Graphics Card Trading

[HunchoGang]

Ok so here is what is going on. About 2 weeks ago I posted my Gigabyte Gtx 1650 low profile with 4gb of gddr6 for sale on offerup and just recently I recieved a trade. The guy offered his Gigabyte Gtx 1060 with 6gb of GDDR5 saying it was used for about 1 week while mine was used for 1 week as well. Should I accept the deal? I am also adding more items to make the deal worth it for I believe his card is more expensive than mine.

 

Any questions asked about the trade will be answered to better help you make a decision.

Highly unlikely that the 1060 is only 1 week old, maybe the seller bought it used and only used it themselves for a week. But that card could be 4+ years old at this point. 

 

Your card is newer gen, and you will not have that much performance uplift, like 10FPS from what I can see. I would only do a straight across trade at most.

Not worth it for what @TheDailyProcrastinatorsaid above. Adding to that. You know your GPU is good. Want to take the risk on getting a bad one?

It came in brand new packaging and he showed me a receipt as well. Everything he stated is accurate and it is indeed only a week old.

Yeah it is good, but I would like to get some higher quality. 4gb vram compared to 6gb of vram is quite a large difference.

I mean use your own judgement I guess. Seems unlikely to me that it is brand new, but if that is indeed the case I would still only trade across plus like $30-50 at most.

 

Really up to you.

 

Your card is not the 1650 Super, correct?

I wouldn't put much of anything else into the trade.

I talked him down to just the card. Should I still accept or nah?

IF you have the receipt. IF it was from a week ago. IF he seems legit(I'm curious why he was so quick to take the trade change.). It's a personal call. 

To me, with him saying he got it a week ago and already wanting to trade it tells me something might be off. With how quick he went to a straight across trade I'd probably be asking to see the SN on the GPU to make sure it is a 1060.

Straight across would be the best deal here. Personally I still question the fact that it is only a week old, but if you feel that info is accurate then it would be a fair trade. Your judgement call here.

In all honesty, if it's me. I say something along the lines of "Can you send me a picture of the serial number? I want to look it up to see if you registered it for Warranty. If you did it gets a lot more difficult for me to RMA it if something goes wrong"

Grab the PN from the SN and you know if it's what he says it is
