I've said this one too many times and I'll say it again:

 

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is, especially for graphics cards. They'll sell them cheap because of the mining craze, then try to make a buck off it once they get screwed because of difficulty increases in the hashes or something.

 

That, or you'll end up with a $50 rock. No literally, not a graphics card, a rock.

That's the point; the price is the bait.

 

If they were selling the cards at normal pricing, why would anybody be buying from them over an actual reputable store/website?

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

That's what i wrote.. but don't you know if something like that could be used on "normal price" GPU? Or is there anyone who faced problem with scam GPU deal?

It can appear at any price point, but it's much less likely.

Like normally when you bough described item like "black cube" and seller ship you "red triangle" you can report it to ebay and get refund and keep that item. 

But isnt this some kind of botnet which resent money from paypal on bitcoin and leave or something like this? 

Or some experiment to lower GPU price?

(+- 1000CZK = +-50$)

I guess you could buy it, and charge back when you get a Gts 8800 instead
