Built a gaming desktop for a friend almost 2 years ago; used GPU and CPU (maybe a few others things too), everything's going great. It helps that our local Cragslist offers efficient buyer protection.

Server-side, I also bought used Xeons for an old box and recertified 10TB Exos. No issues there neither.

The HDDs are a bit of a gamble, but for anything else I can only encourage you to buy used!

What does this mean?

When you buy something on Le Bon Coin, if it's not conform to the description or outright broken, you can very easily get a refund from the platform itself up to 3 days after reception, even if the seller disappeared. I think it encourages people to buy used stuff by removing the main drawback which is "it may not work properly anymore".
