Condition grading guide
Sellers report condition facts; GPU Circle moderation assigns the final A–D grade from the proof package. Every grade must pass the same safety and FurMark evidence gates. A grade alone does not specify a temperature limit or guarantee a particular operating temperature.
How to compare temperatures
Check the listing’s reviewed test report for the exact GPU model, measured temperatures, test duration and disclosed cooling changes. Room temperature, workload and cooler design affect the result; GPU core, hotspot and memory readings are different measurements. Ask the seller in the listing conversation if the test conditions or a reading are missing.
Like New
Looks and behaves as new. Original packaging and accessories present. No repaste, no pad swap, no cooler change.

Fair
Scratches, scuffs, a slightly bent bracket or noisy fan. Everything must be photographed and described. Still fully functional.

Heavily Worn
Heavily worn but fully functional and safe. Maintenance may be recommended and every issue must be disclosed. Grade D never means broken, failed, artifacting, liquid-damaged, or for parts.
- Wear

- Temperatures
- Safe, passing range

Free direct agreement
Buyer and seller confirm the same GPU price. The seller owes a 5% platform fee; verified contact details stay private until the server confirms that fee is paid.
The GPU purchase price, testing and handover are separate. Local inspection and pickup are recommended, not mandatory. This agreement does not hold the GPU purchase price or guarantee shipping, delivery or an inspection deadline.
The agreement screen shows whether fee payment and phone verification are available. Unavailable services stay closed; a local test simulation is not real payment or phone verification. Existing full-price orders keep their recorded terms.
If a card is misgraded
If the card differs from its listing, do not complete the handover without resolving the discrepancy. Report misleading evidence to support. A seller-fee agreement does not provide an automatic GPU-price refund or inspection-window guarantee.
