Those CPU's are usually sent to review sites...

would you take a chance on purchasing one? and if so what would you expect the value of that cpu is vs buying new one out of the box

They're the same pretty much as a retail chip. I wouldn't see why you wouldn't buy one.

most of the time they're pretty good quality chips, almost all overclock high. They're sent to reviewers/overclockers.
