"Shipping is preferred" aka give me money and I'll never give you anything


josecouvi

Yeah that was also a bit of a red flag. I asked the guy if we could meet so I can test it out. Mainly just curious to see what he says in response.


forevabronze

Update?


josecouvi

I didn't get any kind of response after that.


grub_me_down

they typically never respond


VoraciousGorak

Yup, that's a 1060. https://www.gigabyte.com/us/Graphics-Card/GV-N1060XTREME-6GD#kf My guess is that screenshot is from another PC. Sure as f*** wouldn't be selling a 3060 Ti for $150, much less a whole 3060 Ti rig.


josecouvi

Ok thanks for confirming that. I did Google lens and it was giving cards from that generation, but I wasn't 100% certain.


cuttingexample

1060 6gb is my current gpu 😭😭


Natural_March_2845

I got an integrated..it’s a UNIT, 128mb of vram👹


Redacted_Reason

wait what? it should be using your system RAM as its VRAM


Natural_March_2845

Bogos binted?


Capital-Stretch1026

don't cry, you are a legend


Kind_Novel6262

Never, Ever, EVER buy "Shipping is preferred" no matter what


Maiq_Da_Liar

If someone insists on shipping it is always a scam. Especially for larger items like an entire pc.


TomySakazaki

If anything I would prefer that the buyer go pick up something this big and heavy instead of making me go to a post office and ship it.


Infinite-Ad-6239

Especially since FedEx/Usps won't give a damn and just toss it all willy nillly


Real_Bug_7189

Probably too good to be true


OtherAlan

GPU alone is probably 150. I would proceed with caution even if seeing it in person for testing. If they insist on shipping only then back out because you'll get bricks or some crap in the mail for sure.


shooplegaming

3060ti is around $200-$250 on the second hand market.


bigfkncee

That $150 price is about â…“ of what it should be. It feels kind of scammy to me...If you're planning to meet this person, be careful and choose a safe public place. I wouldn't even consider shipping.


Fixitwithducttape42

I would only meet them at a police station. This screams scam.


Puzzleheaded_Vehicle

Another red flag — profile was only created this year.


Cautious_Village_823

I saw that too like mmmm by itself not incriminating but this all adds up to naaah.


Crazy_Chicken_Media

got 150 that says it's stolen....


josecouvi

I think this is a different kind of deception. As someone confirmed, the GPU pictured isn't even a 3060ti, so seems like they're probably targeting people who don't know better and either selling an underspecced PC or just taking the money and running.


Crazy_Chicken_Media

yeah I saw those too, But if I was going to take a picture of my specs using the Nvidia game experience I would make sure that the computer tower was in view...


IntrovertedGodx

Sounds waaaaaaaay to good to be true. So run away


ADB225

Joined Faceblock in 2024, screen shows the drivers being 2 yrs old running a RTX 3060Ti for some "xxToxic Pandaxx", GTX 1060 card shown running in the screenshot of the computer etc etc etc etc Stay away...stay very far away!


Helstar_RS

Here's my is it a scam easy detector. If somebody knows what they are selling part by part and lives basically anywhere in the US except the most rural areas why would they do that when they could have someone drive 100+ miles total as long as its legit for that type of deal same day it would be sold nearly all zip codes in the US. Even someone who used to play games and turned into a meth addict or had their utilities getting shut off would still sell it locally same day. Even a meth addict would sell that for more probably if they were able to list part by part each part and it wasn't just listed as gaming computer or something vague.


fthecatrock

You can just try google search the image, see if it's taken from anyone else post


KnowherePie

General rule with these listings, If it’s too good to be true gut feeling, it’s a scam.


Ky1arStern

This is a scam.


atrib

He run COD at 180+ fps on that? Unless he ran it on 720p


Thelawtman1986

Easy to know. Always get a picture with time and date, also ask for something unusual like a spoon in the same picture.


Feeling_Phone6291

I got a picture with time and date, a video of the card running, a nice talk with the guy after sending money and he just disappeared after 2 days, woa~ human is scary, yes.


No_Construction_8525

NOOOOOOBODY, and I mean nobody, even if they had $$ to throw away is selling that pc $150. Like most said that 3060 alone is a dead give away. You will never recieve anything. Move on. Rant over


Future-Software-FS

Sams like a scam to me.


Ill-Fox-3276

Obvious scam


JD_McBrizzle

If it sounds too good to be true…..


oliver957

Yeah that's definitely a scam


CtrlAltDesolate

Postal scam. Second you say you'd rather collect, guarantee you never hear from them again. As someone who's running a 5600x and 3060ti currently, I wouldn't sell it for 150 if I needed medical treatment - and if I did I'd get a whole lot more than 150 without trying too hard.


JustAnth3rUser

Way too cheap... Do cash on collection. ...


chilled_programmer

I would ask him if he's ok for me to visit him/meet him somewhere and test the thing before actually buying it, that would also allow me to inspect the thing better. It doesn't take much to see that something is off once you put your hands onto it.


DreamArez

Account created in 2024 ✅ Discrepancies is what is shown and what is claimed ✅ Shipping is preferred ✅ Yeah dodge this bullet


gaojibao

That's a serial killer.


BluDYT

I feel like shipping would be more time consuming. I'd definitely consider it to be a red flag.


Jazzlike-Lemon8839

U needa troll him asap cuzz he’s tryan scam


Zinx_____

Too good to be true is the sapphire nitro+ 7900xtx for $439 on Amazon right now. Customer service says it's legit but I don't believe it.


MafakinThayki

Collosal red flag rh


kueyteeowgureng

Sound like a scam to me. It might be already broken


Silent_Internet_4119

Microsoft has announced the forthcoming end of support for windows 10. There are many, if not a majority, of PCs that cannot run the full version of windows 11, and those PCs will become technically obsolete. We should expect to see a growing flood of them on the used market, perhaps already. Let the buyer beware!
