I found one locally for $623. Is it a good deal?

If you have this GPU and have tried running qwen3.5 27B on it, what's your average TG and PP? And what quant?

Please forgive my ignorance. I've been away from the hardware market for so long, and its in an absolute state of fuckery right now to build anything new.
