A year and a half ago, selling a video card on eBay was basically the same as paying someone to punch you in the face. It was as likely you’d get an INAD and eat the loss as anything else. So when I had one to sell, I sold it on FB Marketplace, and meeting in person for that much money didn’t feel a lot less sketchy but at least it was in public and I could count the money.

Now, I want to replace a Nvidia card with an AMD one and that leaves me selling the Nvidia. It would be extremely convenient to sell it on eBay, but I’m looking for some perspective on whether the buyer protection scams have died down for video cards over there now that the shortage has passed, or if it’s still basically a waste of time.

    I was going to recommend r/hardwareswap but I’m not sure how it’s faring since 3PA’s we’re nixxed.

    Sad, because I’ve bought and sold several GPUs there with no issue.

    Was actually looking to sell my Ayaneo2 in order to partially find an ROG Ally but didn’t have the time before July.
