So I put my 3090 Gigabyte card on ebay and decided to keep the FE. The buyer is claiming the LCD is scratched though, and wants $250 back so they can "get it repaired". As far as I know the card was immaculate when I boxed it up. Sounds like a scam right?

I really, really, really hate ebay and I'm kicking myself for not just keeping the damn thing. Thoughts on whether I accept the return and then return the FE to BB? or give this guy $250?

Get a video of the card w/ the same serial on it that IS scratched.

you can't say you never got it, since there is tracking eBay will side with the seller in that case since it'll show delivered and usually some form of signature (even indirect). You have to claim SNAD - Significantly Not As Described aka "the seller lied, yo!" - demand a refund, and then send back whatever the fuck you want as long as it weighs the same. You will probably never be able to do another chargeback on eBay but who cares if you got a free 3080, right?

Its a lesson every small time person learns, for me it was a hitman 2 steam key (LOL) i got free, i sold it for $20, a month later buyer did a chargeback claiming stolen account/credit card and I lost the $20 PLUS eBay charged me an additional $25 because I guess they eat that cost from a chargeback. Fucked in the ass and no lube all, was an eye opener in the literal sense.


Anyways Intel seems to be fired up after the latest AMD chipset, I tend to have doubt since the company seems to be completely lost and clueless

more 3080ti rumors

He sent a picture showing some scratches near the LCD thing. Were they there when I shipped it? Don't think so. It was pristine, in an anti static bag in 2 boxes with a shitload of packing and at least 10 passes of packing tape around the box. Is he lying, damage it himself, or pasted some scratches in with PS? Who knows. I sent him a partial refund because I'm going to be happy just never thinking about listing anything major on ebay ever again.

Thanks for the tip. Just brought a bunch of rocks in from the yard, weighing them now.

Are jews really scammers, though? It was kinda legal for a thousand years to just murder them on a whim, I'd expect that would somehow lead to honest business practices.

There’s a term in the states for someone trying to swindle down the money you are asking for, it’s even a verb. “Don’t let that guy Jew you down when you’re selling him your car.” I’m serious.

I wonder where a phrase like that originated.

The 3060 Ti in this generation is a cut down 3070. It uses the GA104 die. The regular 3060 will use the GA102 die. The reason the 3060 Ti came out first this generation is they are already making 3070s from the GA104 die and all the minorly defective dies can just be cut down into 3060 Tis. They haven't started selling anything off the GA102 die yet. Similarly, once the GA102 die parts start selling, the 3050 Ti will be a cut down 3060 from the new die.
So basically GPU dies are alien cubes the Nvidia archaeologists unearthed in Narnia, so their Cybermancer-Nanotechnicians can slice of impossibly thin slices of silicone to use in their product? Nevermind the supply situation then, I'm surprised that shit is even legal.

Correct.
