The dream of many PC gamers for more than a year is to get an RTX 4090. The NVIDIA graphics card, the fastest and most powerful on the market today, continues to easily exceed 1,500 euros in value, which is why its acquisition is limited to the pockets of a few privileged people. However, if you are as lucky as the protagonist of this story, you can buy one for just 18 euros. Yes, you read it right.
You will make more money selling the parts
The reason behind this cheap purchase is poor packaging. As they noted in the auction information, the PC is in terrible condition after suffering serious damage during transportation. Therefore, the owner decided to auction it and finally received 18 euros in exchange for a computer with an RTX 4090 with a broken pin and a motherboard with a destroyed PCIe connector. And, in addition, we must add that the computer is soaked as a result of poor storage.
Thus, the author of the publication reveals that, unfortunately, “the PC was new and had never been turned on.” In this way, he assures that “everything works except the motherboard and the GPU”, which is why he understands that the price is so low since he has basically bought a computer that will not be able to boot. However, the condition of other components such as the processor or RAM will allow you to sell the equipment in pieces. And, with this action alone, he will be able to not only recover his 18 euros but also multiply the investment he made by 10 or 20 .
