Those who are selling PSU's in other forums or in OLX RMA them and get sealed units and sell them at a higher price. This I have noticed.
Once I sold a Corsair H60 to a member in other forum, he said he got damaged unit regarding radiator and sent it to RMA and got a sealed unit. Then he sold it at a higher price than I sold to him.
And again some of them get computer components at throwaway prices like in auctions likewise, they sell in these forums for a very good prices.
I suggest you ask any one of them, they can get you a very good modular PSU for a good price.
PS: This is what I was telling Raabo to do for this forum as well. This forum is dying regarding the members present. I have many good memories regarding Digit since my College days I used to buy every month's copy of Digit & Skoar in my home town.

Don't you need original bill for RMA.
Also now days company don't just change product if you rma they will check and repair at last resort give a replacement
It depends on brand/service centre. Some will insist on original bill,some will just check from the serial number. Same is the case with replacement/repair,hdd brands(2 only anyway,wd & seagate) give refurbished hdd while psu are mostly replaced as it is not worth it to repair them.

Rightly said. So having Invoice at hand is always better because some will ask for it and some wont.
By used if you meant not repaired & it has original bill along with remaining warranty of at least a year & it costs less than 2k & it is not older than 2 years then you can consider it.

Is it ok to get Antec BP450p (around 2200) for my old system (P4 3GHZ, Gigabyte 81915, 2 X 1GB DDR, 2TB WD Blue & Asus PATA DVD Writer)?
Yes,even for basic level new systems like pentium g5400/athlon 200GE such psu like antec bp or corsair vs series are fine but prefer corsair VS as it gives 5 years warranty compared to antec's 3 years.

Which power supply will be the better one among these 2: Antec EAG pro 750W and Corsair TXM-750?
Both of them come with 7 years warranty and the antec model features two EPS cables and is a bit cheaper than the corsair one.
However,according to Tomshardware review,the EAG 750 has a high inrush current issue when its subjected to 230V input ,which seems problematic to me.It seems this could probably damage components in the long run.
So if had to get any one among them,which would be an overall better (and safer) choice?Please advice.
Also is Antec's after sales service good enough as compared to corsair's?

If you start caring about such small details in highly unlikely scenarios then you might as well drop the matter altogether considering this is India where people run 1070 card with VS450/550 for years without issues.
I know corsair after sales support is good judging from online comments.

Gear up ...
My choice would be Corsair TX 650M as Corsair has better reputation & TX650M is considered a good entry-level gold rated PSU. Most people don't need 750W, if you need, go for TX 750M.

My primary choice was the antec unit due to its lower price tag, but i am having concerns about its current inrush issue. Otherwise it seems ok for the most part.
Also i read somewhere that some power hungry gpus were causing these new EAG psus to shut down-was it really the case or just rumors?

Unless it is widely reported on reddit or acknowledged by some reputed tech forum review i say it is a rumor.

If someone buys a 1000w psu, then will he need to buy a ups with a capacity if 1 kva or higher? Or will a normal 600va ups suffice?
Will a higher watt psu draw more current only when needed or it may pull more watts arbitrarily, thus putting more load on the ups and increasing energy usage?

Never buy a psu of capacity much more than your actual need. @chimera201
