate, CEX can be hit or miss. My one are very anal, I keep everything of mine mint, and the times I get A grade is few and far between! It does annoy me sometimes!
The littlest of creeses on a box that might require a magnifying glass they'll ave ya! I've noticed the attitudes are appalling on occasions, it's almost like they are doing you the favour!

I sold a 6700xt to my local CEX that I bought from you which was in great condition and the chap did not care for how it was boxed whatso ever!
Yeah same, my local CEX that I used to trade my 3080 in during the height of covid didn't care for the box condition or that, just tested it booted and that was it.

I think milage may vary with certain stores and staff, only now and again I've used CeX but try to steer clear unless I want something straight away and without sometimes fuss.
A 3070ti would probably be ok on ebay, although it can be rife with scammers. I wouldn't sell a really high priced gpu (or anything high priced really) on there though. Technology is probably the thing most prone to getting fleeced by buyers on ebay.
Safest would obviously be a private sale through an established forum (like members market on here) with bank transfer used as payment.

My experience is that scammers will have literally anything there, even something for £5, because the buyer protection is so biased and no action is taken even after months of blatant abuse.
