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 124 listings we observed for this game in the last 30 days, we filtered out 108 of 124 (~87%) for quality reasons. The remaining 16 are what we'd actually surface.
- 84 matched a bootleg / out-of-scope keyword
- 8 seller had too few feedback ratings
- 5 priced above the curated ceiling
- 4 caught by a junk-listing guard
- 3 shipped from a region we exclude
- 2 wrong condition (e.g. parts-only)
- 1 seller positive-feedback percentage too low
- 1 priced below our floor (too good to be true)
What the feed excludes
An eBay search for Intel Core i9-12900K 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 63 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 i9-12900K because they are: that's the noise.

Core i9-12900K: buyer & reseller spec sheet
Exact SKU identity. The 12900K is a 16-core, 24-thread desktop processor for the LGA1700 socket, with integrated graphics. Its name nests inside the 12900KF (no integrated graphics) and the 12900KS (a higher-clocked special edition), which are different purchases. This feed excludes both by title, but confirm the exact model on the chip's heat spreader in the photos, not only in the title.
Variants & value impact. Retail boxed (BX-prefixed) and OEM tray (CM-prefixed) part numbers both show up. Tray chips usually ship without a cooler or retail packaging, and the original box is one source of the asking-price spread within Used. Open box listings are counted with New on this page, so read the description to see whether the chip was ever installed.
Listing traps. Engineering and qualification samples ("ES", "QS") are sold under the same name and are not retail chips; the feed drops them by title, and they typically carry odd clock speeds in the listing. Whole PCs, workstation towers and CPU-plus-motherboard bundles list under this CPU's name as the headline part, as do empty presentation boxes and collector clamshell cases. They are excluded by title wording and the price ceiling. Ask for sharp photos of the pins-side contacts and the top of the chip, and confirm your motherboard's BIOS supports it.
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.
