That is like a gt1030 price for me, so seems good. Is it new or used? 

If used then that is  little pricy, if new it is a good price.

I only see your reply if you @ me.

If it's brand new that's a great deal.

660 Ti? I doubt that'd be any better than a 1050.

Performance wise they are pretty much the same, however the 660 Ti will use twice as much electricity.

That's what I mean. Sure it'll be fine but I'd go for the 1050 since it's more efficient and it's only 15 euros more.

the title is what this is all about :P

Where do you live? I mean, in which country you are buying this gpu? In my  country market, which is Lithuania, that is a bad price, I can get the same one for 50 - 60 euros, max. Multiple offerings for that. My advice, if in your country this price is good, then buy it, you can test that fairly easily, just  check what is "craigslist" alternative in your country and you will find out the prices that these cards go for in your area..

That price is without shipping, yes? There were 3 cards for 60 euros on skelbiu.lt, but now there are none for that I see.. There are few for 85 also, which is better if you add shipping price to the evga you found on ebay. Could you wait few weeks or a month? I'm sure there will be good deals on skelbiu.lt.

It's fine buying on skelbiu.lt, you just have to thoroughly check the gpu. You can do what you like, the price is not terrible at the moment, but if it was me, I would save up a bit and hunt for 1050 ti on skelbiu.lt.  You can get one for like 110 - 120, I checked. Scratch that, you can get 1050 ti low profile for 85 euros.

Send money? I only buy on skelbiu.lt when I can meet with the seller, check the gpu, then pay him. Otherwise, yeah, it's gambling, especially with the current state of law in our country ?

Well, there is buses, I assume you don' t have a car. Or you can look for the cards only in your city, or maybe ask for some tech savvy friend or relative to pick it up for you if it is in different city. When you want a bargain you have to work for it a bit. Used gpu market in lithuania now is great, I got 1070 for dirt cheap myself.

PM me, it's not really a chat. Or you can wait for others to answer that.
