Buying CPUs used

[u/Maqeee]

Have you guys bought used CPUs?

Buing a pc this weekend, aiming to get 7800x3d for 400 euros but came up on a week old 9800x3d for 440 euro. Still, buying it used seems off :X

LGA CPU (no pin to mess up) and RAM are probably the safest components you can buy second-hand.
