      A non bang for the buck would include a 2080ti as that crap is an overpriced gimmick at the moment

Do they want to hand deliver the package or something? Even shipping a phone to EU would typically cost anywhere from 60 to 120 USD. This is stupid.

    The 980ti has kept a high value because it's the last graphics card (excluding the Titan X Maxwell) to have a Analog out via DVI. A lot of retro enthusiasts who still use high end CRT monitors are still buying them.

      samysnes meh. Around here you buy the latest generation of graphics card because they fucking never drop ;_; I tried to put togheter a similar setup and the 1070 ti is (the cheapest one!) 400 euro. Now, the 1660 ti is only 290, and that's great value because... it's the same price as the 1060. I hate shopping for video cards.

    EBay has a lot of storefronts for brick and mortar stores and the big tech websites too. I recently bought a motherboard and some case fans from ebay from retailers that had them priced higher on their own websites, even on black friday. I managed to save hundreds of dollars by shopping around, as opposed to my initial budget according to RRP. Ebay can be a great tool when you shop smart.

    Hey Linus. Great video. I am rocking an Ebay build myself. It is OLD and i am already doing upgrade research/pricing. (Ebay Build Basics- i7 3770k, Asus P8Z77-V-LK, 32 GB 1866 Corsair Vengeance, GeForce Windforce 3GB 1060, DIYPC 3 RGB fan side glass case...plus more) ,While it can be a chance buying anything ONLINE let alone Ebay, I can say it is usually pretty straight forward sales. I even got factory warranty on a gforce 9 series once. Yea, my build is at end life cyce for upgrades, But still runs all modern games at meduim to high with 60 or more FPS. This beast of a build may be old, but ALIVE running strong, and still kicking.
    I too sell on ebay. I have for may years now with a seller rating of 98.7 % which is awesome considering how many sales I have logged (i will share the reasons for under 100% in my tips below-(section 2b).....Allow me to share some key....KEY shopping tips.
    1. Set search results to show at 200 per page. Makes looking around ALOT easier.
    2. ALWAYS CHECK - Price Low to High, Buy it Now, Free Shipping, US SELLER only ( YES, may pay more but A LOT faster shipping and EASIER returns if ever needed.) You should have parts within 2 to 5 days if done correctly.
    2a. BEFORE YOU BUY look at estimated delivery date, if it shows 2 or more weeks from anywhere on U.S. soil....it is a scam from overseas that has grown 100 fold over the last few years now. An overseas seller will set a listing as U.S. seller, then toss on boat to cross ocean next day.
    2b. BEFORE YOU BUY, look at sellers reputation. They can NOT DELETE bad reviews, only THE PERSON who wrote it can (even Ebay will not do it for a seller)...On Ebay the reviews never lie...BUT....if you see 20 great reviews, and one or 2 bad it is OK! Prolly bad hardware, box drops in shipping, or buyer that did not know exactly what to do before trying to build a PC.
    3. If you see weird spelling in an item's description be wary of an overseas seller.
    4. IF EVER IN DOUBT, UTILIZE THE MESSAGE SYSTEM!!!! Solid sellers will respond and answer ANY question(s) you have.
    I hope this helps someone out there. Good luck on the next Ebay build my fellow gamers. I hope to see you in a launch lobby soon.

      I mean.... that sorta makes sense considering that people/companies selling on ebay need to pay upto 10% in ebay fees plus upto 4% on PayPal fees. Plus the SSD wasn't even bought used from some random seller, it was new from a genuine company that was selling on ebay. If that company had their own website, chances are the SSD would have been cheaper buying direct from the companies site rather than through ebay.
