I'm Contacting You About the 280X for Sale: A Cautionary Tale

As I sat down to write this article, I couldn't help but think about my recent experiences trying to purchase a pair of NVIDIA GeForce 7950 GTX2 graphics cards. My intention was to build a gaming PC and ensure that both cards were fully functional before starting my project. I wanted to be polite and courteous in my approach, so I decided to start by contacting the seller about the price of the 280X. Little did I know that this would lead me down a rabbit hole of computer-related chaos.

The Seller's Price: A Steep Drop

When I first contacted the seller about the price of the 7950 GTX2, I was met with an initial response asking if I was firm on the price. However, as soon as I opened the conversation, it became apparent that the seller was already hesitant to negotiate. They seemed to be expecting a certain level of commitment from me, and were not interested in hearing any proposals or offers. I tried to tread carefully, but ultimately had to concede defeat.

The Craigslist Connection: A Tale of Scams and Schemes

As I continued to browse through Craigslist, I stumbled upon another listing for an SSD. The seller was asking for $40, but I was determined to get it for a steal. I offered them $30, which seemed like a reasonable price considering the storage capacity. However, as soon as I mentioned my offer, the conversation took a turn for the worse. The seller began to ramble on about their own computer setup, and seemed more interested in talking than actually selling me the SSD.

The Competition: A Gaming PC for My Friend

Meanwhile, I was trying to find a good deal on a budget gaming PC for my friend who's moving away. I wanted to get them a present that would bring some joy to their new life. However, as soon as I mentioned the project to potential sellers, they began to take advantage of me. One seller offered to part out an older computer for $20, but warned me that it might not be enough power for my friend's graphics cards. Another seller suggested that we could use two 500-watt power supplies to power both cards, which seemed like a ridiculous idea.

The Local Computer Store: A Visit to the Apple Specialist

In desperation, I decided to visit a local computer store to see if they had any used cases or other components that might fit my needs. However, as soon as we walked in, it became clear that this was an Apple specialist. The owner seemed more interested in selling MacBooks than actual PC components, and I was forced to ask for their advice on finding a suitable power supply for my graphics cards.

The Great Sushi Heist: A Side Note

As I continued to navigate the world of computer sales, I found myself taking breaks to enjoy some delicious sushi. However, as we sat down to eat, I realized that our conversation had somehow led me to leave my MacBook at a restaurant. It was later discovered that someone had stolen it, and I couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity of it all.

The Deep Dark Secret: My Obsession with Sandals

As I reflect on my experiences, I'm reminded of the deep dark secret behind my obsession with sandals. It's a tale of intrigue, adventure, and possibly even a grizzly bear or two. But for now, let's just say that there's more to me than meets the eye.

