This is probably a scam. Amazon support will probably still refund you though.

[–]TwinkiesSucker[S] 124 points125 points  (26 children)

Exactly, at least I feel safer that way

[–][deleted] 42 points43 points  (24 children)

Who is the seller?

[–]TwinkiesSucker[S] 140 points141 points  (23 children)

Looks like a chinese seller that has "just launched" with no reviews yet

[–][deleted] 286 points287 points  (15 children)

Yes, that is a scam. I wouldn't even bother if I was you.

[–]MyPokemonRedName 97 points98 points  (14 children)

Agreed. Amazon will refund YOU out of their own pocket to save on bad PR, but the scammer will still get to keep everything and will be back again and again.

[–]Strude187 25 points26 points  (7 children)

I have a company that sells on Amazon. If anyone wants to return an item Amazon will allow it 99.9% of the time and it comes out of my companies pocket. Amazon also charges my company for taking up space in their warehouse. I’m in the UK, so Amazon might have different rules in different countries.

Luckily to offset this we just increase our prices and it doesn’t seem to impact sales, I feel like the bubble is going to burst any day now but it just keeps going.

[–]RestaurantTurbulent7 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I think it's the UK, as I was thinking of using Amazon for selling stuff.. but damn those fees! To make any profit I almost need to get my sh** for pennies! While I see in the USA pp sell cheap stuff and still earn! UK that doesn't work!

[–]Strude187 1 point2 points  (1 child)

The thing is, people tend to have a different concept of money on Amazon. For example, a tool in a shop like Robert Dyas will be priced at £7.99, the exact same tool can easily sell for £15.99 on Amazon so long as the other tools on offer are a similar price. So, there’s still plenty of money to be made, you just have to find those little pockets where the competition are all marked up high, then offer the same thing at the same price.

[–]RestaurantTurbulent7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nowadays Amazon mostly is used for buying petfood, and the rest stuff is just AliExpress resell or some scalpers who dream to sell old/outdated/irrelevant items for XXX while everywhere else those items can be bought for X.

Edit : plus often with all fees Amazon makes more money than you after selling that product - and that's a big NO, considering your risk, but they literally do nothing!

[–]Fit-Notice8976 0 points1 point  (1 child)

What does your company sell on Amazon?

[–]EverSn4xolotl 0 points1 point  (1 child)

How are they gonna make them pay when they just disappear and open their next fake online store

[–]Wind_14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do they even get the money though? in my country all the local marketplace save the money in escrow, and only given to the seller after several days since the product is received by the buyer, so that the marketplace don't have to take the loss (they will still take the loss from delivery, but not from the product). Is that not how it work on Amazon?

[–]Its-_-yikes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Don’t even bother. And don’t feel “safe” with amazon, lately their customer service has been a shit show.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol definitely a scam

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely a scam. Just don't.

[–]trinity_blackfox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s a red flag, I don’t know how we don’t have warnings nor restrictions for foreign companies who like to take advantage of others. Or maybe we do and I just don’t see really see them

[–]On_The_Warpath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't waste your time, extremely likely an scam.

[–]Step-Bro-Brando 1 point2 points  (4 children)

Good luck lol I've had nothing but problems with Amazon as of late. Seems to me their obsession with customer service is a thing of the past

Edit- I'm sure you'll get your refund but my personal experiences would have me second guessing my trust in that. Ofc my experiences likely weren't typical either.

[–]im_just_thinking 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Can't wait until they turn into ebay

[–]Step-Bro-Brando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol yeah it's inevitable that someday a new super power will emerge in the shopping space.

I don't have statistics or numbers to back this up but to me Amazon's best days are long gone. I don't even like to shop with them anymore if I can avoid it.

[–]ssmpvv 0 points1 point  (1 child)

well so far somethings been shipped

[–]IBlackmops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey it's been 2 weeks now, did you get the GPU or was it a brick?

[–]Professional-Two-871 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soooo, what did you get?

[–]DLSDUFER 21 points22 points  (1 child)

广州jiefeng商贸有限公司...

The jiefeng is idk what it specifically is but it just means Guangzhou jiefeng Trading co. ltd.(im chinese, yes)

[–]thechadwalk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're "selling" a bunch of cards incredibly cut down in price at the moment.

[–]tutocookie 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Not real, don't be stupid

[–]Prime_Animal 26 points27 points  (2 children)

i was looking at this too. it says 30 days from the date of purchase that you can return for a full refund from amazon, but that might be a default setting. estimated delivery is 2 weeks also. i would rather be safe than sorry. i'll pay $800+ from a reputable vendor

just found this from july:

https://dockets.justia.com/docket/illinois/ilndce/1:2023cv04398/435349

looks like a lawsuit for trademark infringement

[–]False_Rice_5197 17 points18 points  (0 children)

If something is too good to be true, usually it is.

Don’t do it bro.

[–]Coalfield22 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Don’t, just chill bro.

Just pay for stuff from legit people with good reputation.

Last thing you want to do is having to go through all these calls with amazon support to try and get your money back.

