$500 for the CPU

I have purchased plenty of good used HW from Ebay and have never had a problem, but that was not my ?.....I just wanted to know that if it stays in that $500 range, if it is a good deal. And it's only 4 days old, not a big deal, he also emailed me the receipt stating the date that it was purchased, trust me, I'm no newb ebayer :)

I only got hardware from ebay once and it was no go.

Like I said...the cpu is worth $500 and the mobo worth $200 brand new. You have to decide for yourself what you think used hardware is but the common mark down between two people who don't know eachother is 33% cheaper.

33% cheaper even though the HW is not even used and only 4 days old? Sounds a little steep, don't you think?

@500 dollars that's a good deal even if the board has crap for o/c'ing features(which i dont know).

let's put it this way, i'd buy it for $500 and as long as you are comfortable with ebay go for it.
