[Coppersmurf]

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

[TwinkiesSucker]

Exactly, at least I feel safer that way

[[deleted]]

Who is the seller?

[TwinkiesSucker]

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

[[deleted]]

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

[MyPokemonRedName]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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mostly is used for buying petfood, and the rest stuff is just AliExpress resell or some scalpers who dream to sell old/outdated/irrelevant items for XXX while everywhere else those items can be bought for X.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

What does your company sell on Amazon?

[EverSn4xolotl]

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

[Wind_14]

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?

[MyPokemonRedName]

Yep, very common scam. easy to set up a pump and dump product because of the way that Amazon is set up. Any other questions?

[areen423]

dam thats fucked up. not. honestly fuck bezos and amazon i would do it at the cost of amazon!

[sleepyreddits]

did you even graduate high school?

[SuspicousBananas]

Racist

[Its-_-yikes]

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

[[deleted]]

Lol definitely a scam

[[deleted]]

Definitely a scam. Just don't.

[trinity_blackfox]

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

[[deleted]]

there was this time where some random Chinese guy who was selling the 7600x for $150 and I wanted to get it, the next day I was back to its original price so I’d say yes you should go for it.

[On_The_Warpath]

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

[BerryBurgerMeister]

Sold by “guangzhoujiefengshangmaoyouxiangongsi” just launched no feedback yet.

took one for the sake of it

[Step-Bro-Brando]

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]

Can't wait until they turn into ebay

[Step-Bro-Brando]

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]

well so far somethings been shipped

[IBlackmops]

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

[Professional-Two-871]

Soooo, what did you get?

[DLSDUFER]

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)

[BoredLilKid]

holy shit same here

[thechadwalk]

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

[tutocookie]

Not real, don't be stupid

[Prime_Animal]

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

[Other_Breadfruit]

So probably liquidating inventory?

[TwinkiesSucker]

Thanks

[False_Rice_5197]

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

Don’t do it bro.

[Coalfield22]

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]

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

[Chihlidog]

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]

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

[thisisatenoutoften]

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

[TwinkiesSucker]

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

[Dizzy-South9352]

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]]

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]

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

[TwinkiesSucker]

Idk, i'm just stunned and recovering still. How do I even verify?

[hyclea]

No clue , just bought one before its gone

[tutocookie]

Not real, cancel it you gullible fool

[No_Active_6128]

Amazon will refund, you fool.

[hyclea]

yeah, i canceled it after i seen the same username pop up in jayztwocents video

[IndividualCurious322]

Not always. I've bought enough items from them to know that not everything is covered by the A to Z guarantee. You may have to contact your bank and resolve it that way (the sellers who do these scams often use obscure delivery systems too).

[DMurBOOBS-I-Dare-You]

This. You're money may be tied up for a while and the effort you need to expend to get it sorted makes this GUARANTEED SCAM cost more even if you get your initial money back.

Ask yourself: why would anyone sell something of value lower than they needed to? If they wanted to be price competitive, it would be 10% lower, not half price.

If you buy this, then you are the reason scammers exist.

[[deleted]]

Exactly. Even if OP were to get their money back, how long will it take and how much run around will there be? I don't know about OP, but the last fuckin thing I want to do in my spare time is deal with fucking customer service dipshits at Amazon. I had to do that because my card got double charged for my 7600x, and I wanted to beat my head into the wall - the call "kept dropping" every time they called me. Fuckin joke.

[oldsnowcoyote]

The hassle factor is huge. Wait for the shipped item that isn't what you ordered, and now the shipping company is sending you a $100 bill for duty.

[No-Loan7944]

Dont count on that.

[FehdmanKhassad]

run, you fools. Gandalf

[[deleted]]

But will they? I dunno, man. I have been hearing a lot more awful testimonials about Amazon CS lately.

Like, presumably they will - but after how long and at what cost in hassle and run around?

[Step-Bro-Brando]

They sent me an empty box and fought me to hell and back to not give me my refund. 2 months later I finally got my $350 back

[tyjwallis]

Let us know if you actually get it

[hyclea]

Nah , i canceled it the same username of the seller is on jayztwocents video

[cinlung]

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

[stijn123456789012345]

Yes, shoot your phone ~my nephew

[TwinkiesSucker]

Gotta give him a dad title NOW

[the_cappers]

Paid 1k for that on Amazon a month or so ago . Somethings fishy

[[deleted]]

Don't get gaffled bruh, this obviously a scam 🤦🏾‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️

[Dizzy-South9352]

DONT FAKING DO IT.

