I'd buy it if I was in the US, unfortunately I'm not.

 

Someone in the US should really buy it and see if it's real or not lol.

It has some OPP issues IIRC, but I wont be using them for anything particularly intensive, probably just powering my HTPC and my LAN box, maybe have 2 around as bench units

Still, even if it's not legit, $30 for 4 PSUs is worth the risk. Besides, $30

It depends on your country. In the UK $8.44 will be low enough that you don't need to pay import taxes.

I'm considering buying this but I don't want to risk it being a scam. Even $8.44 is too much for me to lose.

I also found this: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIAF4H6KG4049

I'm pretty sure it's a scam. I doubt any legitimate company would price that sort of product at $8.44, even if it was a massive error.

International shipping is available for me. What country are you in? If you're in Europe they'll probably ship to you too.

I'm pretty sure it is a scam. They have an EVGA P2 1000 for $8.44 as well, which makes me think that it really is a scam.

Oh, okay. Yeah, probably right actually. Will edit title to clarify

[Tristerin]

Its not that its a scam, its likely listed incorrectly (Ive lost some GTX 1070s to this on Newegg it wont ship and you will get a refund) but for me, Ill chance the 8 bucks tied up for 5 days after it refunds (Newegg will take care of it) just incase...Parts pile could use it at this price lol.
