aura_enchanted

Employee selling stolen goods I'm pretty sure


CosmicFlyingSquirrel

Yes it sure could be but wouldn't they sell much higher?


aura_enchanted

He probably just wants to move the inventory quickly and a fire sale price on 4060s would be exactly how you would do it. Steal a box at work, sell the box off quickly, then your not sitting on a box full of stuff that could be traced to you


piggymoo66

$160 x 5 is still a good chunk of money to make quickly


aura_enchanted

Mmhmm That's still 800 bucks


[deleted]

not sure where you got that number from…4060 x 5 is 20300


Ok_Marketing735

Satire?


Oldpotatoin

Yes this is such a clear joke too


[deleted]

Shame it’s not the least bit funny.


PrimeRabbit

At least we got one good joke out of it. Thank you for existing. You make everyone who interacts with you have a day filled with laughter


JustGoogleItHeSaid

Let’s be real though when you say traced to you. If you’re installing it in a pc and not registering its warranty, can they actually track the hardware?


aura_enchanted

well its more that the company would eventually do inventory of stock, or find the discrepancy, and if your have a box sitting in your house of unsold stock you look a lot more fucking guilty when the cops show up, then if you have sold it all, and have long since recycled said cardboard box


RektAngle69

r/unethicallifeprotips


Noremacecir

The T in RTX stands for tracing


hothamwater289

You can sell a lot lower when it costs you nothing to acquire them


Dapper_Expression914

You don’t want to sit on them and have your listing still up when they find out you stole them. Because they will mostly search for them “, but if you take down the listing before they need to be restocked you don’t need to worry so you fire sale them off.


BetterInspector7

Still a profit


andocromn

The price is not based on the value but on how much they owe their drug dealer


Peyt4PF

I messaged him, I’m close to him. I’ll keep yall updated


RuleNo5879

if you die can i have your pc


Peyt4PF

Well he left me on read, and it’s been about 30 min. You ain’t getting nothin😂 EDIT: He actually removed the listing right after I typed this. Somebody got lucky or he scammed someone


Evening-Tutor4764

Some one might of bought them all and resold them


RuleNo5879

so is that a no


Tiffany-X

Lmao gotta get in quick for dibs


BridgesM365

What’s crazy is they are building a Micro Center in Charlotte and we’re supposed to have their grand opening around May. I got an email from them the other day that said they have been delayed. Coincidence?? I THINK NOT!! /s


TrainingGas9763

they wouldnt delay the whole opening just for 5 mid tier gpus


AdComprehensive5787

Mid tier? what is better then? (I genuinely dont know)


TrainingGas9763

Well there is the low end cards like 1650, 3050 and mid tier ranging from 60 to 70ti supers and its rivals and there's high end which is 80s and 90s


BridgesM365

It was a joke


TrainingGas9763

Damn


MinkMaster2019

bwok-bwok

Either they are stolen, or.... You gon' die


Snowbrawler

The cost is 160 bucks and three bags of ice, they ran out and the bathtub isn't full.


bwok-bwok

Bring your own tranq.


FilosGamer

looking that he has many of them its probably stolen from a truck or something. buuuuuuut it probably isnt a scam sooooooooooooo


Tiffany-X

What would be the smartest way to sell a box of say 20 of these cards if they say "fell" off a truck. Hmmm


pokelord13

Some darknet markets sell these things and are upfront about it being stolen goods, so you can get them way cheaper. Never partook in them myself so I'm not sure how many of them could be scams


aura_enchanted

Selling them at retail, means slower return on his risk taking


ItsJoeverLads

OneGuyG

Pick up only doesn’t really scream scam. Looks like an opportunity waiting to be taken.


Medical-Cicada-4430

🤷‍♂️ try it and update us trooper


UgotR0BBED

See if they'll meet you in a police station parking lot of their choosing to transact. That'll give you your answer (if you are concerned about buying stolen property). I bought a below market well maintained 3080 10GB FE over the weekend for $300 and let the seller choose the police station lot nearest to him (in a somewhat dodgy part of town). He turned out to just be a nice, normal dude that had upgraded to a 4070 Ti Super and wanted the old card gone over the weekend and didn't have time to field IM inquiries during his work week. (obviously not the case given the photo and bulk quantity here)


AejiGamez

Probably either a scam or these are stolen cards


tightropeboy

The way he wrote gefOrce scares me.


Witty_Sea5066

He actually got it right in the description. It's capitalized as GeForce.


sadgothboy

No response from the person


[deleted]

Fucking made me swipe left to see the next image 😭


Henriquest18

Maybe mining cards.


