Lets say the card was used at full throttle for 6 months.

How many hours a day is the card used for gaming vs a card being used for mining?Legit miners typically did 70-80% TDP and put relatively low stress compared to gaming/overclocking on the card.
No way man once it has been mined on it's damaged goods. You see there are many miners on this very forum who won't let you in on that fact just so they can sell their tainted cards unbeknownst to the next buyer. It's all a giant scam for them to make more money on their already ill-gotten gains from crypto. Only God can judge them and I hope they burn in hell!

You a mining hater?
What is your sample size for your opinions? Before we start arguing, consider that miners have very large quantities of GPU's to form reliability opinions from.
Do you?
Yup, I would depending on the price, condition (includes original box + receipt?), and their knowledge of mining/undervolting/maintenance of the cards.

Lol That's bullshit. Have you mined before? A smart miner keeps the card undervoted, is it used? Yes! Damaged goods, hell no! I have never lied if I sold the card if I mined on it. I guess every business is a scam by your definition. I have met nothing but good people in this forum. May be you should learn to deal with people with good Heat. You have a choice not to buy a card that is mined on. But calm down with those accusations. All you gotta make sure is the card has warranty. Obviously if a card is mined on for 2+ years one might want to think about it. If someone is selling from a big lot that's different too. Each situation is different. To look at everything from the same lens is not fair game.

You put too much faith in people.
Was that addressed to me? I am not sure what part of my comment was me hating on miners. Lol
Uh..... I quoted Spoonie not you
I've dealt with a couple mined cards. Unless I know them personally I wouldn't buy a mined card.
Would I be scared about it being too worn out - No
Would I rather let the miners eat shit for their mining activity - Yes
For me it's rather a political discussion that I don't want to support mining in any way, I'd prefer it to die out completely. It's just those things that brings out the greed in humans, we don't need the greed lvls raise higher than it already is.
PshhhNo. The chances of getting a card that has a substantially shorter life is too great. I don’t care how it was undervolted or what conditions it was run in. Mining cards are run under load for long periods of time and that’s reason enough for me to say no thanks.
Another interesting thing is generally these threads have two kinds of people posting in them. People who don’t want to buy mining cards, and people who mine and defend the value of their cards.
Pshhh
Way to one side it.
You forgot:
people who mine and aren’t afraid to buy cards that were mined on, and people who don’t mine who aren’t afraid to buy cards that were mined on. All four types are already represented in this thread by previous comments.
Here’s what you did —- but in reverse. Two kinds of people in this thread: Those who are smart and realize mining doesn’t hurt cards in any meaningful way and those who argue otherwise.
