Instead of saying "scam", it more than likely stolen goods. They sell stupid cheap because there is no over head, and they still make 100% profit!

Then it'd make more sense to sell them at a slight knockdown price, not for like 10%-20% of their value...

But if your trying move merchandise as quickly as possible then stupid low prices would sell out in moments and you still make 100% profit and make up for it in volume. Granted thinking over it its probably a bit of both. I just want to know if people are actually going to get the product.

No offense, but what accounting/economics course did you take that ever hinted that this would be true? If something costs $100 per product, even to make and ship 10million, and you sell it for $30. You're making a loss no matter what. The only time you sell merchandise that low is if you're on the last day of operating as a business.

Ahh ok, that makes much more sense.

 

Thieves aren't the brightest bunch either, Amazon wouldn't be the best place to hawk these types of merchandise. Too bad that some peoples orders have been cancelled and refunded, but it's probably the best (unless of course they actually would've delivered the GPU's).

Draw more attention to yourself if you're selling at prices as ridiculous as this. The black Friday amazon lightning deals have shown that where popular tech products are concerned a 20% discount is enough to shift goods in volume.

All mine too,

 

Just got a few emails apologizing from Amazon.

 

Money is already back in my account.

I've been a Prime member for years and have never not had Amazon on my side in a dispute.

 

I honestly don't need them as I currently have 2 7970s in my system but... I had $100 to gamble so why not....

Worse case scenario I have to file a dispute to get my money back....

If it turns out to be true and they work will you sell me one for enough that you make a small profit? Say 50$?

99% this is a scam trick though :P

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)
