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".

It's not directly a con. It's actual returns, and god damn they get a lot. Whether it's worth it to try and get a net profit of anything is another thing. It can happen, but it's probably low.

Also, a great Climate Town on the very subject.