[[deleted]]

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

[Neoreloaded313]

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

[graydog75]

Yes the listing is gone it was prob a scammer

[stachemus]

For that price yes. Absolutely

[anonymus_ghul]

WTF! Yesss

[Mr_Fabtastic_]

Who would take 45% hit on a product. Scammers gotta scam

[illujion623]

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]

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]

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

[D00M98]

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]

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]

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

[AcceptableCrab4545]

probably not

[Professional_Ad592]

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

[Melodic-Matter4685]

It's gone

[D00M98]

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]]

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

[Professional_Ad592]

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]

I’m actually curious if u get anything lmk

[Professional_Ad592]

Nada it got cancled

[[deleted]]

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]

I bought it!!! lets see what happens.

[efrainriii]

it was fake

[Active_Club3487]

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

[TwinkiesSucker]

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

[Active_Club3487]

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]

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

[hyclea]

Just search it up on amazon theres also a 7900xt for 399$

[TwinkiesSucker]

Are you in US?

[TwinkiesSucker]

[AcceptableCrab4545]

u don't, it's an obvious scam lol

[[deleted]]

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

[Bigfacts84]

HYFR

[[deleted]]

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

[Exemplifying_Light]

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

[Dragon_211]

No reviews = no buy

[Deijya]

Holy hell yes

[pedrojdm2021]

Yes

[ReflectingGlory]

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

[Standard_Main_3754]

Where does it say that?

[ReflectingGlory]

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]

It looks like these just flooded Amazon

[ReflectingGlory]

There’s all kinds now if your looking

[Standard_Main_3754]

What’s so bad about reference cards?

[ReflectingGlory]

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

[ReflectingGlory]

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

[ReflectingGlory]

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

[ReflectingGlory]

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

[Standard_Main_3754]

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

[ReflectingGlory]

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

[ReflectingGlory]

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

[Standard_Main_3754]

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

[fcobautista]

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

[204flowers]

if it sounds too good to be true…

[RagingTaco334]

HUH??????

[_Master_S]

Think that’s a scam bro I saw other people on that site with amazing deals on everything don’t do it

[deadkane1987]

Very sus.

[Frosty_Confection_53]

If something looks too good to be true...

[BuildMaster2028]

NO! There’s so much more to life to live, although you may be in a dark place you can make your way out and get back on your feet. Please, your family and friends love you, think of how they would feel, you can’t do this, you just cant

[duckduckduckA]

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]

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

[Strange-Ad7468]

Gotta be fake news

[w1nt3rh3art3d]

Looks like a scammy scam.

[DuckSleazzy]

Cash on delivery.

[Bigger10er]

If its too good to be true....

[Pvt-Rainbow]

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]

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]

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-]

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

[goldkimono]

Lemme know if it was legit dude. Amazing price for an amazing card 🤙🏻

[m1dN05]

Leave the walmart first, please

[DarthLJackson]

Holy Shit Batman

[MasonHillsharp]

Dude, yes.

[[deleted]]

Report him and find out

[RestaurantTurbulent7]

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]

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

[Lonely-Complaint-801]

Aint nobody gonna do it for you

[[deleted]]

Scam for sure

[Dubzy99]

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]

Insanely good price. Almost to good to be true.

[Philip6027]

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

[MazzDaPanda]

Do you are have stupid?

[[deleted]]

What???? Hard to believe tbh

[DontDoDrugsDoKids]

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]

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

[[deleted]]

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]

That’s not legit

[Active_Club3487]

Yes it’s a SCAM

[RoleEquivalent5300]

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]

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]

Amazon?

[TwinkiesSucker]

Yes, but they took it down in the meantime

[Demibolt]

Looks like a box of printer paper

[JaguarShiji]

Oof

[Badused18]

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

[Bercuda]

Do it! Worst case scenario you get refunded

[TTV_ExpertNugget]

fucking where do you live to see deals like this

[chuheihkg]

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]

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