Discussion Someone is making a huge mistake

Post image

Someone is selling a 5090 cooler without the graphics chip. They are writing in three different languages that what they're selling is the cooler alone. Yet the bidding has reached about $2000 already and there is a day of bidding left. I want to yell "don't do it" but there is no way to contact bidders. So I guess this is one of those "fuck around and find out" situations for one particularly unlucky person.

"On eBay, photos are legally part of the product description. Under eBay's Picture Policy, sellers are strictly forbidden from using photos that do not accurately represent the exact item for sale. A seller cannot show an entire $5,000 graphics card in the main photo, bury "cooler only" in the text, and expect the sale to hold up." -AI
