Just got an i5 4690k used for 204 dollars, sellers says he used it once and that was it. It didnt come with a box or heatsink. Did i fuck up /g/?
>Pre-owned CPU - Only "used once"
What does that mean? Used once. It's a CPU. It has a single indefinite purpose... you really can't use a CPU twice can you?

Seems like the guy was an idiot.
You bought it I guess, now use it and if it dies it dies.

Im just wondering if it was a good buy cause now my parents think im an idiot for buying it at that price even though I constantly tried to convince them it wasnt a bad buy.
I bought a brand spanking new one for pretty close to that price (maybe $15-20 difference), so yeah you probably got ripped.
It only takes one retard doing a boot test without the CPU fan to ruin it. Or maybe he ran a test that brought temps to 120. You'll never know, and its the most important component.

They probably think you're an idiot because you spent $200 on a processor you're going to use to play video games

>Im just wondering if it was a good buy
If you live in America
>it's objectively a bad buy. I work at microcenter and we sell that processor for $199.
If you live in socialist yurop
>probably a good deal with all the inflation

It was 199 but shipping was 4 dollars

bad buy
how dumb are you.
>>52375517
Everything you buy 2nd hand is only used once. It's called 'lying to get the most amount money out of retards who buy 2nd hand goods off the internet, who actually think they're getting a good deal.'
Frys had it for $199 today
surely you couldve shelled out the extra 30 fuckin dollars for a non USED cpu
OP here, guess i fucked up. Well might as well use it and pray it doesnt shit on me. Thanks for the constructive criticism gents, hope yall have a good night.
