Do people buy used PSUs?

I have

 

SuperFlower Golden Green 550W 80+ Gold PSU

 

It is working great, it is silent and has enough wattage for my PC. However, the cables are a hard to manage clusterfuck, ugly and some just barely reach from behind the motherboard (ATX 4+4-pin for example).

 

I would like to pick the EVGA G3 for the sole reason of better looks and cable management.

However, it is hard to justify spending that much for such reason and it all comes down to how much I could possibly sell my PSU for.

 

EVGA G3 (new with 10-year warranty)

550W - 90€

650W - 100€

 

My system now:

I traded an SF600 for a used RM850x, which has been running my X99 system in my signature for the past months with no issues

I've also sold a few used PSUs on r/hardwareswap, so yes.

For me, r/hardwareswap or ebay is not an option. The shipping costs would be quite high so I would be selling locally, people from here don't really visit reddit.

I bought a used SeaSonic SSP-450RT via Amazon for 18 dollars with free shipping (Not Prime either). We'll see how long it lasts, but it's SeaSonic so I'm not worried. 

 

Edit: It'll be running 24/7 as well for a BOINC rig.

as long as it's from a reputable user and or seller with a reputable brand you should be fine.
