By the way fpgas are not that efficient on Raven , for example there are some mining new alghorithm already 4000euro worth of FPGA is doing 100 mh/s at 120 watts. https://mineshop.eu/fpga-miners/xilinx-bcu-1525-fpga-detail/

good luck with that, none of the ones ive bought second hand have been "burned"

Prove it they are available for everyone for 1000 would like to buy some?

go to the fpga discord like everyone else? last 3 i bought stock passive no ram were 1100 usd each.

They are brand new, burned second hand you can get for 1000.

that is fine to buy used equipment,  cars, vga cards, cpus and etc. people used to do it for a long time.
a lot people bought used ASICs after proper diagnostics and they worked as intended.
sure there is more risk against new equipment but the price 2-4 times less and that is totally fine reward for the risk, imho.
based on fact that profit is reducing very fast, purchasing  used equipment may allow to ROI faster.
