3080's on newegg red flags

Hi sooo my friend recommended me the used like new 3080's on newegg as they are all very good prices around $600 but im kinda nervous about choosing one as they may have been used for mining. Any tips on red flags and things to look out for? And what brands would be the best?

unless it's a 3080Ti, 600 isn't a good price for it you can get a 6950XT for around that price, the 7900 XT for 750-800 and (in case it has to be nvidia) the 4070 is also 600, even if it's slower than the 6950 XT

For sure Just be careful that you pick a good PSU, since it's the component that powers your whole system
