Used Gpu's

I want to buy a r9 270x from ebay, which is $100, but it's used. I know it's risky to buy a used gpu, but I'd be saving about $100. Is it worth it? http://www.ebay.com/itm/AMD-Radeon-Gigabyte-Windforce-270X-GV-R927XOC-2GB-/181641496361?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a4aad4729

I am not sure what the consumer protection laws are with Ebay but maybe call them and find out?  Mention what it is you are looking at buying and discuss it with them.  Also look at the rating of the person selling the item helps too.  Still for me when I buy used I buy local and it has worked out for me well.  I deal with people I can trust and now with me looking at items that would cost much more than what I bought before I definitely would be asking to see them tested out before handing over money.

Who know.. you'll be buying a mysterious box man... maybe its good.. or maybe the previous owner had it oc on the limit.. it's a gamble :lol:

If you can return it, I say go for it. I've been using a used R9 270 for over 6 months with no issues. (I even have a second used one coming in the mail.)
