I found an RTX 3070 Ti for $225 on Craigslist and spoke to the seller who agreed on that price. I'm wondering if this is a good deal or if I should look for something better in a similar price range. I'm both a gamer and involved in content creation. I mostly play games like Assassin's Creed Odyssey and Call of Duty, and I use software like Adobe Premiere Pro and Topaz Video AI for content creation. There's also an RTX 6800 available for $300, but that's beyond my budget, as I was hoping to spend around $200. What do you all think?

If you're playing at 1080p or 1440p, that's a pretty solid deal, provided the card is in good condition! I've been using my 3070 for a while now at 1440p, and it still performs well with DLSS on 'balanced'.
Seems like a fair price. You can usually find these cards listed for about $280-$300 in the U.S. on other platforms.
Seems like a decent deal! New ones are going for around $380 right now, especially with Black Friday sales.
I was actually looking at a 3060 for about $300 on Amazon during Black Friday, but then I found this 3070 Ti on Craigslist for $250! I tried to negotiate, and he settled at $225.
It’s hard to say definitively, but if you can find a 3080 for around $250 to $300, that would be a better option in the long run. Ideally, you want a 3080 Ti for under $350 if possible.
I’d pass on it. It’s an older card, and $225 isn’t a steal. If you can, save a bit more for a newer model.
$225 is a good price! The 3070 Ti can handle just about any game you throw at it these days.
Thanks for the insight!
