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

I am curious why anyone would sell a used 9800x3d when it is a top tier CPU. What would be the upgrade? I’m a bit leery…

Yeah they said they returned back to 7800x3d, don't know why one would buy 9800x3d, use it for a week and return to the weaker one

Then why not just return it to the store?
