You know the times are tough when you have articles about a random dude who saved 200 dollars on a mid-tier GPU...

I have to imagine most of these "lucky" buyers snagging clearance sales are just reseller bots and not real people.

How would a reseller bot walk into a Walmart and pick up a graphics card off the shelf?

they could literally be a worker, mark it down, and claim it was a good deal and they were lucky.

250 off 599 isn't 60% it's right around 40%

Anyone who works at Walmart would still be considered a "real person." It's pretty disrespectful to imply otherwise.

Those sales are SO random as it depends on the store and dept mgr. In 2020, I snagged an 15" HP Envy X360 laptop floor model that sold for $999 and got it for $199. They do happen but are extremely rare.

At least they knew the actual price, versus just what their monthly payments would be.

(Have seen $40 cell phone accessories priced in "Only $x per month!" so folks must actually do it.)

It wasn't that long ago when $350 would be considered quite expensive for a mid-tier GPU.

i've not even seen any gpu of any kind in a walmart in a very long time. not sure how they even clearance something they don't actually carry in store??

think hdd/ssd are the only internal parts you can get anymore in store. so i'm more curious what store(s) actually carry pc parts these days than i am wondering about the lucky mark-down found.

i've gotten similar great prices at random but not on pc parts. if you check often you can get lucky in a very rare instance. for instance i found ti-84 calculators years ago when they still mattered for like $30 each. those were easy to flip for under msrp and still make a nice little profit. think i sold em for like $75 each at the local community college.

Are you trying to suggest that Walmart is staffed by actual humans rather than NPCs? Have you ever interacted with one?

This is a terrible deal. For $199 more he could have had RTX 4090 power.

A whole article because, person buys cheap graphics card.

Future's clickbaitery going into over-drive...
