Warranty and consumer rights
A card bought from a business must be of acceptable quality, which the ACCC describes as safe, durable and free from defects, and the Australian Consumer Law guarantees cannot be excluded by the seller. A manufacturer such as ASUS guarantees its cards against defects in materials or workmanship under normal use for a set period, so ask which period applies to the model you choose. A written warranty from a seller must contain the mandatory consumer guarantee wording, so a warranty document without it is not a complete one. Keep the invoice, because a warranty claim usually needs the purchase date.
Summer heat and the buying season
November comes before the Christmas sales period, when prices can move quickly, so compare several offers before you pay. Summer from December to February brings heat that affects PC cooling, particularly in Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide. Plan airflow in the case before you install a hotter card, and check the power supply before you buy a high-end model. Winter from June to August is a quieter time for buying, so a card bought in late autumn or early winter can be delivered before the summer gaming season.
What to write in your request
Name the model if you have one, for example RTX 3060 or RX 9060 XT, or describe the purpose: 1080p gaming, 1440p or 4K, video editing or AI work. State the video memory you need in GB, whether the card should be new or used, and the warranty length you want. Give the card's maximum length in millimetres and your power supply in watts, so the seller can confirm it fits your case. Set a budget in A$ and name your delivery city.
Describe the card in one message on the BlaBlaPrice home page. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice receive the request and reply in the chat with their own offer, price and delivery terms, and your contacts stay hidden until you choose to exchange them.