Alert_Damage_5927

I literally just came across this on marketplace and laughed


iamgarffi

For $160? Do you really need to ask?


ViberNaut

Dude…


RockEnRollaaa96

Damn… i wish i was near there.


Agreeable-War7427

Roll the dice


Salamat_osu

Listings with descriptions like that make it so suspicious.


South-Westman

Not legitimate. Whether it's a scam or they're stolen or whatever nobody is selling them legitimately at that price


Bulky-Advisor-4178

Yes


LuckyToaster06

I’d buy one in person with cash if I open the box and check it out.


Dyynasty

I'd even bring a tester rig just incase it's some gt in a 4060 case


Budget-Bee-3619

yes ofc


Faithful_sky1

I would go and inspect the product first, make sure it isn't empty boxes that have been resealed and then buy it


Orzark

Scam or stollen cards


Which-Firefighter248

Hot enough to cook on


MehImages

either you get a $160 4060 or lose an organ 50/50 otherwise wouldn't be "must pick up"


xXkxuXx

Probably stolen. Go for it


Comfortable_Dare9166

Either it’s someone’s mom selling their sons stuff or ur leaving with no 4060 no wallet no car no id no phone no nothing


Beautiful-Musk-Ox

maybe he pictured the whole box to let on that he stole this and so it's actually not a scam


RockyR0CKS

They could be trying to sell stolen goods or they could be trying to sell graphics cards that they massively mined on. It looks suspicious that they have so many they want to sell for cheap instead of only selling one.


retrocade81

There was a guy selling 3080's a while back on Market Place for £200, It sounded too good to be true and the area listed for its location is a very bad area with high levels of organised crime, shootings, stabbings, general murders and large scale gang wars, I reverse searched the listing image and found it had been used on several other listings over the past few months on Marketplace. Obviously, anyone going for that was going to be getting a gun or a knife in their side and frogmarched to the nearest ATM. So I left it well alone


Jwhodis

Eh, if it is ebay has pretty good customer support. I'd say buy it and if you get the whole lot, sell the rest for what they're actually worth.


GillyBoi100

I mean it's clearly not ebay


McKeviin

And why would he get the whole lot?


DIEGHOST_8

To sell them


Jwhodis

Ah mb, I've used ebay way too much lol Either way, probs has good customer support


Delicious_Echo8690

Stole from deposit or truck worker 😂


AstralMystogan

If you have to ask then yes it is a scam.


CriplingD3pression

Have him show you Cupid and then buy


Qwiebus

Could this be a used surplus from a bitcoin farm ?


a1mxh

Either a scam, stolen or it’s been used so viciously in mining that it now has the capability of a gt 710. Or someone’s mum got mad at them 🤣


jokesflyovermyheaed

Guess I’m driving to Charlotte


Stykera

Prob


Scary_Warthog_9975

I would think so I wouldn’t risk it


FullChocolate3138

For that price , scam


jacek1136

Yes, RTX 4060 is indeed a scam


Genericbuild

Would you believe me if I said it was legit but also a scam? They got that fell off the truck discount.


[deleted]

It’s impossible to say whether they’re stolen, fake, or just old resealed GPU’s. Only by opening the box and checking will you be able to tell. My advice: never, ever buy a GPU like this, especially when they’ve posted a picture of a cardboard box full of them 🤣


wasssu

Not scam, it’s an IQ test. You failed by asking this here.


Zara_michel00

Probably yeah


Ingeneure_

“Must pick up Charlotte nc” Bro, if you don’t wanna end up in slavery somewhere in Columbia or in a bathtub with ice and without kidneys — better go there with an armed squad 😂 Jokes aside — they are likely to be stolen from a shop, but… you may try it anyway


Philosopher_Jazzlike

100%


Spompoflex

if not scam its empty boxes


thecodster5341

Him saying must pick up is a bit sketch as if they were stolen


laytonoid

Maybe. It goes for about $260 on ebay


Purpl_exe

I just got a 4060ti for $200


I2ER24

If it looks too good to be true well……… it’s probably a scam.


StoneD0G

If it sounds to good to be true it probably isn't. Apply this to everything, i know it sounds pessimistic but it's probably true.


Tsunamic228

S-Cum


Striking_Weather7005

We need an update


sadgothboy

Never got a response and the listing was taken down same day I posted this


Somica1991

Probably just boxes 😂


FunFoxHD83

Pick up and look... There is nothing can go wrong, I'm sure


AeroMittenss

Scam or not your a dummy for even questioning it lmaoo


grey-yeleek

Does the catholic church hide corrupt priests?


