Worth the risk?

Greetings,

With the next-gen GPUs heading closer, the current-gen's prices seem to have a substantial drop.

I was searching for a bargain and stumbled upon a decently priced GPU. According to the owner the card has been subjecting into mining for 1 year, however, it was never overclocked. He also claimed that the maximum load his card undergone was 75%, with the speed fans being at 46%, maintaining a constant 65 Celcius.

He kindly run some benchmarks and sent me the results, as well:

Also note that this specific card is valued around 40-70$ lower than the other buyers' GPUs.

I've been mining 24/7 on a handful of R9 390s for nearly three years with no issue.  YMMV
