With one Walmart closing its electronic section, an employee finished a 12-hour shift by purchasing two leftover for just $99.75 each. They promptly posted them on eBay and sold them in hours for four times [[link]] that. That's a tidy profit for the buyer and still a good CPU for its resold price.
The Ryzen 7 [[link]] 7800X3D was our previous choice for the before the arrival of the at the end of last year. The 7800X3D is currently powering my home rig and it's still an excellent chip, despite being surpassed.
Rather predictably, the announcement on Reddit is filled with at buying the CPU for hundreds under retail and the poster. The reason these CPUs sold for so cheap is that the store was selling off its components for 50% off for weeks prior to the lucky moment the original Redditor had found. Before this, they had managed to pick up an RTX 4070 for $350, and this 75% off deal on CPUs was the very last of the stock.
Though the Reddit user doesn't clarify which of the recent listings are theirs, a seems to be from their rough location, the top of the surface behind the CPU is the same as , and it seems to have sold around the same time they announced it had. If this listing is the correct one, it suggests the user managed to make $600 in profit from their purchases (not including shipping and travel costs).
This profit was made whilst also the recommended price on eBay by $30 reportedly. Global-Pickle5818 had tried to purchase the other two CPUs the store had in stock but they had been sent to the store for shoppers who purchased them online for full price (ouch). If they had managed to grab all four of the CPUs to sell on eBay, they would have made enough profit to buy themselves a whole new rig, or maybe even an if they were lucky enough to find one.
That's not a bad way to end a long shift.
