is this a scam? 5600 for 30 dollars

The webpage did not load for me, and secondly I never use Aliexpress for any products that are expected to do anything but sitting on my desk as a prop (have not done that either). I would suggest looking forward to buying it from eBay.

 

They go for around 100 dollars on eBay, but if you are lucky enough maybe you can take one at a lower price if it has an auction option.

Considering that the cheapest R5 5600 I can get around here is 110€, yes that's a scam. If it seems to good to be true, it almost always is.

No actual product's picture, no explanation if it's new or used, I would be glad if they're even giving an effort of sending a brick to my address if I ordered one

It's obviously way too good to be true, and I would gladly accept if they even send an actual Ryzen 5600 with bent pins

 

IMO, it would be better to just find at Facebook's used market store rather than sketchy Chinese market place that has no liability risk on their side

 

Here's I attach screenshot of the page in USD for reference

I bet it's a 2004 Sempron

if you are in doubt you are not in doubt. Don't buy if you even suspect something sketchy, unless you can trade in a safe manner - like meeting in public and you can verify the product before handing over the money. 

mITX is awesome! I regret nothing (apart from when picking parts or have to do maintainance *cough*cough*)

If you check that store's other products none of the prices make sense, so yeah that'd be a hard pass.
