As long as the seller is trustworthy, that's a good to great deal depending on what kind of dollars you're referring to.

Seems like a great deal if you dont mind used

PC is Intel Core i5 6400, GIgabyte H170 Gaming 3, Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x4GB 2400Mhz ,Sandisk Ultra Plus 128GB, WD Blue 1TB, NZXT S340, ASUS Geforce GTX 960. Fractal Design Tesla R2 650W. http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/793XNG. Graphics card choices don't always have to be dictated on performance. If you want the game stream and power consumption of the GTX 970 get that. If you want raw performance of the R9 390 get that. In the end we are all gamers, so what if your buddy gets an extra 5 fps?

I'll buy it if there's no problem with the card and still under factory warranty for a couple of months.

What does miningcards actually mean... apart from the fact that they're used for cryp/bitcoins

 

How does that affect the gpu?

indeed they're used for mining currency

 

it could potentially reduce the lifespan a bit because they're used almost 24/7 but many have been sold and used and they're fine so if the price is right go for it, or buy it and sell it with profit :P and then buy another one that hasn't been used for mining
