Key Points

The article warns that eBay listings for “NVIDIA Spark DGX” machines priced below about US$2,000 are 100% scams.
The scams are reportedly identifiable through identical photo sets across multiple listings, seller accounts that are newly created, and suspicious shipping origins from continental Europe.
The sellers also allegedly offer other high-end hardware (e.g., “5090s” for around US$1.5k) and use bizarre or inconsistent items in some cases, reinforcing that the offers are fraudulent.
It advises buyers—especially newcomers to deep learning who might expect a bargain—to avoid any DGX Spark “open box” or “lightly used” offers near the ~$2k price point.
The post emphasizes that the deal may look tempting compared to the cost of a comparable “5090,” but buyers should not be misled by the apparent savings.

I've found a bunch of listings on eBay, for NVidia Spark DGX machines going for crazy low prices (under US$2K).

These are 100% scams. Several listings have identical photosets but from different (and brand new) accounts, and they all ship from continental Europe. The sellers also have 5090s for ~$1.5k, and one account strangely had black balaclavas for sale (I nearly fell off my chair laughing, it's almost too comical to not be some elaborate prank).

I know most folks "in the know" about this kind of hardware would probably spot it, but for anyone who's just getting into DL, has saved up a bunch of cash for a new 5090 and suddenly sees an AI powerhouse on eBay for half the cost of a 5090, it might seem like an awesome catch.

Please don't fall for it.

If you see the DGX Spark on eBay ("open box", "lightly used") etc around the US$2k price point, do not fall for it.
