I'm into flight simulation and found a used EVGA 1080 Ti on a flight sim forum from some guy who lives in Canada. We've exchanged a few PMs on the forum and an email. He's got a decent presence on the forums post-wise and seems to be a power user based on his specs and his experience with VR so his story about upgrading to a 2080 Ti seems perfectly plausible. He also said the card has never been used for mining and has never had any issues. There's really no reason for me not to believe him. That said, I want to be sure I'm not going to get hosed out of $400. I'd guess he's a little nervous too. He suggested PayPal 1/2 when the card ships and then I give him the balance on delivery. In this case, it may take me a week to test it after delivery so paying immediately on receipt doesn't thrill me.
I know people do this sort of used video card transaction all the time... What is the usual protocol? Any advice is welcomed and appreciated. Thanks.