In conclusion, my experience trying to purchase a pair of NVIDIA GeForce 7950 GTX2 graphics cards has been a wild ride. From dodgy sellers to absurd price drops, it's been a journey of discovery and exploration. And as I sit here writing this article, I'm reminded that sometimes the best way to get what you want is to be willing to take risks and try new things.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enso as you can see we got our million dollar plaque billion million subscriber plaque and then we got our multiple hundred thousand well some things but i don't think it's really gold but my actual my favorite lot of money it does and then the silver ones too like if that's all solid that's quite a bit of money and then so welcome to scrapyard wars you guys might be wondering what's up with all the mad stacks well this crapyard wars is going to be a little bit different we are going to build a computer we are going to build a good value computer but there is no set budget the challenge today with our special guest austin evans is to build the best bang for the buck computer we'll be using five different benchmarks tomb raider far cry 4 cinebench pc mark and 3dmark firestrike to determine who has gotten the most possible value for their money all right friends boom care package from brand d brand skinned oh yes sirs so we got an s6 edge plus we got a note 5 and we got yes my friends macbook airs pearl it's what i always wanted okay so these are the tools that we'll be using to do all of our scrap yard warring thanks to dbrand let's see uh i think my macbook air is supposed to be like a special one so orange yes i believe that one that one is it so you guys can flip over the other two because i am totally going for this is a new orange finish from them that looks absolutely sickle though i gotta say i like the wood grain that orange is pretty pretty nice i would match my wood grain if i got wood grain on the laptop no wood sure i'd always want one okay so i don't know about you guys but i got my dbrand phone i got my chest strap done up oh you got the real stuff right here yeah you got the real stuff right right yeah me too bro so let's go no holds barred scrapyard wars no holds barred case bros wait actually i need my laptop where did my laptop go here it is okay uh i really have to pee let's go dude uh how do we get out of here okay all right so basically my plan right now is there we go okay totally thought the door was locked all right so the plan right now is to just get out of here so i think it looks way more legit if we're like not here so where are we going it's a great question uh let's not be here let's just drive a little ways and figure this out so okay potential problem number one i actually haven't even done any pre-thought i've been so busy that i haven't had any time to figure out how i'm gonna tackle this challenge potential problem number two there's three of us this time there's going to be craigslist crap that's listed two weeks ago that they get no calls about and they're gonna have three people calling them today so it is going to be a race against the clock to win scrapyard wars three which obviously means it's a great idea that i'm sitting here on a couch i should really get going so i'm gonna try to save some money by avoiding a case i'm gonna try to build everything onto like a cardboard box or something it's all about price to performance so if i spend like even half the budget i almost feel like we're gonna go over because i don't know i'm thinking like seven hundred dollars something like that you know of a cool spot around here like i know my hotels over here what's the cool spot like we could hang out um we're in langley so nowhere oh that is some wicked gas we're not in the car yet though so it's okay oh man oh wow that's like that is some outdoor grade gas one of my biggest concerns is that i think we're gonna be fighting for parts uh i think we're gonna be fighting for parts because i don't think there's actually that many for sale right now i'm wondering if it has something to do with the canadian dollar being in the tank at the moment oh my goodness is that mine they're just sitting on the ground it's my tip so one of our dastardly plans is to send responses from craigslist ad posters to those guys that they never actually messaged so we'll try and we'll try and get them off the trail get them confused so we're all gonna be on craigslist we're all gonna be trying to find the same deals or maybe not because the way that i see it there's actually a few different ways to tackle this we can try and get the cheapest possible computer that is at least capable of running the benchmarks and hope the other guys spend way more or we can go for like the traditional bang for the buck pc somewhere in the seven to eleven hundred dollar range and win the benchmarks and hope the other guys aren't able to get great value for the dollar i frankly don't know what the answer is right now yeah what if we try to do like a hundred dollar gaming pc build i don't know if it's necessarily going to be awesome but it's price for performance right so if this is as tenth as good as if they spend a thousand dollars then we actually win so this could work it's only ten dollars and it's even here this could work maybe okay so i just got a 220 offer on a r9 290. box of video cards oh we're we're calling this guy we're calling this guy that looks like an 8600 gts like if we can just taking up space on a shelf if we can get that for like two bucks or five bucks or something we might be in pretty good shape it's an option so i'm calling the guy with the r9 280 for 130 bucks i'm going to offer him 120 if he doesn't take it i'm still going to do it can you do 120 bucks awesome uh when do you want me to come pick it up yeah yeah but port moody's like a city like i need to know where okay so i got a r9 280 for 120 bucks i really wanted to get that 290 but i don't think the price per performance is worth it when the 290 would be over a hundred dollars or no basically exactly a hundred dollars more i don't know there's there's some funny math there because you have to calculate in the whole rest of the system as well but i think a 280 is going to be good and i think i need to move on to other things so i'll go with that if i'm learning anything from this is that people like to really overprice their old pc hardware like people likes are like oh my my six-year-old gaming pc is worth 800 it was worth 1200 five years ago like no dude it's worth like 300 get over yourself canadian used market in general is just because uh the turnover is so low yeah dude yeah i mean i'm just seeing tons of junk here and every once i see something cool like yeah okay so this is a g4 7900 for 50 i mean it's got s video on it it's not going to be worth 50 i don't care what you say wow a lot of this stuff is pretty brutal is that a 9 600 for 10 bucks though that's not bad let's save that in the numbers sheet the best thing to do this is going to be a disadvantage for austin in this whole competition because he hasn't done this before but the best thing to do is right in the first couple hours put out as many feelers as possible yeah you're right this does take a long time i also totally want to find like a pawn shop or something car oh dude that's a good idea that's a great idea yeah like the car just like runs out there's a q 9650 cpu i'm still potentially interested in that if i can get it for the right price i think we're gonna need a quad core to win uh that cinebench is gonna make a big difference i wonder how austin's doing at this point like new city like he doesn't even know where any of these sub regions are like he's gonna be like oh yale town that's probably pretty close okay i think we might have found something here a pair of 7950 graphics cards for 150 and that's both of them so basically one of them