I only have my one anecdote to go off of, but if you are located in the US eBay is full of computer reseller postings and mine arrived in very clean condition. And eBay generally has pretty strong buyer protections.
Comment on Help me choose hardware for my first custom setup
roydbt@lemm.ee 5 weeks agoI haven’t bought any hardware yet, this is just what I am currently planning to purchase.
I’m kinda cautious about purchasing second-hand stuff from the internet, especially stuff like that. Any tips on how to approach that?

I picked myself up a Asus NUC 13th gen I7, chose Proxmox as the OS and have about 35 services running via Docker Compose.
Everything runs beautifully.
