Mine has just been shit getting piled from uncompleted projects. Too busy at work to put energy into figuring out what the fuck is piled here. I'm like a month or two away from fixing it really lol

Yes. I hate selling stuff on Ebay. I've probably sold about 15 items over $500 over the years. I've never actually been burned once even but I get worried each time as you always hear the horror stories. Biggest thing is I just always put insurance on the item. If they try to say it's damaged then I would be able to file an insurance claim. If they try to return it and send me a brick, well, I'd probably video record myself opening any returns for proof to Ebay if I ever had to fight anything.Were you worried about those buyers that lie fuck you over ? I rememberspronk saying something about that

Just got back from getting car serviced and buying one of these:
PowerSpec G436 Gaming Computer; Intel Core i7 10700K 3.8GHz Processor; NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 8GB GDDR6; 32GB DDR4-3200 - Micro Center
Get it now! The PowerSpec G436 desktop computer is a powerful gaming machine featuring the Intel Core i7-10700K unlocked processor cooled with a Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML240L 240mm RGB Water Cooling Kit mounted on an MSI Z490 Plus system board.
Will set it up tonight when I wake up. New ergo/mesh chair came in too. Just waiting on desk next week and my new setup will be complete.

Same here, it's now set up on my desk as I get things from old system onto it. I'm going to "reinstall things from the ground up so you don't have all those crap apps you never use on your old system on this one" route. Then going to move my trusty old 2TB HDD with pics/documents/whatever on it over and swap them. The Microcenter near me actually had an "out of box" model for $200 less, but I didn't get there fast enough to snag it.
Old system has crap for video cards, but is still an i7 with 32G of RAM so will become my VMware lab machine for work back in my workshop.

I've looked into that, apparently people have tried that but discovered that ebay doesn't accept videos of packing the box as proof of anything.

I've always had my doubts as well. How would Ebay know that you didn't just open it, take the item out, put a brick back in, tape it back up real nice, turn the camera on, and start recording your unboxing. My biggest rule of thumb is just don't sell anything I can't risk taking a complete loss on. An old video card, yes, they are worth more now, but if I got scammed on it, it wouldn't be the end of the world. Now if I was trying to flip a 3070 or 3080 on there for 1-2k and got scammed, yeah I'd be pretty damn livid. I actually sold my old gaming laptop locally last week, and even though I sold it for $100 less than what they were going for on Ebay, it was worth it. I didn't have to pay $70 in ebay fees, didn't have to ship it, didn't have to wait for my money, and didn't have to wonder for weeks if they were going to file a return. Only hard part was the skechiness of not knowing if the person you are meeting will just rob you and take your shit. I don't sell out of my house either so that nutso's like
Fadaar
don't come burn my house down if they want to return the item.

So those buying prebuilt systems with a 30x card what is/was your wait time when ordering? Wife is probably due for an upgrade so was thinking of getting a 3080 prebuilt then doing the video card shuffle between the families computers. And for prebuilt whos the go to vendors?
