SCAM ALERT!: URGENT REGARDING EBAY GPU SALES

A public service message, just in case.

So in another thread, I mentioned that the only place that seemed to have the new 50-series graphics cards was Ebay.

Later in the day, a vague memory resurfaced from the days of the 40-series debacle, and I did some quick searching.

Did not take me long at all to find multiple examples of whut’ I was looking for:

Suspicious things about the offer below:

  • Price too low. Scalpers are asking up to 7K for these cards
  • Seller explicitly does not accept returns.
  • Unobtrusive admonition to read the card description

The card description: Read the disclaimer!!


CAVEAT EMPTOR!!

Some sellers have these disclaimers:

So, would a scalper bot go for a scam like this?
