Can't see why this would be so cheap (1080Ti for ~$120)
The seller is registered as a business seller, the item is under the standard eBay 14 day money back guarantee. Would you trust this listing?
Ridiculously cheap GPU on eBay

Just wondering if there's any non-scam reason for it to be this cheap. Is it stolen? Any other way someone could profit from a sale like this, assuming the card works and is unopened like the listing says?

Do you believe in unicorns?

im drunk and i dont care. lets see what happens
>4 sold in the last 30min
>2 of those to 0/1 feedback users
i feel like i know where this is going
Camden Parker
just buy it and claim scam on ebay if they fuck you
you literally have nothing to lose unless they know what they're doing.
Isaiah Long
wahat
Hudson Nguyen
No but I believe in thieves. & I would be okay with buying from one b/c fuck nvidia.
O shit, it's on. I'm more persuaded to buy now.
Has that ever happened to you? Any advice about the scam protection claim experience?
Christopher Brooks
I know, right? Surely these must be purloined from a warehouse? Their feedback page lists plenty of seller feedback but only one buyer feedback. How dodgy should I think that is?
Joseph King
ebay confirmed order. paypal has not. expecting to receive an email soon saying sorry scam blah blah we didnt take your money
James Martin
Thanks for being the guinea pig. I hope you get your 1080Ti
Luke Diaz
Enjoy losing 100$.
Angel Baker
don't do it. same thing happened to me with a ridiculously cheap Nikon lens that was like 1/10th its regular price. I bit that bullet and in the end the seller claimed his account had been hacked and he had nothing to do with the listing, and that the funds had already been taken from his PayPal account, so in the end I had to escalate the issue and only got my money back a couple months after my original payment.
I know it is tempting and you might think you have nothing to lose, but there's no such thing as a free meal in this world. up to you, but before you hit the buy button notice none of those cards have real photos in their listings. that's usually a big no-no for me. good luck!
Oliver Morgan
paypal says nigga hasnt accepted money. doubt ill be getting it
Joshua Gomez
Heh, thanks for the listing OP. Just snagged a 1080ti for $120
Lucas Sanders
It's a scam, you fucking retard. They're listed via hijacked accounts to make the listing look more legitimate. More are listed several times a day, all using stolen accounts with decent feedback. Enjoy waiting to get your money back.
Andrew Gomez
Any recent auctions in uk? We had big ncix closure auction recently here in Canada
Christian Scott
Thanks for the advice. I live pretty close to the selling address and it's a small town that I wouldn't imagine is a hotbed for electronics trading, I'd be happier buying from a retail outlet.
What happens in this case then? Paypal just gives you your money back?
I mean, it certainly looks like one. I wonder how often stolen items of this kind are shifted on eBay.
Maplin just went into administration here so I'll be keeping an eye out for clearance sales in the near future.
Dylan Baker
>What happens in this case then? Paypal just gives you your money back?
yeah. happened last time someone posted something like this on here
Brandon Powell
Seems like there's nothing to lose. Still, I'm heading to a LAN next month and I tend to find better deals at those than on eBay these days, especially used mining cards.
Joshua Ortiz
Oh look, another listing from a different 1k+ feedback account, in the exact same style. These get listed over and over, every day. Ebay purges the auctions eventually.
Anthony Butler
Ok, but what is the point of those? What ARE those?
Are those GPU stolen? How would this scan even work, when paypal is so much in favor of the buyer and all you have to do to get your money back is say "didn't receive lol" and vait a few weeks?
I don't even comprehend what this is...
Christopher Perez
>scamming 101
>to make the looser ignore the red flags just put out some bait and let them convince themselves
Christopher Watson
Before buying, ask the seller a question about their hometown they listed on their profile. Scammers are shit at coming up with good sounding answers to these, especially if you're from the same country as the seller town and they're not.
Michael Turner
Did paypal reject the purchase ?
Michael Taylor
not yet, but they havent accepted it yet either
Joseph Walker
I emailed the seller address with some questions, expecting to be ignored. Will post any replies here.
Nicholas Butler
Jesus. There are no graphics cards, dumbdumb. That's why the auctions are always just stock images. There's no stolen merchandise. It doesn't exist. As for the nature of the scam, Paypal refund you directly and then try to recover the money from the other party's bank account. Of course, the scammer will have emptied it and be long gone by the time the thickos who buy these auctions make their refund claim.
They get paid, they get encouraged to keep doing it and Ebay/Paypal bear the cost. They should honestly start banning anybody stupid enough to fall for such obviously fake listings.
Justin Jones
>are they stolen
They don't exist.
Ayden Thompson
GUYS LOOK ANOTHER ONE AND ANOTHER SELLER ACCOUNT THAT HAS 1K FEEDBACK SO YOU KNOW IT'S LEGIT BUY NOW!!!
ebay.co.uk
Aaron Rivera
At worst you get a free GPU after paypal refunds.
Bentley Gomez
>I mean, it certainly looks like one. I wonder how often stolen items of this kind are shifted on eBay.
it's common for electronics in high demand bought with stolen credit cards to be sold there, since they can't really be traced.

"if something is too good to be true, it usually isn't"
>cards are way too cheap
>for some reason someone in Forfar, Angus is selling "more than 10" brand new top of the line cards
>free shipping from this hobbit town
if people on Sup Forums can't spot this obvious scam they deserve to have their money stolen, you have to be 12 or as intelligent as a 12 year old to fall for this even for a minute
Matthew Perry
I figured paypal just retained payment for a couple of weeks or until the buyer gives positive feedback.
Josiah Bennett
Thanks just bought 100k
Logan James
Sup Forumsedditors aren't the brightest
Jonathan Rodriguez
OH MAN I'M GONNA HAVE SO MANY GRAPHICS CARDS!!
Aiden Ortiz
You found the ebay holy grail user. That's how everyone gets their mining rigs. Go ahead and buy up all those listings with stock photos from newegg and amazon. Don't worry that half of them get pulled within 5 minutes of going up. That's just how fast they get bought up!
Connor Russell
I mean who wouldn't scoop up great deals like that?
Go for it!
Justin Ortiz
well, 1.5hours later. a lot slower than last time
Lucas Nguyen
Update: Listing removed. Instead of spending $1000 on a GPU, do your spline reticulations with pen, paper and adderall instead.
Benjamin Smith
He's lying. He just wants all GPUs for himself.
Jose Gomez
Nobody does scams that are THAT obvious.
You're clearly dealing with a rich good samaritan that just wants to help poor gaymers.
Owen Stewart
It was probably just a typo and he meant to put it up for 1140 instead of 114
