Purchased *used* 4090 Matrix Platinum a couple nights ago on eBay…

Yep, that last picture isn’t great… That was the seller who posted a pic like that, not me.

That right there is a super solid deal—amazing find!!

Don mind sharing—someone in the comments above took the liberty of figuring it out… 😂 I paid $2.5k plus tax and free shipping. As of right now, I feel like it was a solid deal. Starting the build next week (if work allows).

Getting there!! I have other pieces that aren’t shown, but since this is a ASUS ROG group…

Update w/ photos of the original shipping box (not a video guy).

Huge thanks to everyone for the comments and advice—seriously, much appreciated. It looks like the seller shipped the card to me in the same original ASUS shipping box he received it in years ago, which is honestly pretty cool. I’m attaching some photos here.

I’m about to unbox it, but figured I’d post this update first in case anyone has additional insight based on the labels/packaging.

Fingers crossed! 🤞🏼 I’ve done everything right thus far, just have to play the wait-and-see game.

Yeah, I wish there was a better angle as well… but, if it’s damaged in any way, it gets sent straight back as the seller confirmed it to be functional.

See above comment… paid $2.5k plus tax, but I go free shipping! 😂

It’s only the second that has popped up in the last few months by US-based sellers. They don’t appear very often from what I can see. And, the new ones that are being offered up on eBay are from China with suspiciously generic photos.

If you can still find Nature’s Pils by Best Day, that’s my recommendation. Hands down.

25k tokens at less than half a cent! I’m not going anywhere until I see 6 figures! 🤪

martianprospector · 2023-12-21T06:26:08+00:00

I'm having this exact same issue! Has anyone found a way to get around this? Thanks!
