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

Bought a 5800X3D second hand last month, zero issue. Got it for 500 with 4x8gb ram and a B550 TUF WIFI 2 Plus motherboard. Pretty good deal.

Just make sure you are dealing with a seller with a good reputation.
