Title: $800-900 computer component for 15 BTC Post by: mrb on September 30, 2011, 07:00:04 AM This is a very unusual offer: just now, I stumbled upon a very high-end computer component on Amazon with a huge pricing error ($125 instead of $800-900 as on Newegg). I am not going to tell what it is except it is a PCIe card and NOT a graphics card (but something that is still common enough that Amazon and Newegg carry dozens/hundreds of different models of this type of device). The item condition is new. There are only 8 in stocks. I am definitely buying one for me, and one to resell.
Send me 1 BTC to get a bit more information, I will reveal the category the item belongs to: sound, network, raid, ssd, or firewire card. Send me another 14 BTC and I will send you the URL to the item on amazon.com. Email me or PM me. I will refund you if the pricing error is fixed, say within 5 minutes after the BTC payment receives 1 confirmation. This is a legitimate offer. Check my reputation on bitcoin-otc (see sig).

Update Friday 30, 08:01 UTC: still 4 in stock. I am going offline; I will return at 16:00 UTC.

Are you fucking kidding? $5 to know what the link is for, $75 for the link? Douchebag.

Title: Re: $800-900 computer component for 15 BTC Post by: nelisky on September 30, 2011, 10:09:49 AM I'm not paying for link displays, but I'm willing to pay for someone to buy one of these for me and ship it to Europe :) Any takers? Will pay in bitcoins.
Title: Re: $800-900 computer component for 15 BTC Post by: worldinacoin on September 30, 2011, 10:38:24 AM I think such incidents happened before and the online stores cancel and refund those who were buying these, so it is a risk the buyer has to take. I also do not see the point of taking advantage of others' mistakes. Might as well alert them and be a good internet citizen.
Title: Re: $800-900 computer component for 15 BTC Post by: wormbog on September 30, 2011, 03:29:38 PM Amazon price is now $215.
mrb, if it's really such a great deal, but them all and resell them. But asking people to pay to even find out what kind of component it is? Very lame. Advice: if you find yourself needing to type "This is a legitimate offer." you should just cancel the message right there. Title: Re: $800-900 computer component for 15 BTC Post by: sadpandatech on September 30, 2011, 03:38:42 PM fuggin retarded, since it would never ever go through at Amazon since they don't use 15yr old Bitcoin coders to write their backend software. ;p
But, out of curiosity are you refering to this? http://dealspl.us/Computer-Components_deals/p_highpoint-rocketraid-2782-pci-e-x16-sas-sata-6gb-s-raid (http://dealspl.us/Computer-Components_deals/p_highpoint-rocketraid-2782-pci-e-x16-sas-sata-6gb-s-raid) you can't even buy there, it forwards you to Amazon with their partner ID and displays the correct price. I wanna see it if not... Title: Re: $800-900 computer component for 15 BTC Post by: Alex Fenner on October 03, 2011, 12:39:42 AM That they are.

I google searched "pcie -video" on their shopping tab. Then I narrowed to $100-$150 and only amazon. It was like the third result.Title: Re: $800-900 computer component for 15 BTC Post by: TiagoTiago on October 04, 2011, 06:50:02 PM Did they deliver the ones bought at the low prices?
