Where could I find a cheap used gtx 980 ti?

[channingspike]

I've been searching for a cheap gtx 980 ti, however failing to find a cheap one (My budget is <$300.) I honestly don't care where it is, like on a ios app. Please help me out!

I think you might be searching for something that doesn't exist, with the current GPU prices, people have probably snagged all the cheap 980tis because 10 series cards are really expensive

Those posts were from either 2016 or 2017, it obviously isn't an issue now because you'd have thought there would be posts from...2018

In the last 2 months? What are you on about? Most of those threads are from 2017 and 2016, they are more than a year old.

Wouldn't that mean that most of the existing units are still a danger? 2018 just started mate.

Why on earth would you buy from them even if the fires were a year old?

Because this wasn't an apparent defect, these fires are usually caused by misuse or just plain luck (it happens) and it's just unfortunate that all were EVGA cards but I'm sure other vendors have had their fair share of flaming cards.
