i'm from Mumbai and seller was from Kolkatta (so the longest shipping time i can expect lol). this was my first entry into getting anything used so I understand wanting first to try local deals but I couldn't find any seller from Mumbai region, there were few but I specifically wanted Asus tuf variant. in these groups buyers always drop a thank you post by tagging the seller so you can also check those post related yo your seller to get some more info, message the buyer for knowing his experience over all. little bit of research can put your mind at ease.Thanks. I had given up on Facebook in 2015 but I guess it's time to create a new account lol.
Also, was you 3070 a local deal or did you have it shipped?
i actually first got a second hand but new RMA sealed pack PSU of corsair's HXI platinum series, normally such things would be way above my budget. but i took the risk and it was worth it. this was also from Kolkatta but different seller (it was one of zoukarts admin) so chances of failure were less.
Dang good deal my man. Very nice.
Btw I thought the second group in the last you mentioned was deleted by fb. Either that or I got banned lol. I couldn't find it even when I searched for it.
yea prices are amazing, way nice compare to whatever this forum's market place is for GPU. Some of those sellers in FB group are actually retail seller of known computer shops, so they will even guide you for future RMA services if ever needed.
