So, basically i found this rx 470 for $60 on okazii.ro (the romanian version of Ebay) and this guy sais that the card works perfectly until you put on a game after which after 1-2 minutes of gameplay it blue-screens

Do you think i can buy this card an fix it? Because it's definitely worth the money

its either the card is broken or it was a mining card with modded bios..if its a mining card you can fix it by flashing the bios.

 

but not for 60..i would risk it if it was 40 or lower..but its up to u

I'd find out what it was used for - as above. If it was a gaming card and just suddenly broke, I wouldn't touch it. It's likely it straight up died.

If it was for mining, a reflash could save it but there's always risks with that.

 

Overall, you might be able to save it but it's just not worth it.

It's an XFX card

No but that's what it may have been used for, with a modded BIOS

i mean i could take apart the GPU to see it the dye makes good contact with the cooler 

But i don't think that's why it blue-sreens

At the end of the day, it depends what $60 is to you. If it's pocket change, why not give it a shot? If it's a real hit to your coffers, not a good idea really.
