Hey folks. When you see a good deal, you better believe that something is up, even from a trusted retailer.

Yesterday while I was browsing Amazon.ae for an RTX 5090, I found an Aorus RTX 5090 White Edition listed under Amazon Resale for 14,916 AED.

Knowing that Amazon does reinstate returned items under resale category, and I have bought resold items before, I didn’t think twice to snatch this. It’s 50% below current market pricd and sold by the official Amazon Resale channel, heck yeh!

Thinking I’ve won the jackpot, I rushed home to see the delivery.

Box was looking bit scuffed, but this was expected from resold items.

So I opened the box, saw the accessories intact. Very good so far.

Then came the card. It was in the ESD bag, so I took it out. Then…

Biggest blunder! A tiny loose connector emerging near the card’s power connector.

I flip the card, and more bads news. Multiple connectors probably for the fans are disconnected.

Oh no….

This only means 1 thing.…
