I’ve been hoping to upgrade to a new PC for about 8 months now but can’t because I can’t get the parts I want.

People are buying high end gaming PCs, stripping out the GPU, and then selling the gpu-stripped desktop as “New (other)” on ebay.

Any thoughts on them? Here’s one I bid on earlier and came in 2nd:

My situation is I have an ancient 8 year old PC ready for replacement, plus the 1 year old GPU that’s amazingly worth $750 now.

If you search ebay for PC desktops that are both new and have “no gpu” you’ll find more than 100 like this. Some of them are PCs that cost $2000+ selling for $900.
