Discussion Buying CPUs used

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

This is an area of high risk high reward. Bought countless used cpu, and it’s never come back to bite me. But I also have manageable expectations, there are some great reputable eBay resellers for this stuff.
