Redditor Hits the “Jackpot” As the Amazon Return Pallets Gave Him a Surprise of 40x 16 GB DDR5 RAM Sticks for Just $100
We hope this doesn’t convince you to waste your money on Amazon return pallets, but this story might tempt some to try their luck. While we have been posting reports of users getting free hardware worth hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars, this is one of the craziest stories so far. The user u/Apprehensive-Dig2898 posted that he “Hit the jackpot with Amazon return pallets”.
A couple different ways to read this.
Amazon marketing team turned an “oops, we just handed some rando $7,000 in valuable equipment” into a “you, too, can get rich quick buying our trash”
The pallets aren’t random, there was an insider who knew exactly what they were getting, and Amazon operates at such high volume that they don’t really care.
It’s a totally fake story that’s been churned out by one of those AI news story engines, stumbled upon by some weeb who didn’t know what they were looking at, and recirculated into
RedditLemmy, when it deserves to be a pop-up on CNN that your grandmother doesn’t know how to close.
