How we filter
Every feed has its own filter, tuned by hand for this one part. Before any change goes live, those filters are tested against thousands of real eBay listing titles. Every night, each feed is checked against every other deal page in its category, so a listing for a different part that slips in gets flagged and fixed instead of quietly shown.
Of the 89 listings we observed for this game in the last 30 days, we filtered out 68 of 89 (~76%) for quality reasons. The remaining 21 are what we'd actually surface.
- 60 matched a bootleg / out-of-scope keyword
- 4 seller had too few feedback ratings
- 2 caught by a junk-listing guard
- 1 seller positive-feedback percentage too low
- 1 priced above the curated ceiling
What the feed excludes
An eBay search for Intel Core i5-12600K returns far more than the part itself: laptop chips, mining rigs, coolers, empty boxes and whole PCs all mention it in their titles. These are the 65 terms we filter out to keep this feed to the real thing. A listing whose title contains any of them never reaches the feed, the price table or an alert. Many look unrelated to Intel Core i5-12600K because they are: that's the noise.

i5-12600K: buyer & reseller spec sheet
Identity. The Core i5-12600K is a 12th-generation (Alder Lake) desktop processor for the LGA1700 socket, with a mix of performance and efficiency cores and integrated graphics. Confirm it from the model printed on the chip or the retail box label in the photos, not the title.
The KF sibling. The 12600KF is the same chip with the integrated graphics disabled, and it usually sells for less. A buyer who needs video output from the CPU should not mistake one for the other. This feed excludes KF listings. Listings that spell the name with a space ("12600 K") are also dropped, so a few honest copies fall out.
Other generations. Older and newer i5 "K" chips (the 11600K, 13600K) share most of the name and show up in search results. They use different sockets or generations, so check the full model number before you buy.
Whole PCs and boards. Many raw results were prebuilt desktops, workstations and motherboard bundles that name this CPU in the title. The feed drops them by title wording and a price ceiling. A few sellers also list motherboards or CPU coolers that only say they support this chip.
Imports. A large share of the bare-chip listings came from sellers outside the US, often at higher asking prices, so this feed shows US-located sellers only.
Buying a used processor: what to check
These checks apply to every processor on our CPU pages. The item notes above cover what is specific to this model.
Used
- Ask for a clear, close photo of the pins or contact pads, wherever the socket keeps them. Bent pins are the most common failure.
- Confirm the model printed on the heat spreader matches the listing, and ask for a screenshot of the chip identified in the OS or BIOS.
- Ask whether it was overclocked or delidded. Neither is a dealbreaker, but both should be disclosed.
Refurbished
- Find out who tested it and what the return window is.
New
- Check whether it is a boxed retail chip or a tray chip. Tray chips usually ship without a cooler and with a different warranty.
