XFX AMD Radeon RX 5700 DD 8GB - $75

I picked this up off Craigslist. The seller had it listed for $100 and I offered $75, which he accepted. The transaction went well and then I did the not-smart thing of not testing it and letting it sit for 2 months before pulling it out to use in a build. Lo and behold, it powered on but didn’t display. Using a backup GPU, I could verify that it showed up as Microsoft Basic Display Adapter in Windows. When I tried flashing it with AMDVBFlash, it was detected as a Navi10 but Test was Fail, and force flashing was unsuccessful. My current hypothesis is that the vBIOS is bad and I’ll need to hardware flash it.

2x Cooler Master Elite 301 Micro-ATX High Airflow PC Case - $88

These have popped up on Woot a few times in the past 6 months. The first time it sold out while I was still debating purchasing so when the deal came back I purchased 2. The most compelling part of the deal are the 3x included ARGB fans. I figured that if I normally try to get used cases for ~$20 and a set of new ARGB fans for ~$15, paying $44 for new, delivered to my door would be worth it.

Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 - $13

I picked this up on eBay for the retro build. I figured it was a small price to pay for upgrading to a quad core and that it might help Windows 10 feel a little smoother.

MSI GeForce RTX 2060 GAMING Z 6G - $75

I came across this listing for $100 on Facebook Marketplace. After a few weeks of it sitting around, I messaged with an offer of $75 and the seller accepted.

Ryzen 5 3600 - $40

This popped up on OfferUp and was basically an instant-offer from me.

Gaming PC - $150

This was an OfferUp listing that was originally priced at $200. I waited a few weeks before offering $150, which the seller accepted. These were the parts included:

My plan was to take out the GTX 1080 to replace the non-functioning RX 5700 and throw in a GTX 1070 and flip this as a budget build.

HyperX Fury 16GB RAM (2x8GB) 3200MHz - $20

Originally listed on OfferUp for $25. My offer for $20 was accepted.

MSI GeForce RTX 2060 VENTUS GP OC + EVGA 650GM 650W SFX - $110

This was a Craigslist listing for multiple items. I was interested in the GPU and PSU and made an offer for $110, which the seller accepted. When we exchanged #s for coordinating the meetup, I discovered I had purchased from him before on 2 prior occasions.

EVGA 550 B5 PSU - $20

Yet another OfferUp listing for $25. My offer for $20 was accepted. This was brand-new open box, which was nice.

MSI Radeon RX 6650 XT MECH 2X 8G OC - $100

This popped up on Facebook Marketplace for $110. I offered $100 and the seller accepted. This was a great price for RTX 4060 level performance.
