Alibaba CPU - share your opinion

[TheBeacon]

Hello guys,

I am interested in buying some CPU from Alibaba. What do you think about this particular one? - https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Original-lntel-Processor-i7-4790K-Quad_60744148470.html?spm=a2700.7724838.2017115.137.59727768NbUQEE

Alibaba is for wholesale purchase. I think you will not be able to buy a single processor.

Man you havent even opened the link probably, they say 1 - 499 pieces for US $50.00/each >=500 pieces for US $1.00each.

Yes it is a wholesale but this one sells from 1piece, which is kinda amazing.

And what about the sellers reputation? Can some1 tell me if he is trustworthy?

ever heard the one about a free lunch? Personally, i'd ask myself why he'd be selling them for $50 per when he knows he can get 5-6 times that on ebay or amazon

just saying

i had one purchase on alibaba, two days after paying, got an email that "customs had rejected" the shipment. Never heard again, nor saw a refund - i wrote off the purchase

but in the event you do purchase one and it shows up legit, pls come back and tell us

alibaba is for wholesalers buying in bulk.
aliexpress is for consumers looking for a single item.

That particular "seller", Shenzhen Brilliant Electronic Co., Ltd....doubtful anyone outside of his business orbit has heard of them to provide a recommendation.

Yes TheBeacon, I opened the link, and not only that, but I started the purchase process. I came to a screen where you have to put the number of processors you want and the price you are willing to pay. The price of the initial screen is no longer known ...

Anyway, it's your money ...
