I'm considering buying one 2nd hand but unsure if the price of 400 euros is worth it with the possibility of needing to add those thermal pads.
 
Additional question: Are those pads still offered? While the cards seem to hold up pretty well the 1080s are somewhat old so I'm thinking it might be a passed thing.
 
Thanks in advance for any comments.

    If you can get a 1080 at a price you consider fair, thermal pads are easy to replace. I highly doubt that EVGA has the thermal pad kit available after all these years, but you can easily find replacement pads online if you need them. The pads may not even need to be replaced, depending on how he card was utilized by the original owner.
