Biggest Scammer I ever saw.

This guy was trying to sell a Radeon HD 6870 for (Drumroll please)

 

150 USD

 

WHAT THE FUCK!

For that price, you can get a GPU that probably pounds its ass into 100's of pieces.

Plus, there was dust inside and out, and the card looked like it didn't even work!

I even went and asked him "Do you know that price is a bit high? People can get a new one for less, or even a better one?"

And responds with "Go buy a new one"

Really. This guy is a scammer with a capital S.

I had found out about this a while back, and had reported it to the app makers to have it taken down for "Scamming"

I thought it was handled.

I WAS WRONG, and someone had actually bought it. Someone didn't do their research

Not a scam, just someone who has a high price on his GPU.

If he were to sell a HD 6870 for 150 USD, while claiming it is an GTX 1070: that's a scam.

TIL overpricing something automatically makes it a scam.

 

Also, status update material.

'Fanboyism is stupid' - someone on this forum.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

I said it was a scam because the graphics card looked like it didn't even work, it had dust inside of the card and all around. I'll have to fix my article

I don't think you realise what the word "scam" actually means...

So 'dusty' = not working? Way to jump to conclusions.

 

It's a shitty thing to overprice something but this is not a scam.

I saw a "GTX 1090" for $300 USD on Craigslist.  And yes, it was listed as a "1090". 

Wow. Just wow.

Tell me about the 2 cm of dust all over the card, and inside of it, which looked like hell from the small bit I could see.

So? That doesn't mean it doesn't work.

 

It'd be a scam if it said 'NEW HD 6870'. But fortunately it doesn't.

I guess from the information you've given me, 'Used but working HD 6870'? Not a scam if it's true.
