Just curious, what parts of a build would you be comfortable ordering off Ebay, and which parts wouldn't you be comfortable ordering off Ebay (justification always preferable)
I would pay any price but first I would check the sellers profile and see if they are trust worthy and have got good comments. Also if the price is $100 off retail I would not believe it.
I'm not talking about price neccessarily, although I am implying cheaper prices, I mean what parts of a build. for example I would potentially buy a processor or case from Ebay, but would be unlikely to purchase a motherboard
Id probably buy things like monitors, cases, and hard drives on ebay (you never know what you find on a hard drive lol). Most other things I wouldn't bother because you can't RMA it. Hard drives still have value even when dead as the scrap value, if bought cheap enough, is normally greater than what someone would think.
