[monkey1346]

He guys this is my first post in the forums so Pls excuse any errors i make...

 

I would like to get the opinion of some smarter people in a used pc a person on Reddit is selling me...  

 

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/BVgQKZ

 

These are the parts and he is selling the pc to me for 600 dollars which is seeming to good to be true..... 

 

He is telling me to pay through PayPal so it's secure and that he will provide the tracking number for the shipment in 1 hour of payment... 

 

I am scared whether to go through with this deal or not because I am scared that i will get scammed or something wrong will happen 

 

So members of the ltt forums Pls guide and help me and tell me a way I can make this deal as safe as possible and whether the pc is good in the first place 

 

 

Thank You!

for $600 is a steal

Paypal has protection, if they don't deliver take legal action, paypal will back you up as well.

If half of the shit is there it's worthwhile. I'd suggest video when opening the package, just in case, but hell yeah, and if you don't want it, send me a link, I'll pay postage to down under.

Could have been used for mining.

@monkey1346 It is quite a good deal but it is mainly oriented for those who use CPU-intensive tasks such as Photoshop, video editing and rendering as well as content creating. If you're just interested in gaming, $600 could build you a brand new and more powerful PC.

It does seem a little too good to be true at that price, closer to 1k is around the value of it. But as above mentioned, PayPal offers free protection for purchases.

on a 970? considering how poorly that card performed? it wasn't worth the electricity.

I was speculating.

Seems good! just keep notes of all interactions between you and the seller. Paypal will always side with the buyer for their protection and will give you your money back if the seller fails to deliver.

Just make sure you choose the "Pay for Goods or Services" option when sending the money via PayPal.  That's the one that comes with the purchase protection - the other option does not.  I've had people in the past who don't realize what the difference is.
