Hey Guys

 

I've never bought anything on ebay and am currently trying to get a nice 2nd-hand GPU. Any tipps / tricks / strategies on how to bid would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thnx :)

Wait until last minute and pay attention to anyone bidding up until about 15 seconds with a ready to post bid then at about 10 seconds post it and pray for your luck :)

Type in an amount you're willing to pay and click on "Bid". Simple.

 

There is no trick, other than being willing to spend more then any opposition. You may be outbid by £1, or maybe £20. It depends on what you can spend, or are willing to.

Shot through the heart and you're to blame, 30fps and i'll pirate your game - Bon Jovi

Take me down to the console city where the games are blurry and the frames are thirty - Guns N' Roses

Arguing with religious people is like explaining to your mother that online games can't be paused...

If you're looking at it as Winning on E-Bay, you're doing it wrong.

 

Look at it as how do I sucker this guy to letting me buy it for as little as possible and you just might get it.

I roll with sigs off so I have no idea what you're advertising.

 

This is NOT the signature you are looking for.

Make sure your not spending anywhere near the same price as a new one. So have the new prices open in another tab  then in the last seconds when bids fly in you can see how much your saving also check proper stores for sales :)

Correction, used 5000/6000/7000 or 200 Series AMD cards ;)

One would hope 100% of them are not used for mining right.... can only hope.

 

 

Although I did just buy a 6970 recently with WF3 type cooling. It's a beast!

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz
