A bargain hunter shares a find on Reddit that many cannot grasp. In a shop in which technology is sold more of a kilo price than according to the actual value, he has drawn an expensive graphics card from a ravine. Experts advised him: sell the thing for the spare parts, but he built the card into his PC.
What kind of bargain does he have? The Reddit user Blackto0thgrin says he plans to build his first gaming PC and was looking for cheap components. So he strolled through a shop where Amazon’s return goods are sold. The shop in the US state of Tennessee is called “Gimme A 5 $” (give me a five).
There are large shelves in the shop that buy buyers through special objects. Cables or telephone cases are usually found there.
The user says he found a “monster from a graphics card” that looks 100 % new. He grabbed her, paid $ 4 (€ 3.84) and taxes and hoped that it worked.
In addition to the graphics card, he bought a USB channel for his phone, LED lights for the garage and something for the dog.

What kind of card is that? As it turned out later, the user had bought an AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT. This is an approximately 2 year old graphics card that is newly sold for € 700.
At Gamestar, the technology experts say about the graphics card:
Say hobbyists: Use them for the spare parts
So was the reaction: Some said on Reddit: he definitely made a bargain. Even if the card is safe, it can still be used as a spare parts dispenser. There are still € 60 or € 70 to get out.
The buyer felt really comfortable with the thought of disassembling and exploiting the card, but apparently not – he still had little experience with assembling a PC, because he did not want to unscrew a graphics card right away.

Does the card work? In fact, when building his 1st PC, the hobbyist canceled the card until the end and first bought a CPU, a motherboard and memory from the Walmart, then looked at YouTube videos and inform how to screw up a PC.
The last thing he built in he built the graphics card, certainly held its breath and indeed: the PC started and everything worked. The bios of the motherboard recognize the graphics card. The software and the drivers of AMD look finely, even the temperature is okay. He now installs Windows, he says relieved.
Enter and envy him on Reddit. It is said that he did the “bargain of the century”.
Why is that something special? The lucky guy has to answer many questions as to whether he found the paradise in the magical shop. But apparently it is not the case.
The shop chain “Give Me a Five $” is only available in 7 cities in Tennessee and the chain will now rename into “Keevado”. The shop is not a paradise for PC farmers: that is the first graphics card he has ever found there, says the Reddit user. There are no many parts for the PC there.
Normally there were only disordered cheap goods in the shop. They would not sell the goods according to value, but only according to the number. There would be no return. He was just lucky: Gamer buys expensive processor, accidentally gets 2 of them – does he have the right to keep both?
