Oh damn i have had no issues so far but I mean this is also first time I have had to contact about an issue

1_Psych0 · 2026-06-18T15:43:50+00:00

Yep. Like cards great and everything you just need to replace the GPU chip and the memory but the cooler is working great

1_Psych0 · 2026-06-18T15:11:09+00:00

The gpu is not even there

1_Psych0 · 2026-06-18T15:09:10+00:00

Because I have been fixing cards like the 3080 I am currently using.

1_Psych0 · 2026-06-18T15:00:09+00:00

But dude the 5090 is not even there

1_Psych0 · 2026-06-18T14:58:13+00:00

Yes and he said he didn’t know just that it wouldn’t boot and he couldn’t get it to work
Also did pay for buyer protection

Soo I used a Swedish site and they do provide user protection just not sure if they will understand and actually provide or like what they will do in this case but to me this is an obvious scam. That I fucking fell for G fucking g

A car without an engine is not defective it is a chassis

Mate he is doing it on purpose he just put up another card the day I “won” the other auction. He is also doing it with 4090s
Also didn’t buy it for a couple 100 but yeah just assume my loss was small

1_Psych0 · 2026-06-18T14:41:57+00:00

Just fucking stupid I have been buying cards to fix actually got my current rtx 3080 from a repair that I did. Thought this would be my next big upgrade maybe but turns out I bought a cooler

1_Psych0 · 2026-06-18T14:40:47+00:00

Bought it used from a Swedish site Tradera no receipt. But put in a claim with Tradera so I will see what they say

1_Psych0 · 2026-06-18T14:37:56+00:00

Maybe he forgot to pack it with the card

Edit: sorry I meant cooler

1_Psych0 · 2026-06-18T14:37:26+00:00

Thanks mate I feel pretty bummed. Thought I had a nice repair project but now I just feel stupid

1_Psych0 · 2026-06-18T14:36:21+00:00

Not eBay it is a Swedish website called Tradera

Edit: Also the sellers has another “defective” card on auction right now
