    Someone bought a pallet of returned products and found this as one of the returned products. So what?

    It is important to note that this pretty useless concoction of non-working parts – dressed up as one of the best graphics cards available to consumers in 2024 – wasn’t sold as a new model. It was received by an NWR customer in a pallet deal from Amazon Returns.

    We can’t know for sure, but the product received by NWR, apparently from an Amazon pallet deal, may have been an Amazon return where a faulty Franken-graphics-card was returned and someone kept a good working one. The outward description of a cracked PCB and melted power connector might even suggest another level of deception used to return this switched product.

      Seems to me like either Amazon sold the scam product that the customer returned since it wasn’t what they ordered, or the original customer did a switcheroo with some broken card. That would be the pertinent part of the story for me.

      As far as the pallet buyer is concerned it’s a swing and a miss and they probably should move on.
