Title: Second hand rigs/GPUs? Post by: normanbc on December 05, 2017, 05:50:29 AM As the title says, what are your thoughts about buying second hand mining rigs or GPUs. I've checked on Ebay and lots of options are there to get cheap -or at least it seems to be, mining rigs or nvidia GPUs and even antminers for altcoints.
I know that mining Bitcoin nowadays is not very profitable in the short run due to costs involved to get proper mining equipment. Getting second hand hardwares might be an option. I've also listed some almost-new chinese GPUs. Please post your reasons why it is or it is not a good option. Title: Re: Second hand rigs/GPUs?

Title: Re: Second hand rigs/GPUs? Post by: Capt_DaWei on December 06, 2017, 03:50:54 AM As a general rule I do not like buying second hand electronics, be it ASIC, GPU, rig or laptop, ...
Second hand mostly means no warranty and that is if you receive something that works, are not fake, ... in the 1st place. Title: Re: Second hand rigs/GPUs?

Very true.Second hand mostly means no warranty and that is if you receive something that works, are not fake, ... in the 1st place. I think that's the first and most important point to keep in mind. Other than that searching locally, I can have access to gaming PCs second hand that some boys sels because they need money, and theyr cheap. I guess that if I get good deals I can lose warranties but earn economy. Title: Re: Second hand rigs/GPUs? Post by: [YAZ] on December 06, 2017, 10:55:25 AM WRONG! Good job!

I purchase used (or preferably via retail open box) frequently. I don't think I would purchase a full rig second hand - especially off of ebay. I always personally inspect the used items before purchasing.
Fun fact - I've had to RMA several new parts - never a used one. Lucky I guess... |