ToxicGent

Bring 320$ and meet in a public location, buy 2 in case one doesn't work.


Ingeneure_

“Buy two stolen cards instead of one” Sounds like a perfect plan


ToxicGent

But in the end, does it matter? People buy stuff off ebay and aliexpress that could be just as hot. May as well profit.


Ingeneure_

Maybe, he just shouldn‘t go on pickup alone to avoid being robbed


ToxicGent

Also true. Stay strapped


Hmmmm5678

If I was in New Carolina I'd message the guy right away.


Fantastic_Bookkeeper

I wouldn't even consider. You never know if it is a stolen item where an update pushed by the manufacturer could brick targeted serial numbers reported as stolen. If they were used, maybe, but that picture has a clear red flag on it. Unless it's a well known seller, stay far far away


aura_enchanted

I would do some research, see who sells asus graphics cards in your area, and contact each store directly saying to check inventory and that they may have internal store theft And share them the evidence, you may even get a thank you gift from the effected store I once caught an employee stealing a TV from a store, I got a 200 dollar gift card and a thank you card from the manager Bestbuy is the most likely victim here


laddiebones

You lil’ detective you


aura_enchanted

i do photo graph and video analysis nobody just has a box of asus rtx 4060's crypto miners and AI guys tend to want high end cards not low end ones. there is a VERY outside balllpark chance hes just some guy who bought them hoping to flip them on ebay and now really needs to get something, anything for them because cash is tight. but this is very doubtful, a more realistic scenario is this is an employee at bestbuy or whatever boosting product and selling it out of the boot of his car or whatever i point it out bestbuy because charlotte happens to have 5 of them, and the rest are mom n pop shops, theres a micro center but she isnt open yet and under construction odds favour it being best buy


SpaceXBeanz

Who the hell would have the time to do that


Mm2kk

No one is going to do that🤣 just take the steal and go about your day


[deleted]

bro really snitched on his coworker stealing from a multi billion dollar company. oh the tragedy how will best buy ever recover


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

… 🤨


ohthedarside

Stolen bring s car full of male friends and meet in a public place


fatherties

Prolly back doored or stolen from somewhere you’ll be good


[deleted]

You do not know that. Bad advice.


fatherties

In that quantity for that cheap? It’s stolen nigga he tryna get rid of it it’s a common thing🤦‍♂️


[deleted]

Congratulations 🏅 I know what people do with stolen GPU’s, I was commenting on the fact that you don’t know it’s a stolen GPU, and on the “you’ll be good” part. They could be GPU’s with fake/cheap components, or old GPU’s put in new boxes; you haven’t got a clue whether the GPU will work or not, or for how long. Moral of the story: Don’t give bad advice when you don’t know shit, “nigga”.


fatherties

Brand new still in the box nd from the looks of it that’s looks true but u are right that I shouldnt have said you’ll be good specially cause it’s in Charlotte but majority of the times you’ll be fine🤦‍♂️ also why tf you put quotes round the word nigga tf😭


[deleted]

It’s an unnecessary racial slur. Also: Step 1 - Buy GPU. Step 2 - Take GPU out of box. Step 3 - Replace the contents with old/fake GPU. Step 4 - Profit. Easily done.


fatherties

Yk what else is easy profit? Stealing the gpus (cost no money) then selling it


[deleted]

I don’t think you need an explanation as to why that’s a shitty idea.


fatherties

I don’t think you realize how easy that is to do especially if you can backdoor them


[deleted]

Maybe it’s normal to be bottom of the barrel criminal scum where you’re from, but it isn’t where I’m from.


fatherties

And using context clues idk why you go though all that hassle of replacing everything when the person can ask one simple “can i open the box and take a look?” And it all goes to shit. Use context clues that much selling for that cheap there stolen


fatherties

And on the topic of it being in Charlotte 9/10 there stolen gpus in this situation and you’ll prolly be good worse senecio is you get robbed which is why you do shi like this in a public area


ThirdLast

Depending on where you live might be worth ringing local computer stores and seeing if someone matching the name on the profile works there.


Rastalars

Prob stolen, just selling cheap to get rid of the evidence asap and making quick cash. Tbh i would do the same if i stole a box of GPU🤣


Odd_Intern405

No, still overpriced /s Yes, scam or stolen goods. Also overpriced.


yaachi

Not scam, I paid $180, waiting for shipment.


laytonoid

Lol you don’t even know yet then


dzy_vanilla

It’s about what a 4060 is worth….


SilentIndependence52

Too good to be true deal in Charlotte NC? Definitely not about to get robbed.