actually they were both used for bitcoin mining but i don't really care as long as it works for long enough where i can actually like benchmark that could work 150 where is this 13th avenue is that burnaby was that anywhere near burnaby newest do you have any idea where that is scrapyard wars will be right back after these messages this episode of scrapyard wars is brought to you by dbrand makers of the precision cut vinyl skins that you'll see on the phones and notebooks of our contestants they offer a wide variety of styles and colors and support for the coolest devices including the playstation 4 galaxy note 5 and iphone 6s protect the body of your devices and make them look great at dbrand.com scrapyard wars i'm trying to work on system so what i'm trying to find now i have a graphics card i'm probably not going to look for a case power supply i'm probably going to have to get on its own and so what i'm looking for right now is motherboard processor memory essentially and a hard drive i guess but i might try to sneak an ssd in there if i can i just don't know if it'll be worth it because most of our benchmarks are cpu or gpu 60 for an ssd that could be that could be all right maybe i think you might be able to get a new ssd or around that they probably wouldn't be that it's probably not that much cheaper but we also maybe try to get that guy down a little bit so this guy wants 60 bucks for a 120 gig ssd that is so not happening 60 dollars for price you can buy brand new 240 gigs for 98 dollars so i'll see if i can get him to be a little bit more realistic now you should know luke almost lost his money yeah i was just wondering if you were interested in selling parts of it at all yeah yeah that's a pretty good point um i was only interested in the motherboard processor ram and potentially power supply i call them up i'm like are you interested in selling just the parts and he's like oh yeah totally that was my first idea when i was gonna put on craigslist was i was just gonna part it out and he ends the phone call like well i'm okay with selling the parts if you buy all of them so so far i've got a graphics card that i'm picking up at three something that was a r9 280 for 120 bucks i don't know if that's like necessarily the best deal i could get but i wanted to move on to system because i did notice that a lot of my target processors they're kind of scarce right now i can't find very many of them so i had a whole bunch of graphics card options and was like okay i just want to get that out of the way i should have maybe done that later but whatever i'm really trying to find my platform right now and having a little bit of trouble with it ah dude i think this might be it 150 for 279 50s that's gonna kill it all right this is this is we totally need to go this way so now let's try to find some other parts and start calling that's totally the way to go dude that's that's it that's that those are our cards right there so for a lot of the components i'm just going to be kind of browsing what's out there and buying whatever but for the graphics card i think i have to shop a little bit smarter so i'm going to be using anantech's bench repository in order to compare graphics cards across generations and then from looking at it briefly i'm feeling pretty good about the approach of going with a tahiti based card so either a 280 or 280x or a 7950 or 7970 i think that's where we're gonna get the best bang for our buck so i'm gonna lowball this 280x and kind of go from there okay so this is how i write a craigslist email how's it going saw your listing for the pair of 7950s i plan on building a gaming pc and was wondering if you've made sure they can game i don't plan on mining but want to make sure both cards are fully working thanks because i've got to be polite i'm in canada so fire that off and hopefully we hear back okay i'm just being like a little hi i'm um contacting you about the 280x for sale are you firm on the price i don't think i can spend that much whenever someone contacts you like that whenever they open with that they're a loser well not like a loser but like getting a better price makes you a winner yo but uh being a little hey here's a good deal on an ssd let's see if this guy has a phone number 40 bucks call all right i'm gonna offer i'm gonna offer 30 for a 120 gig if i can get it i'm feeling really good about my storage drive who uses a home phone number i can't even text that so i'm gonna i'm gonna just oh man i'm gonna play every game in the book ssd on craigslist um i can come get it today if you can do 30 do you have anything else for sale i'm trying to build a budget gaming pc for a friend of mine who's moving away who could say no to someone trying to buy a present maybe next time it'll be like my six sister or something she broke her arm and she can't go out much so we're getting her gaming computer look you might be judging me here but i have a competition to win so yeah i did say no holds barred this is the guy with the lots of older computer stuff um come he says come take a look should we just should we just go check it out okay i've come across an interesting discovery there's a 7950 gx2 that's a dual gpu card the guy's asking 25 bucks if i can get that for like 10 or something i could be in really good shape no that's a directx 9 part okay i knew i knew when we were choosing the benchmarks that we should have gone with something older than far cry 4 but it looks like you have to run it on dx10 or dx11 hardware so right now i've switched from buying that that r9 280 to an r9 200 or 290 i haven't told the 280 guy yet because the 290 guy seems a little bit flaky so i think i'm gonna wait until i get a actual confirm from him so the next problem we have is just having to power these two 7950s so i started looking around there are not a lot of power supplies we might be able to find something used but just out of curiosity i looked on ncix it's gonna be like 97 to get like a corsair we might end up having to buy some new stuff because they're the options on craigslist are not as solid as i was hoping um and plus there a lot of these people think that stuff is worth way more than it actually is so we're super stressed on time right now um so much so that we're having delicious sushi because um you know we got this okay so i found something decent here so this guy has an older computer but he's willing to part it out so you get a cooler master case with a db rider for 20 bucks and there's a power supply a 500 watt power supply for 30 bucks that can work but i don't think that 7950s enough to power them what if we get two really cheap power supplies oh and like tape one of the top or something yeah dude that would be so cool so like we basically just like have like one 500 watt power supply in the system like we like tape another one to the top just to power the other graphics card i almost want to do that purely because of how ridiculous it would be it might not even save us any money but that would be awesome uh now we're gonna go try to hit up some local computer stores maybe try to find like some used cases uh we still need like a motherboard and memory um okay so i did not realize it's gonna be an apple specialist i mean we're here we might as well try yo you have the macbook right nice okay um so slight change of plans we just left the macbook at the restaurant no big deal but uh that was my bad so let's uh try to get back to there before uh this macbook is stolen i can't believe i just walked off that's neither of us saw that right next time on scrapyard wars luke's mom finally gets her revenge on linus austin's surprise visit from a friendly grizzly bear turns harry linus reveals the deep dark secret behind his obsession with sandalsso as you can see we got our million dollar plaque billion million subscriber plaque and then we got our multiple hundred thousand

