A Walmart employee finished their shift by purchasing two Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPUs for $99.75 each, a price significantly below the standard retail cost. They quickly resold the CPUs on eBay for over $700, making substantial profits within hours.

“7800 3D is $99 at my Walmart” — a post from r/pcmasterrace.

The CPUs were part of clearance as the Walmart store was shutting down its electronics section. The employee’s deal was hailed as a significant find, being about $350 under the usual MSRP.

This remark led to many Reddit users expressing envy and congratulations, with some hoping to buy the CPUs at similar prices.

Ultimately, this profitable venture not only benefitted the original buyer but also highlighted the fluctuating availability and prices in tech retail environments.
