If you buy it from a seller on Craigslist go over and see the GPU run if you can

It's not too much stuggle but you have to be careful who you sell to, being second hand people have all sorts of complaints and will try blame you for anything

1. Be patient

2. Dont do a deal your not satisfied with

3. Do it locally

4. make a proof of it working vid before selling that is dated

5. dont expect more than 50% of current retail value

6. dont give it to them before you have the cash IN HAND

7. list 20% higher than what the lowest you would go so you have bargaining room

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

Be patient.

Be willing to lower your price.

Sell online first, if you're not able to sell on Amazon or Ebay, lower your price on craigslist.

When your item does sell and you have to ship it, wrap it in anti-static material, fill the box with packing peanuts and you're good to go.

post an add with your own pictures of the card and screenshot of GPUz if it has a good asic quality show that...if you have the box and accessories show them in your pictures as well...and a pic of the card installed in your system if possible...ask 20$ more than you would let go and drop that 20$ and then that's it...like if you want 250...ask 275 for the card. Dont give your full adress in the add or by email...you might want to give it over phone once you've spoke with the person but it's ideal to meet at some place unless he want to see the card running in your rig which is understandable.
