Empty box. I bet if you ask for pictures of the actual card, you'll either get no reply or stock photos.

There are stock photos. You'd be gambling the seller is an idiot. One of you would be, that's for sure .

It is a risk.

Somes people don't know the market. 

Some people sell cheap because it is less of a hassle.

 

I usually give my old cards to relatives that sell on ebay and they sell them cheap because they didn't pay for them.

As mentioned there isn't a picture of the card itself,and the seller doesn't have any feedback, seems suspicious even if the seller doesn't know the market for the item.

So the seller is smart enough to know what a 1080 Ti is, smart enough to look up the correct specs, smart enough to go to EVGA's specific product page, but too ignorant to know how much his product is worth?

 

Or they're trying to scam you

I think you're right. Here is a key piece of text "ORIGINAL BOX INCLUDED, WILL SHIP RIGHT AWAY!"
