Scam. Seller has no feedback or sales

Thats guaranteed to be a scam. Amazon needs to get better at controlling this stuff.

They have some feedback: a single 1-star rating, so definitely a scam

shoot mb saw this from AMD's actual store and lost it

these are a bit of a n interesting scam. they create the listing, and because amazon will prioritize a third party seller over even their own internal seller if it is cheap enough, it becomes the main source. 
This way they have a team of people in the us going store to store asking to price match the amazon price. This works surprisingly well and the best part is you at home can do it too, it isnt illegal.

I do not believe amazon releases purchase funds to the seller for some amount of time. so their account usually gets smashed up first and the money gets returned to the buyers.

I wont do it but if I went to microcenter and asked them for price matching would they give me a 7950x3d for 240?

Nope. Has to be shipped AND sold by Amazon.

I’d be shocked if they honored this. It’s well outside of any normal sale.

maybe it does just sell stolen chips or smth

They ship it too so I doubt it would even be fulfilled (shipped). They’d probably pocket the money and Amazon would refund you. The only real looser here is Amazon I think, and any store silly enough to honor a price match.

Hi bro, it´s a scam, I tried to buy a Ryzen 7 7800x3D for 200$ (yeah, too good to be true) and my order was canceled several times, at least Amazon refunded my money, but don´t waste your time with that buyer, have a great day
