Catalogue snapshot: November 3, 2026
Buying a used graphics card is supposed to save money. In practice, the gap between a used card and a new one on eBay can be tiny, or even backwards. This page compares the cheapest listings by condition for three popular cards, using our catalogue snapshot.
About prices: Prices are eBay listing prices in US dollars from our catalogue snapshot dated November 3, 2026. Listings sell out and prices change, so the price on eBay is the one that counts. Item price only: shipping, sales tax and fees may apply.

We skip listings priced far below the model's normal range, since those are often mislabelled, partial or bait listings. The cheapest listing in each condition is shown, which is not the same as the best deal for you.
How to buy a used graphics card safely
- Ask for or look for photos that show the card and its serial number, not stock images.
- Prefer listings that describe how the card was tested, and that accept returns.
- Check the seller's feedback score and recent negative reviews.
- Avoid listings marked for parts, untested, or sold as-is.
- Compare the total price including shipping and sales tax, not just the item price.
- Check that your power supply and case suit the card before you buy.
