Witness another lucky user receiving thousands of dollars' worth of RAM sticks. We are totally not jealous.
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".
The user describes how he got insanely lucky after buying 25 KG of Amazon return pallets. He paid $4 per Kg, which means he paid a $100 for 25 KG return pallets. Since Amazon return pallets can contain anything, including customer-returned, overstocked, or even unsold items, buying one largely comes down to luck, and not everyone walks away with a good deal. Some pallets may include defective or damaged products, which is why purchasing them often feels more like gambling.
That said, this Redditor was extremely lucky to find not one or two but a whopping 40 DDR5 RAM modules inside the pallets. Each RAM packet had a 16 GB Kingston Fury DDR5 module, which is currently selling for at least $175 on Amazon. So, the total cost of the package is nearly $7000. We mostly see users getting an additional 3-4 RAM sticks or NVMe drives, but 40 RAM sticks really feels like using the entire year's luck.
The only time we saw someone get a lot of RAM sticks was yesterday, when a user paid $300 for a RAM kit, but received a box with 10 kits instead. We see such mistakes by Amazon occasionally, but nowadays, a lot of stories appear on Reddit as this is something considered a big luck these days.
