    Told my buddy about these when I seen it but he hesitated and missed out! It's still on sale as of now but not as nice of a deal. I've used B-stock multiple times and have never once received anything that didnt work as intended. Nice video!

      Early last month I saw all the affordable B-Stock RTX 3070s sell out, but a couple weeks later they were back and I jumped on this one. If your friend waits and keeps an eye on the B-Stock list every day, I think he has a really good chance of finding a deal. Thank you for watching my video!

    Finally, the video I was looking for. I'm only worried that the GPU will break after a year lol. If the price was discounted (-$300), I would buy it and play high-rank eSports...

      I'm glad this video was helpful! Hopefully this card will last me more than a year. I guess I will save my money in the meantime so I am ready to buy a new one if this one fails a year from now. But so far it's great!

    I got a b stock ftw3 3080 ti. Not really b stock thought because I got it from a local retailer and it’s a gpu that was returned after 2 days of use. Still had some of the plastic wrappers and got it for 863€ here in Germany which is an amazing price. Even comes with 2 years of warranty so can’t complain.

      I'm glad you were able to get such a BEAST of a card! I think I would have to upgrade my whole system to take advantage of anything higher than a 3070. Congrats!

    evga 3070 are way overpriced but this sounds like a great deal. Does anyone else do "B Stock?" Never heard of this outside of Best Buy returns/refurbished pc stuff.

    • @UnboxerofWorlds
      @UnboxerofWorlds  Рік тому

      I don't know, but I wish everyone did this! No joke, I checked EVGA B-Stock the other night and they had a 3070 down to $410! And if you search Google for an EVGA associates code, it will knock the price down a little further!

    No slight to you, sir, but EVGA have lost the plot. They want $550 for these used cards on their B Stock right now. No thanks. Got a brand new Zotac 3070 for $430 just a week ago. And then their "EVGA Z15 RGB Gaming Keyboard" is on there, USED, for $70, but it's NEW on Amazon for $45. LOL. Then they have a two generation old, USED, "EVGA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti XC HYBRID GAMING" for, get this, $1300!!!! Can't make this crap up. I just bought a brand new Zotac 3080 Ti Trinity OC a month ago for less than $900. Then, look at this next card on their list, an EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti for $1400, more than current gen for a used card. They're selling these old, used GPU's for more than you'd pay for a 4080 new. So, yeah, if you want to get ripped off, go to EVGA's B stock list. They've lost their ever loving minds over there.

      The prices seem to fluctuate on their B-Stock list. I saw those $500 3070s, but in the same week I saw one on there for $410. I guess it's about waiting for the right deal. As far as their keyboards go, they do deals often , sometimes in conjunction with Antonline. Around Memorial Day last year, I got a new Z12 keyboard, an MSI Gaming Backpack, and three months of Game Pass for PC for just $20 total, which is pretty insane. So I guess it can be a waiting game for those deals. In any event, how do you like that Zotac card? I kept an eye on them through Black Friday but I never saw them drop below $530, so you found an incredible deal!
