Is Best Buy marketplace a scam?

[Big monke42069]

Hello everyone, I have been looking at best buy’s marketplace listing for a computer. For the prices they seem like good deals.  (Price is Canadian currency should have said that earlier)

Not a scam (you will get what it says on the listing), but definitely a fucking horrid value. The 750 Ti is an iGPU replacement-tier GPU, the i5 is probably some ivy bridge CPU as they don't state the actual processor name. This looks like a 2012-2013 office PC somebody stuck an RGB strip and SSD into. You could do that yourself for like $60-100 if you have access to craigslist/FB marketplace and amazon.

Ok just wanting to know thanks!

that's a $100 refurb lenovo with some RGB shoved in the front bezel...

 

also, it's got a GTX750Ti because of the proprietary power supply, that's something i can tell you without having to even dig up the specific model.

Thats MAYBE 150$ of computer and it wont play modern games at all.

750ti for $52 buy it now. $10 for the RGB strip.

Here's a 960 for the same price as a 750ti.

As with any of the marketplaces, it depends on the seller and what you're looking at buying.
Use common sense, and you really can't go wrong.
