Got an email from eBay for this and I was confused because $10 for a LGA 1151 motherboard so In wondering if it's too good to be true because I'm looking for a new mobo but I have a FX 6300 that I'm willing to sell it

Seems like a hacked/compromised account to be honest.

They haven't sold anything for over a year according to feedback recieved, then randomly have 100+ of those to sell? nah.

 

Way to tell is to see if as the amount sold goes up, if the number remaining stays around the same. It's cause they update the quantity so it's always "only x left" which will make people want to buy it even more incase they miss the "good deal".

 

There's even free shipping to the UK, that alone would cost more than they're selling the board for :P
