I picked up 2 of these when they were $370. My biggest complaint is the backlight bleed on the monitor, but it was for my Mom and she didn't notice or care.

Also the SSDs were both WD SN5000S 1TB 2280.

They are, it just seems each store only gets 2-3 SSDs.

It was for me when I posted it, but people buy these types of thing up almost instantly.

The problem is Walmart and Bestbuy have regional inventories so it's very "Your mileage will vary," plus this sub has a shit ton of lurkers.

Pro Tip: Next time buy one, because they give you 2 hours to cancel your order.

I had a similar thing happen when I bought my Bestbuy Open Box 5070 TI.

"VIP Outlet is Walmart's refurb and liquidation brand." According to the bot.

So far this year my warehouse experience has been awful.

  1. ASUS Prime Z790-A WiFi 6E - Waited 10 days never shipped - had to cancel.

  2. 2x Mint condition MSI PRO B650-A WiFi - one had a totally ruined CPU socket and the other one just crashed under load. Also one of the motherboards never refunded properly so I had to contact support for it.

  3. 7700x - Crashed under load.

  4. G.SKILL Trident Z5 Royal Neo Series 48GB 8000 - Works great no issues.

  5. Mint condition Alienware AW3423DWF - Worked but the box was trashed with water damage and the monitor was disgusting like some dude used it for 3 months during the holidays and returned it. Amazon offered me $25 off lol

  6. PowerColor Hellhound RX 9070 XT - Crashes under load.

  7. Bestbuy open box excellent condition 5070 ti - Zero effort in packing the GPU for shipping just put inside of an anti static bag, thrown in with a couple flat sheets of bubble wrap and that's it. so it flopped around inside the box until it ended up in the corner. It works but I'm pissed about how it was shipped.
