Miners torture GPU's, leaving them 24/7 working very hard.

If a miner is selling a card is probably because:

a ) It's no longer profitable for him/her, so he sells his stuff to recover some money.

b ) The GPU's will die soon, they sell them before they die completely so they can get some money at least.

If it's really cheap and is advertised as working, I'd go for it.

Since GPUs aren't known for their reliability, I'd pass on miners.
