I found a sale of MSI GamingX GTX 1080ti on a website which is regarded as a craigslist type site in my country. It is called Quikr. The retailed price is way too low i.e Rs 15,000($ 230.25). The persons selling it lives in the vicinity of my city. I was in search of a graphics card for quite a time and when I saw this I was shocked and happy too. I want some advice that should I trust this person about it or is it a fake. I have attached the link to the website as well a snipped photo of the sale below.

Looks legit, but if you can test it onsite and have transferable warranty is desired

I could visit him before buying. I was thinking that too, but this price is way off its retail or even current price so should I check this out ?

It's pretty easy to get a legit picture of a card and still be selling a fake one.

It looks like all of the identifying stickers were taken off. It's entirely possible that that it could be a 1050ti sitting on a 1080ti box. They look identical.
