The $60 1080ti

[Sellin Hugs]

Hey so i just bought this gpu from ebay. Was a buy it now listing, says its factory sealed and the guy has 100% feedback ratings ao far. Just bought it to find out if its a fake or maybe I just scored. Who knows but I invite you to follow along. If you have any tests I can run to verify this card is legit pls let me know. If this even ships and im not getting scammed. 

[NelizMastr]

Probably just feedback from him as a buyer, not as a seller. You'll likely get a sealed empty box, lol.

[Totallycasual]

Have you not ever heard the expression about if something is too good to be true it probably is?  

[mikat]

Either broken or empty box or someone screwed up the listing and you'll get your money back and no card because they realise it's the wrong price

[asus killer]

if you want i have for sale the Golden Gate Bridge, amazing views over the bay, 50$, PM me if interested.

[vanished]

If it's not what they say, and they make it very clear it is a brand new 1080 Ti, you can just get a refund through ebay, so while it's probably a scam, it's not like you are really risking anything.  good luck lol

You probably get like a reflashed GT 710 with a dodgy "1080ti" like shroud.

[Herman Mcpootis]

a 1080ti at a price that's less than 1/10 the current 1080ti prices? yup, must be legit.

[ItsTheDuckAgain]

I will be surprised if that card is in the box or shows up at all :-)

I wish people would stop buying shit like this. All you're doing is furthering the problem.

Totally a scam. I've seen so many "highend" gpus for sale there for super low prices and they are always a scam unless they are broken. There's actually a thread here dedicated to scam gpus and what they actually turn out to be.

This is clearly  a hacked seller and withing 1 day you will receive a notice from ebay that this listing has been removed and you been refunded the money... happens all the time.. 

Would be funny though ,) 

 

As for those saying its a broken gpu etc if its a 1080ti which is broken (not physically) then RMA it to manufacture and get a new... why would people even list or sell an item

 

[Hiitchy]

I’m the only person who has actually sold a 1070 for $65. Probably shouldn’t have seeing as people are giving in on false hope.

[alphaproject]

I agree that it's someone with most likely a hacked account. I think someone hacked my account once, not sure how, but I got it fixed. I was getting emails about shady items that I didn't list.... I'm like WTF?

@Sellin Hugs

Get a refund immediately. I have experimented with these types of Ebay listings a couple times in the past because why not. Both times, the next day after purchasing, I got an email from Ebay saying that the seller's account was compromised. What this means is that, sure, the account has rep, *from the original user.* Somebody was able to get into the account and list "cheap video cards." People will fall for it because the seller has rep. Both times I knew it was a scam, I just wanted to see what would happen. It is a scam though. Get your money back immediately. Don't get burned.

[Morgan Everett]

By buying into this scam, you're encouraging more of this behaviour on eBay. Poor form, really.

[Sellin Hugs]

Well it turns out the the $60 1080ti wasnt legit. Compromised Ebay account as most of us figured. Getting my money back today and will probably get a 1060 until the end of Q3 early Q4 when hopefully prices drop. From what I understand we might see a substantial price drop when Samsung releases their ASIC mining cards. Dont quote me on that but you gotta have hope!

No shit, who could've ever imagined it!

 

Seriously... why... I have been here for two years and every week we have had at least one of these threads about these 50~100 dollars video cards that are worth nearly a thousand dollars currently and most amazingly is people actually still asking if it is legit or not.

 

It will never be legit, how hard is it to figure this on your own? not attacking OP directly it's just that this is so common and I simply can NOT understand how there's people being hopeful for this kind of thing.

sigh... there is no what if you just further the issue abusing the system knowing you're doing something wrong only because you can get the money back but someone is still losing that money even if it's paypal/ebay themselves.

If it turned out to be a real card and I got it at that much of a discount I wanted to do a charity build. Give it away in a decent gaming rig to someone less fortunate. Getting your money back is easy.

It was never going to be a 'real card'.
