I came across a used INNO3D RTX 5070 Ti GPU listed for €700 on my local marketplace. The catch is that the seller doesn't have a receipt, and I can't test the GPU since it hasn't been installed in a PC. Given these factors, should I risk having it delivered to me? The seller has an established account and is also selling his PC, plus there's a photo of the GPU's sticker available.

A brand new RTX 5070 Ti costs only €50-70 more in Germany. I wouldn’t take the chance on used when new is so affordable. You should definitely check online shops or local stores for better options, though.
Nah, skip it. You can't verify its condition, and it doesn't seem worth the risk. It's better to save a bit more and go for a new one.
Really? Can you share a link to a site with those prices? I checked here in Austria, and I found nothing under €860-880.
No way! It might be an okay deal, but the risk-to-reward ratio isn't in your favor here. You’d probably feel better getting something new with a warranty.
Honestly, I wouldn’t go for it. The lack of ability to test the GPU is a big red flag for me, even more than not having a receipt. You just can’t be sure if it works properly until you have it in hand, and that could lead to wasting your money.
