Sell or buy a used GPU, tested before anyone pays.
A used RTX card can be a great deal or an empty board under a real cooler, and nobody can tell at a curb. With BiNew, the seller brings the card to iPoint in Hackensack, NJ, we test it, and the buyer reads our report before paying the seller.
Selling your GPU on Facebook Marketplace
Buyers of high-end cards have read about gutted fakes, and many will not pay a stranger. Show your confidence in your card instead.
- A free iPoint line in your listing. It tells buyers someone other than you will test the card. It costs you nothing.
- Sell beyond local pickup. Facebook Marketplace will not ship anything listed over $500 (Meta Seller Protection Policy), so a used RTX 4080, 4090 or 5090 is local pickup only there. Through BiNew, a buyer in any US state can buy it.
- Paid before it leaves iPoint. Your card leaves iPoint only after you confirm the buyer's payment. A shipped Marketplace order starts paying out 5 days after delivery, up to 20 days from the day you mark it shipped (Meta Help).
- No platform fee off your price. Facebook takes 10% of a shipped order, and other marketplaces charge fees of their own. With BiNew the buyer pays for the inspection, and you keep the full price.
How used GPU deals go wrong
The gutted RTX 4090 and 5090
In April 2024 a gamer bought a used MSI RTX 4090 from an individual on Facebook Marketplace. Northwest Repair opened it and found the GPU core and memory gone (Wccftech). RTX 5090 cards have since turned up stripped the same way.
The fake RTX 4090 with a real cooler
A fake can pair a real cooler with an older RTX 3090 chip, re-engraved with the 4090 part number and with the memory chips re-marked too. Cheaper fakes are older cards with a flashed BIOS that report a newer name.
How to test a used GPU before you buy
Test the card in a working PC before you pay. A card you cannot power on is a gamble at any price.
Is it the card on the box?
- GPU-Z. Check the name, the chip code (an RTX 4090 is AD102, an RTX 5090 is GB202), memory (24 GB GDDR6X and 32 GB GDDR7) and BIOS version. GPU-Z has flagged known relabeled NVIDIA chips with a "[FAKE]" prefix since 2018 (BleepingComputer). That flag ends the deal.
- Serials. The sticker on the card should match the box and the receipt.
- Signs the cooler has been off. Scratched or missing screws, a torn warranty sticker. Weight is no test: gutted cards keep the real, heavy cooler.
Does it work under load?
- Stress test. Run 3DMark, FurMark or OCCT for 15 to 20 minutes. Temperatures and clocks should hold steady, with no colored dots, lines, flicker, black screen or driver reset.
- Fans and outputs. Every fan spins up without grinding or rattling, and every HDMI and DisplayPort output works.
How worn is it?
- The 12VHPWR connector. Look into the socket on the card and at the cable plug for browned or melted plastic and bent pins.
- Mining. Ask directly. No tool reads a card's mining history, and a dusty or spotless card proves nothing either way.
What the BiNew report covers for a graphics card
- Identity. The chip, memory and BIOS the card reports, against the model on the box, and the serial against the listing.
- Function under load. A stress test with temperatures, clocks and any artifacts or crashes.
- Outputs and fans. Every display output and every fan.
- Power connector. Photos of the socket, with any heat damage noted.
- Condition and contents. Photos of the board, cooler, screws and stickers, and the box contents.
The report describes the card on the day we inspect it, and the card stays with iPoint until handover.
How a BiNew GPU deal works
- Agree on the deal anywhere, even a forum or a Discord trade.
- The buyer requests BiNew and pays the inspection fee up front.
- The seller brings the card to iPoint by appointment. It stays with us.
- We inspect, test and photograph it and send the buyer a written report.
- The buyer pays the seller directly. iPoint never holds the buyer's money.
- Handover. Once the seller confirms the payment, we hand the card over or ship it to any US state, with optional shipping insurance. If the deal does not close within a week, the card goes back to the seller.
Drop-off in Hackensack, NJ
Sellers from North Jersey and New York City bring the card in by appointment. Buyers can be anywhere in the US. See the BiNew service area.
Ask the seller to bring:
- The card, and the original box if they have it

- Proof of purchase
