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?
get something like this? https://www.ebay.com/itm/145432649565 or https://www.ebay.com/itm/134831628101 to return??
if your account has a good history theyll refund you fine.
That's what I was thinking, but I'm unsure if good standing is enough for them to not check the serial number on a product worth over two grand. Maybe swapping something worth less than like 500 dollars would go unnoticed, but more than two grand feels like it's really pushing the limit here, especially when felony theft charges could very well be the worst case scenario.
I'd give this a shot with a cheaper card if I could figure out how to flawlessly swap the serial number label.
