    I bought a 14 inch MBP M1pro for 1550$ at 26 cycle count with 16GBs of RAM and 500GB storage, a new one would've cost me about 2400$ if not more.
    I also got my 2060S, i5-9600k, 256GB nvme, 1TB HDD, 16GBs of RAM with the mouse, keyboard and mousepad and 144hz monitor all for 900$.
    P.S: both computers were used for about 4-6 months each and extremely clean like new.

      Actually the 3050 have kinda the same performance than 1660 oc.
      The only difference is that 3050 has DLSS and ray tracing cores
      But the raw performance is nearly 5% different, according by techpowerup.
      I think you compared their perfomance with the 3050 with dlss on
      You should compare them without any AI on 3050

    I took a risk on a seller with 0 reviews selling a used Rx580 8gb for a bargain 5 years ago and the card that arrived was basically brand new and i still use it to this day.