find something used but just out of curiosity i looked on ncix it's gonna be like 97 to get like a corsair we might end up having to buy some new stuff because they're the options on craigslist are not as solid as i was hoping um and plus there a lot of these people think that stuff is worth way more than it actually is so we're super stressed on time right now um so much so that we're having delicious sushi because um you know we got this okay so i found something decent here so this guy has an older computer but he's willing to part it out so you get a cooler master case with a db rider for 20 bucks and there's a power supply a 500 watt power supply for 30 bucks that can work but i don't think that 7950s enough to power them what if we get two really cheap power supplies oh and like tape one of the top or something yeah dude that would be so cool so like we basically just like have like one 500 watt power supply in the system like we like tape another one to the top just to power the other graphics card i almost want to do that purely because of how ridiculous it would be it might not even save us any money but that would be awesome uh now we're gonna go try to hit up some local computer stores maybe try to find like some used cases uh we still need like a motherboard and memory um okay so i did not realize it's gonna be an apple specialist i mean we're here we might as well try yo you have the macbook right nice okay um so slight change of plans we just left the macbook at the restaurant no big deal but uh that was my bad so let's uh try to get back to there before uh this macbook is stolen i can't believe i just walked off that's neither of us saw that right next time on scrapyard wars luke's mom finally gets her revenge on linus austin's surprise visit from a