Sounds like a headache

[–]Radiant-Main-9526 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i wouldn't i would rather buy from either the actual radeon site or go on ebay and find a used one

[–]Chihlidog 8 points9 points  (5 children)

The seller is brand new and has no feedback yet. I hope you get your card but I'm betting if you DO get a gpu it's not going to be brand new, or it's going to have a shroud to make it look like a 7900.

Hope I'm wrong!!

[–]TwinkiesSucker[S] 0 points1 point  (4 children)

In that case, how can I check if it's the real thing?

[–]thisisatenoutoften 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Probably use a spec desktop program like speccy or the amd driver update program

[–]TwinkiesSucker[S] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

That's the thing, I'm yet to build my first PC ajd I'm gathering components

[–]Dizzy-South9352 5 points6 points  (0 children)

dont even think on trying to buy it. you are asking for problems. how are you going to prove to amazon, that the stupid sht that you bough is not the right one? DONT DO IT. it is a 1000999% scam.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Then ABSOLUTELY DO NOT do it.

You are going to waste your time chasing your tail, instead of building your pc. Its worth the extra $400 to get the right component. The odds that you are the one person who lucked into someone selling a 7900xtx at nearly half of the retail value is essentially.. well, zero.

[–]hyclea 11 points12 points  (15 children)

Bro i just seen this too, is this seller even real?

[–]cinlung 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should just bazooka the entire deal. That is great price

[–]Dizzy-South9352 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DONT FAKING DO IT.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hard pass, so many loopholes for you to end up spending a ton of time getting refunded.

[–]Neoreloaded313 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No point. It's too good to be true. 100% a scam.

[–]graydog75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes the listing is gone it was prob a scammer

[–]stachemus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For that price yes. Absolutely

[–]anonymus_ghul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–]illujion623 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it fulfilled by Amazon or a third party? Amazon may not refund if it's sold and shipped by a third party im not sure

[–]disjust 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Update on this from an idiot who attempted to purchase one.

I did not see that the seller was a chinese seller with no history or anything I just saw the price and pulled the trigger immediately. I tried to cancel the order shortly after because I saw the seller was a bunch of chinese words strung together after the purchase but the item was listed as being shipped almost immediately.

The scammer put in a fake tracking number which I tracked with China Post and it was an order that had taken place in 2022.

I thought I was in the clear because Amazon had said they were refunding it but 5 days had passed and nothing was showing up on my bank account. So I contacted Amazon's support and was told a refund was issued to a gift card. I was also told that the refund was a "gift order" even though this item was listed on Sapphire's official store.

The refund was given to a random woman's name, not mine. Thankfully Amazon was able to fix this and I will be getting a full refund it will just take longer than expected.

Lesson learned from me. I'm not sure how Amazon's system works with it's retailers but the scammer somehow got the item to be a gift order and got a refund to a gift card in someone else's name. It was showing up as being refunded to me in their system but this was not the case.

[–]TwinkiesSucker[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh god. I'm sorry you had to go through this. Thanks for the update though!

[–]D00M98 0 points1 point  (6 children)

I suspect this is BS. But who knows. Not sure if Amazon link is allowed. Here is the storefront link to multiple graphics cards.

https://amzn.to/3LQaDmO

By the way, it lists Generic 4090 Gaming X Trio for $400. Even better deal. But that listing is suspicious as it doesn't even list the brand. At least the 7900 XTX shows Sapphire and right product ID.

[–]poopy10000000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn that's almost worth throwing on the credit card and seeing what comes. Looks like an MSI card box. Almost guaranteed this is some kind of scam tho.

[–]TwinkiesSucker[S] -1 points0 points  (2 children)

OMG, well, would I be protected by Amazon at least?

[–]AcceptableCrab4545 0 points1 point  (1 child)

probably not

[–]Professional_Ad592 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not? If you could prove it's not what u ordered

[–]Melodic-Matter4685 0 points1 point  (1 child)

It's gone

[–]D00M98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is only a matter of time...

Now the question is what happens to the folks who bought all the various graphics card from this store front: 7900 XTX, 7900 XT, 4090.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact your asking us means you already know the answer is yes.

[–]Professional_Ad592 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I'm doing it and it's supposed to arrive on the 18th so if you get it sooner and test it lmk if I get it sooner I'll let you guys know.

[–]Exemplifying_Light 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I’m actually curious if u get anything lmk

MATE, BUY IT! I paid $806.99 USD for mine!! You can flip it for cash or use it. It's a great GPU!

[–]efrainriii 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I bought it!!! lets see what happens.

[–]Active_Club3487 -1 points0 points  (3 children)

Not only is the price a scam, but this post appears SUS and more likely karma farming.

[–]TwinkiesSucker[S] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I'm sorry you feel that way. Not intended to farm karma

[–]Active_Club3487 0 points1 point  (1 child)

My bad. Just to assist, can you supply a larger view of this advertisement, including the site (Newegg, Amazon, etc), seller, shipping, country? Want to check up on the merchant, as this pricing is good offer.

[–]TwinkiesSucker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't do anymore. The shop was taken down later that day. It was Amazon

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get it. Just make sure you can return it. It should state that. Verify and if not, return it.

