So I bought three GTX 970s for £105... . . . .

So I saw someone else posting about an Ebay listing about a GTX 970 for £35 and there was an ebay money back guarantee, so I bought THREE of them..

So I know it's more than likely a scam but there wasn't much to lose and I thought it would be interesting to see what would arrive? Has anybody else supposedly bought this 'legit' GTX 970?

What's funny is that 82 other people have also bought one :)

I will keep this post going and tell you guys what arrives.

Usually these things end up being really old cards.  Sometimes with a new cooler frankenstein'd onto them.  There was a post last year on the forum about an Ebay seller basically selling old 8800GT's on shitty PCB's, in new boxes (for stuff like 770's and 780's)

Umm... Guys?

Look at the seller of the 970 and that 780Ti...

Basic guide to CPU's!

If I said I were 14, you would call me a kid. If I say 70, you’ll entitle me too old. If I say 20 you say I’m inexperienced and if I say 40 than I'm too boring.

Please let us know how it went. +1 for trying, you've got some serious guts dude.

What is there to lose? Assuming they are fake Ebay/the seller will have to refund me for them.

Actually quite interested in how this is going to end. Keep us posted!

Oh, and try it out in a rig that isn't your main one. I believe these things might catch fire :P

You could just buy one and it would be easy enough to get a refund if it's fake.

Time to back the fuck out.

Nvidia is to Dr Dre Beets as AMD is to KFC.

One makes you broke, the other you can get more of and have a midnight snack from the fridge when hungry again. Once you go Nvidia, you go broked, turn into an Elitist, or get the incorrect amount of VRAM.

 I was only 9 years old. I loved Fifflaren so much, I had all the NiP merchandise and matches pirated. I prayed to Fifflaren every night before bed. Thanking him for the life I have been given. Fifflaren is love I say. Fifflaren is life. My dad hears and calls me a fuckhead. I knew he was just jelly of my passion for Fifflaren. I called him a Sw@yer. He hits me and sends me to go to sleep. I'm crying now, and my face hurts. I lay in bed and it's really cold. A warmth is moving towards me. I feel someone touching me. I feel someone touching me. It's Fifflaren. I am so happy. He whispers in my ear; "this is my pyjama". He grabs me with his powerful Swedish hands and puts me on my hands and knees. I'm ready. I spread my ass cheeks for Fifflaren. He penetrates my butt-hole. It hurts so much but I do it for Fifflaren. I can feel my butt tearing as my eyes start to water. I push against his force. I want to please Fifflaren. He roars a viking roar as he fills my butt with his love. My dad walks in. Fifflaren looks straight into his eyes and says; "He is a ninja now". Fifflaren is love, Fifflaren is life

I'm still worried, he has sold so many on his profile ( he has 780 ti's too )

 Just because you don't care, doesn't mean other others don't. Don't be a self-centered asshole. -Thank You a PSA from the people who do not say random shit on the internet.

I'm wondering why he would be selling,

I sent him a message.

 

35 UK£ =
331.673449 Chinese yuan
 
Maybe he mixed yuan and £ ?
