The piece notes some anti-cheat engines issue permanent bans while others expire. The supplied text contains only page boilerplate, so there are no named anti-cheat vendors, hardware identifiers, dates, or prices to verify. Why: If you buy secondhand CPUs or GPUs from local marketplaces or forums to build a gaming or dev machine, a hardware-linked ban may already be attached and there is no pre-purchase check — so treat used silicon as carrying unknown account risk and clarify return/refund terms with the seller before paying.
