I felt like it was a pretty good deal, but is it a scam?

No the card is just so old now that it's worth next to nothing

Looks fairly ok to me. What makes you suspicious?

 

@DaniPani to be fair a tenner is next to nothing lol

its an auction

There's still 6 days 12 hours left on it meaning its only been listed for 12 hours, not uncommon to put a low starting price and the price will most definitely get bid up before the auction ends.

 

Has all the right connectors to be real.

It's a 6 year old card, I see them for sale locally for $20-$40.

The cheapest i've seen is 40 euro but most of them are almost double that

Oh 

 

Well in any case, like people have said...if it stays under $30-$40 and it's something you can actually use. Go for it. Anything over that and it's too much.

As said above, it's probably not a scam. The price is that low because it is an auction and because the card has seen its glory days...

Don't get me wrong, while the GTX 660 is still very good, entry-level gaming cards like the GTX 1050 Ti can now beat it due to the advances in architecture.

I would definitely not pay more than $ 40 for it though.

Is this inaccurate then? http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-660-vs-Nvidia-GTX-1050/2162vs3650

I "upgraded" my 660ti for a 1050ti. Performance is what you expect for a few generation leaps. The 660 still did ok in games like XCOM2 etc, but hit a lot of fps drops and lags. The 1050ti is a bit better (as performance graphs show). So yes, the 660 is great for a super budget build, and I only upgraded because it was such a power hog.

 

They sell for around £30-60 here in the uk... but if you can get it for $12, that is a steal!

 

PS, the performance difference as shown in userbenchmark is about what I get. 30fps before, 40-50 in well optimized games now. The 1050ti is newer, so better optimised for newer games, but a lot more cost (£115 second hand 1050ti, vs £50 second hand 660ti)!
