Is there any chance this is as good as it seems?

Found this while scrolling eBay trying to find a house that was both affordable and functional for a friend's birthday gift pc.

Came across this seemingly brilliant gem. From the item description it seems to be almost like a person/company selling off old stock or something, and it's coming from a specific place in the UK which Chinese sellers wouldn't normally use. However, they only accept PayPal transactions and something just feels... Off about it. Anyone care to give advice as to whether there's any chance this is worth the shot for the price?

  1. Seller has a history of selling cheap used clothing.
  2. States in the ad: "Never used really, I've put it aside from my PC as been given 1080 card."
  3. Lists more than 50 available for sale.

You tell me.
