Did you buy Your Graphics Card Used or Brand new? - Mix - May 31, 2019
So I had a thought and wondered how many people buy second-hand graphics cards, This only came to me because I was looking online at the price difference when I bought my 1070 and bought it for just £200 used, I know about the whole mining bio flashing and such but I knew if the card was flashed I could reflash it to its original bio.
So my question for everyone is Did you buy yours new? Or used?
And also tell me why if you wanna be HQ like me ;)

Used for like 700 Euros around the time when cards went up to 1.1k for the 1080ti

I've bought all of mine new. Not that I'm completely opposed to used hardware, I just find it a lot easier to buy new from reputable places.