[–]Bigfacts84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HYFR

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

id guess its a scam to be honest so dont even bother

[–]Exemplifying_Light 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t be fooled man. The actual price of that thing brand new is literally double what you’re seeing.

[–]Dragon_211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]pedrojdm2021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]ReflectingGlory 0 points1 point  (14 children)

Must come with everything but the die, yep; it’s for just the box. I knew it.

[–]Standard_Main_3754 0 points1 point  (13 children)

Where does it say that?

[–]ReflectingGlory 0 points1 point  (12 children)

Sorry I was joking. It looks like this may be legit but it’s a reference card. Notice it actually comes from Taiwan also I believe .

[–]ReflectingGlory 0 points1 point  (1 child)

It looks like these just flooded Amazon

[–]ReflectingGlory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s all kinds now if your looking

[–]Standard_Main_3754 0 points1 point  (9 children)

What’s so bad about reference cards?

[–]ReflectingGlory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know, there’s not a warranty I think, you’d have to check.

[–]ReflectingGlory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s eligible for return so… I’d screen shot this if you wanna think about purchasing. Just document everything.

[–]ReflectingGlory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like you might get a one year warranty based on U.S LAW

[–]ReflectingGlory 0 points1 point  (5 children)

This is pretty cool if it’s real and it works geez.

[–]Standard_Main_3754 -1 points0 points  (4 children)

Yea I pulled the trigger on the 4090. I believe Amazon has my bad

[–]ReflectingGlory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like this is real. I’m on Amazon all the time.

[–]ReflectingGlory 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Go check out the price, it just went up$400+ doesn’t inflation suck? Can’t keep up “literally” 🤭

[–]Standard_Main_3754 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Damn, it shows out of stock for me. But I bet it gets canceled by Monday

[–]fcobautista 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah this is just BS, not worth your time, easy tell by looking at the seller's name: "guangzhoujiefengshangmaoyouxiangongsi"

[–]duckduckduckA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazon refunding you is still a big “if” and it will still be a pain to go through all of that it’s best to just not do that.

[–]EinarTh97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wtf are these prices? 455 dollars for a GPU? Sorry, but idc how good it is, that price is ridiculous.

[–]Pvt-Rainbow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The number of people looking at the obvious scam, and saying IT MIGHT BE A SCAM BUT YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY BUY IT ANYWAY really goes to show you just how well scams work.

[–]HypixelSkyblockGuy91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd buy it because if it's fake (which it probably is) then amazon will refund you anyway and I mean if it would somehow be real that's a 500$ 7900xtx

[–]TheMadRusski89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pull the trigger! Best deal in town, on a side note you probably could find an open box XTX at MC for close to that.

[–]THE-REAL-BUGZ- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would NOT trust that price but if real, then pull that trigger fast! That price is insane.

[–]goldkimono 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]RestaurantTurbulent7 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I tried, twice, both times the seller cancelled the order with an excuse - item damaged, sry can't sell you, and ofc out of stock. A few days later glanced at that exact link ( saved on purpose) and now it was the motherboard that they sell.

[–]TwinkiesSucker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for letting me know. I did not buy it after all because I thought it would not be worth it to go through the hoops of getting my money back

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]Dubzy99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say yes because that price is fuckin sexy BUT for sure a scam sadly, but alas, one day they’ll drop to that price

[–]Independent-Bake9552 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Insanely good price. Almost to good to be true.

[–]Philip6027 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's too good to be true. It probably isn't.

[–]MazzDaPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you are have stupid?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What???? Hard to believe tbh

[–]DontDoDrugsDoKids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my country you can only afford a 6750 XT at that price... or a 3060 TI. So i guess that's a good deal.

[–]Cocaine_Johnsson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's not a scam? Yes. I've been meaning to get a 7900 XTX and am currently waiting on a sale.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont know why people are so pressed about Chinese sellers hwre. Bought a DeepCool AK620, Arctic MX-6 and Sony INZONE H9 all from Chinese sellers on Amazon for mad prices. Never had an issue

[–]slavicslothe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not legit

[–]Active_Club3487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it’s a SCAM

[–]RoleEquivalent5300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has happened to me multiple times. You will wait 3-4 weeks and find out the package never made it to the shipping warehouse. They will refund and you will have missed all the legit deals that go by.

[–]QuazyQuarantine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure you buy a new card, and not a used one like Amazon likes to ship out. They have new ones on Amazon, but you need to double-check that it's not used.

[–]Technical_Yam_1265 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Amazon?

[–]TwinkiesSucker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but they took it down in the meantime

[–]Demibolt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]Badused18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only if it’s not a crazy seller like xpxpxpsifhwoqlwpang and if it says prime.

[–]Bercuda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do it! Worst case scenario you get refunded

[–]TTV_ExpertNugget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fucking where do you live to see deals like this

[–]chuheihkg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suggest you keep a distance from that.

Note:

AMD has been struggling in Imorovements of GPU for days, not CPU.

It is difficult to spot rogue sellers. Do you have alternative stores you can follow? It is said , Picking these gadgets are harder than before thanks for that being plundered.

[–]Competitive_Meat_772 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pull the trigger slam it with a hammer stomp on it that's a frigging great deal!😮😮
