71-90K Is Fake GPU is a thing ?

I’m in the process of building my first gaming rig, and due to a fixed budget, I’ve decided to go for a used GPU. This PC will be primarily used for gaming and nothing else. Initially, I checked online platforms like Gameloot and Gamenation, but their prices for used GPUs were almost the same as new ones. This led me to explore alternatives like Facebook Marketplace and OLX.

On Facebook Marketplace, I came across a seller listing a RTX 3070 for ₹17,500. I checked his profile and noticed he has multiple listings for 3000-series GPUs, with prices ranging from ₹17K to ₹25K. However, none of the GPUs he’s selling come with a warranty, bill, or original box. The only assurance he provides is a 7-day testing period.

I’m a bit skeptical about these GPUs. I’m not sure if they’re counterfeit or not.

Here is what my build looks like.

Recently, I met an OLX seller in Visakhapatnam who purchased GPUs for his editing and rendering work. The GPUs were used for only 3-4 months before he closed his shop due to losses. I bought an RX 6600 XT from him for 14k (he offered this price because he’s clearing stock). It’s working flawlessly, with temperatures under 70°C at max stress. He also has a 1660, rx 6600xt and a 2060 available, and he’s offering a warranty/test period. Note: The GPUs were purchased around 2022, and an invoice is available. Interested persons, DM me!
 
I feel ZOTAC GAMING GeForce RTX 3070 AMP Holo Twin for 22K ( I understand it a bit expensive for second hand) but this is only GPU I found so far which have close to 2 years of warranty, plus the seller lives like 10 minutes from place.

It is def possible to get 3070 under warranty for 17k
IF he is giving brand warranty, go ahead with the deal, just make sure to verify the bill before purchase, and on FB Marketplace, always deal via Admin (from trusted groups like Zoukart / JDS Tech etc etc). Never pay in advance.
Or go to their place and manually check and then buy the item.

And if he is only giving seller warranty, no brand warranty, chances are there that the card is a mined one.
I myself got stuck with 2 x 3070s (14k each) where both died in like 4-8months

Yeah, OP is fine paying the slightly higher price due to the long warranty + the seller being 10-15 away form his place so he can check everything which is an important criteria for OP
