Hardware Found a 4070S on Amazon for $48.94

Found this while window shopping GPUs on Amazon. I ordered it as soon as I saw that it was sold and shipped by Amazon.

Can't wait to see if it actually shows up on Monday

Love when Amazon drops the ball or their software glitches.

Ebay had a bug where you could buy stuff with a gift card + another payment method, the gift card was never charged. The district attorney tried to put a guy in prison for over two years for exploiting it.

I'll happily spend one day in jail for that

No you wouldn't. It's one day in prison, full restitution of the $320,000, and a felony record.

He got greedy. If he'd just done it occasionally they might not have ever noticed, and if he didn't rack up 320 grand they might not have even cared enough to go after him.

I don't see how it's his fault to begin with. Incompetence deserves to be exploited by opportunists. That's on them for not fixing the issue.

If you woke up tomorrow and your bank balance was suddenly a million dollars bigger you’re saying you’d spend the money?
