Generally speaking, I get the feeling I should stick to something that isn’t worth enough for felony theft charges to apply, so no RTX 4090 or 4080. The 4070 Ti isn’t at all a bad deal for $0.00, so I suppose that’s the one.

I’ve heard conflicting reports on how likely Amazon is to refund you if you simply claim the box showed up with a brick in it. I’ve also seen conflicting reports on whether or not they’ll actually check if a return has the same serial number on it. What say you, Hexbear?

      I remember that thread and if I was going to do this it’d be with this method. Maybe it’d be feasible to swap out the cooler or forge the little serial number sticker on the actual card?
