Instructions on how to get a cheap GPU

As documented from recent experience.

  1. Find a jenk one on Ebay that has a random 80mm fan zip tied to the heatsink because the original fan burnt out.
  2. Wait for the listing to time out with no bidders beause the minimum bid was too high.
  3. Message the seller right after and ask if they’d consider a 25% lower price.
  4. Accept their offer of 20%.
  5. Buy it when they re-list with a buy it now.
  6. Keep the jenk 80mm fan as a momento of your victory.
