Hi,i need a third 3090 and the french craiglist( leboncoin) is full of scam at the moment.Swiss one (anibis.ch) (i live just above geneva) offer 3090 above 1000 euros.Any idea where i could source one ? under 650 euros ?

On JD.com in China, there's a turbo version of the 3090 with a 5-year warranty, priced at $900 USD

Don't know how you're checking but this one on Anibis is 600.- and you can go pick it up (so it's likely not a scam): https://www.anibis.ch/de/vi/genf/andere/computer-zubehoer/komponenten-zubehoer/nvidia-rtx-3090-rog-strix/53688284

Ebay is common

Do you have any guarantee from ebay ? like if the gpu doesn't even boot ? can you ask ebay for a refund.I read their guarantee policy but it doesn't seem very clear.

Not sure
In my local area 3090s got cleared out by buyers so there are not local ones but this might not be the case for you so maybe local purchasing could be good for you.

facebook. meet in person, bring a computer to test the GPU.

Yup i tried that,worked before,now something changed.People ask you to come to a city (5h drive back and forth) but are not willing to give you an adresse.Then last minute give you a direction to somewhere super sketchy far away from the general location you previously talk about.

I bought 3 GPUs this way. I only buy from within a bike ride away. But you are right, there are tons of scammers out there.

What price do you think is reasonable for 3090 ? I bought 2x for 550 euros a year ago but now ads are more around 700 euros.

You're picking listings that are too cheap and they're scams. I see 4090 for $900 on a local classifieds aige from a user with 0 reputation - this is the kinda thing you should NOT engage with

I got 3 of my cards from Kijiji but I think they're 🇨🇦 only... check local classifieds in addition to local FB marketplace and there is almost always some 3090 sitting around
