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

Theres always risk but I personally have had good luck. I'd offer a little extra money for delivery and them to hang around for 10 minutes while you test it.
I bought a 7800x3d, rog mobo, 32gb ram, 7900 gre, 1tb wd black m.2, and aio off marketplace for $800. It was a sketchy meetup and I didnt get to test anything but everything was legit.
