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”.
Yep, Amazon is already paid, it’s stuff the seller values so little that when it’s returned by a buyer instead of paying a small restock or shipping fee, they leave it unclaimed.
The absolute only way this could happen organically is one buyer ordered all that RAM, and for some reason returned it. Then the seller’s only logical reason for not paying a restocking fee or even shipping to get product back, is the seller went out of business.
Sure, it might happen once or twice, ever. But after that, you still have to be the one that randomly gets that pallet.
It’s not just buying a winning lotto ticket.
It’s someone else finding a lotto ticket for a drawing that’s already happened, and buying it for an insane markup even though it’s almost guaranteed to not be the winning numbers. Hell, more like you’re the third person to buy it after someone found it.
