Word of caution: these used GPUs will have spent a lot of time doing AI bullshit with as little downtime as possible. Make sure you get a good enough deal for the risk that it just dies in 2 months.
Computer hardware isn’t like a cars engine, it doesn’t get knackered after a 100,000 miles.
If the hardware has been working for the last ten years, there’s every chance it will go another ten years. Hardware is at much more risk of becoming outdated/obsolete than it is of becoming faulty/broken.

As little downtime as possible is actually better than having more downtime, as the major problems come from heating/cooling cycles
