Asus GTX 1070 TI Cerberus
There are lots of "deals" to be had in the garage section. However, no one can tell you if the deals are financially sound, considering risks of used hardware.
Always do this:
1. Is the part suitable for your needs? Specs and compatibility
2. Is the part affordable?
3. Is the deal a smooth one or nasty nego?
#1: Can discuss here on what you need.
#2: Decide if affordable... I do have my own matrix to help me guess whether the items are worth to get, but this is based on my own value perception, without solid references or proof.
In that sense, I would check for authencity (proof of purchase, online warranty check, etc) and card condition (card use in gaming or mining, settings used, duration of use, overclock or not, pics of part itself as well as pic of the part IN THE RIG if possible).
Then I would use the matrix to make a guess on probable value, then compare with seller's asking price.
Eg... for ASUS Cerberus 1070Ti, you check local stores for new prices maybe RM 2300-2500, then used for gaming only, and used about 8-9 months, then around 85% of the value, I would value it around RM1950-2100. But I would also check for other models, eg Galax 1070Ti can be had for around RM 1999 new as well... So consider against that...
Then if looks like it will serve the purpose for the next 3 years+, then check wallet if can manage the burn... if YES, then proceed to nego with seller
#3: In seller nego, check if they are friendly, and likely to assist in warranty claim should the shop be somewhere far from you. Ask about packaging and courier choices, and if all seems well, it would be easier to manage from there on.
For new items, we would suggest parts that are compatible and reasonably reliable. But we certainly cant assume the same for used part. So decide wisely! It is still your money
