EU Intel E5 2673 v3's

[gb00s]

As I learned from @BlueFox today, these CPU's were 'SKU developed specifically for Microsoft for use in their Azure platform'.

I found these on eBay >> Intel Xeon E5-2673v3 SR1Y3 · 2011-3 · 2.4 GHz · 12 cores · CM8064401610200 | eBay .

I see others from China at the same price but without shipping and customs fees etc. We from EU know the pain. They are coming from Netherlands and customs do not apply in EU. I got several of them for almost 100EUR excl shipping. The sent offer was immediately accepted. In my opinion, for a 12core CPU this age not bad. If the majority has a different opinion, I delete this thread immediately.

Bought from that seller before, no issues whatsoever

Thanks. Good to know

There is also this option for the same processor, quite similar price, in Europe but not EU

Just FYI not sure you're supposed to post links using referral shorten-ers on here. Links auto-format with a header so no need to actually use link shorten-ers.

 

[gb00s]

Ok, thank you. I'm new here and not familiar with auto-formation of links. Good to know.

Be careful. Seller cancels sale without reason, notice and any message. No contact. Nothing.

Weird, they are an established company and usually pretty good with communication:/

 

[gb00s]

His valuation with 97.x% is pretty low and some people as well wrote he’s not communicating well if any. Ok, no problem.

 

[Rand__]

Hm, can't say I ever had issues, but maybe I was lucky. Sorry.

 

[gb00s]

No problem, he wrote me just now and arguing that he's completely out of stock. His auction is still available with still more then 10 available. He may realized he sold to cheap to me and just canceled while I already had paid. Maybe others bid for more after me. Not the nice kind of thing, but .....

Lets finish here ... Done with him.


EDIT: Now as I wrote here, the auction is cancelled. He must be 'watching' this

 

[Sable]

Why would they argue with you? Isn't that risky on eBay?

the 2nd link is even cheaper. This is not a bad cpu. multicore is almost as fast as ryzen 7 3700x for less than half the retail price of ryzen. single core is slower but not that slow.
