I would not buy one from eBAy used. You will never know just how much lifetime you have left after a 'miner' burned it 24/7/365.

And I thought the prices were a joke, but a AMD vega RX 64, was pricing between 1,100$ and 3,000$ 2/13/17

That depends on whether or not you can easily replace fans. Or if you are even going to use the fans (if watercooling GPUs, you don't care). Other than that, they were running 24/7, but usually focusing on efficiency (undervolted), many times without a case. This is usually better than "gaming" GPUs, which are overclocked and stuffed inside a case.
