Craiglist thread Looking through the for sale Computer section

>it has the pin connector

It's fucking shit. Not worth $10, you could get brand new ones for $10

Buy it. Do a build completely from cheap parts on Craigslist. Post it here as you go.

>>52360480
it was a joke, anon

>>52360465
looks like a shitbox keyboard probably paired with a late '90s/early '00s dimension

having a PS/2 port doesn't mean it's a mechanical placebo, but if you just like the look or something and would use it then go for it

Does anyone have any experience buying a graphics card from Craiglist?

I've bought other stuff, but never pc components.

Is there stuff I should look out for?
It's listed as used - like new, and when I asked why he's selling he just said he doesn't really need it anymore.

It looks like a good deal and I'd rather drop the $160 for the instead of $200 for it new because I'm somewhat of a poorfag, but any suggestions on what to look for would be great

>$40 price difference
If you buy the Craigslist card (that you know nothing about) and it breaks, you have no recourse.
If you buy a brand new card and it breaks, you have a warranty.

>>52360954
>It's listed as used - like new
fuck who ever says this, used is used

I bought a 390 from crabslist with no regrets. Just have the guy show it working and running a bench if you're worried. Ask questions and feel them out.

>>52360990
use that to your advantage. Tell the seller the same thing and low ball them at a price you're comfortable with. If it's cheap enough it could be well worth the risk

>>52360990
That's true. Well I just re-checked, and the one on craiglist is a gtx 960 4gb, but I was looking at the gtx 960 2gb, and a 4gb is ~$230 new, so it would be closer to a $70 difference.

Fuck my poorfag life.


How are Corsair keyboards?

This is going for $60. Right now I just have some old rubber dome keyboard that does me fine, but I was wondering if this is a good deal?

>>52360972
I love when people don't know what they have and just copy the Newegg description.

>>52361041
If you're scrimping money then a fancy keyboard is the last thing you should worry about. I still use a fucking stock Dell keyboard.

>>52361041
New for over 100, and looks great so yes a good deal. Unless you want budget, in which case don't go mechanical.

>>52361058
Fuck, you're right. I'm getting ahead of myself. I took last semester off of work for class and I've just started working again and I'm getting all eager since I've got money coming in again.

I always think of money spent in terms of hours worked to earn it. It helps put things in perspective. Still, sometimes I end up buying shit that I regret anyway.
The other guy is right about checking out the card though. It could be worth a shot if the guy is willing to show you that it works right.

Anyway there sure are some sick deals in my neck of the woods.

>>52361041
Getting a used keyboard sounds kinda gross
Check out the Azio MGK-1 on amazon

>>52361129
How low do you think would be too low for low-balling for a gtx 960?

The only thing I ever tried to haggle for was a bike I bought off a craiglist and I didn't go too low

>>52360664
what

>>52361129
But in all fairness, even if a keyboard is a weeks salary, if you're using it every day and it will last for years I consider it a great purchase.

young car owners, everyone

>>52361153
Probably less that $100 usd. Its a 200ish card new, I'd do slightly more than 100 at least.

>>52361129
>use as is
>working version of OS
>they are not nuking their HDD

>>52361197
Quality of cooler and stock clock/overclock.

Generally, higher price means better something, usually more/bigger fans or better factory overclock, but maybe also features.

But I can't imagine a better 960 getting you that much more performance for that price range.

Kind of unrelated but once I accidentally mounted my CPU cooler upside down so it blasted hot air into the back of the GPU. I didn't realise for a little while. Not my proudest moment.

>>52361041
that's a very good price.
you can just unscrew the keyboard, take off keys, give it a good cleaning. nothing will happen to it.


I would buy it in a heartbeat.
But do make sure it works alright...

>>52361129
The Lenovo is a good one.
Who cares how it looks if the internals are fine.

I would buy it.

I actually bought an R9 270x off CL for $100 flat.

I met the guy in person. He was a very sharply dressed person, we met after his work (I'm a college kid). He said he decided not to crossfire anymore and so he's selling the board.

>>52361441
>tech ingorant
well he's not wrong

By the way /g/, here is a heads up warning.
I bought a T500 years ago, and I got scammed a big time.
Maybe my story will help you NOT to get scammed.

> Found ad on a trusted (!) used hardware selling site
> Guy even had positive reputation, which meant a lot there
> T500 for a reasonable price

So I contacted him.
First red flag:
> My friend will bring the laptop because he is going to Germany, and he can drop it off while he is on his way
...
The guy arrived, he looked normal, etc.
I have downloaded some burn in tests, 3D mark, etc.

Ran all the tests. Connected to wifi. Ran prime95.
Everything worked. I had WIFI, I had 3D, both cards worked.

So we pay the guy, he leaves.
It was late, so next day I wanted to 'play' with my new laptop.

cont...

>>52363100
cont'd:

> switch to the discrete card, no output
> plug a display to it with VGA, screen is all garbled, like GPU is fried, switch to Integrated
> wifi won't connect
> take apart laptop, the wifi cables are fried (this shit - I never figured out how they managed that)

The serial came back clean from Lenovo, that was my biggest luck.
Took it to the repair center.
+ They paid for a new motherboard, for the new wifi module
- I had to pay for the new wifi 'cables' and repair hours

Overall the laptop was ~720 USD.
The repairs cost me ~110 USD.
In the end I had a used T500 for ~830 USD.

I still considered myself lucky, the laptop was like ~2000$ in my country at the time.
But yes, they did intend to scam me big time, and they almost succeeded.
Still don't know if the laptop was stolen or something, but it still works.

So, yeah, be careful fellas.

>>52360539
That seems reasonable, actually.

>>52363121
>>52360539
btw the 8800 GTX is a fucking beast.
it can be OC'd so damn hard it beats a 7870 easily.

it was a really great GPU.

>I can't believe this shit is allowed on the roads

It absolutely wouldn't be. Having headlights mounted that high is definitely not legal, you'd get pulled over in a hot second if you passed a non-retarded cop.

>>52361197
Buy a used 970 for the same price
