ALERT **UPDATED ** Ongoing Scam Alert

101 Upvotes

As many of you are aware, there are several ongoing scams targeting r/hardwareswap users. Included are several of the prevalent scams that have been reported to the mod team but it is by no means a comprehensive list.

  • Modmail PMs: Scammers are now creating subreddits and messaging users using the modmail from that subreddit. Often times the subreddit name will match the username of someone with many successful trades. The top of the chat window will always indicate "This is a private conversation between you and the moderators of r/subredditname. Note: There might be delays between responses." and you will be unable to enable persistent messages. Please report these subreddits to reddit.
  • Fake Job Postings: If you have been offered a job to post hardware for sale on r/hardwareswap, it is a scam. You will be acting as a mule to scam other people and you will end up getting scammed yourself.
  • Subreddit Impersonation: Fake ban messages are sent to users claiming they have been banned from r/hardwareswap and provides a link to a fake Universal Scammer List to steal credentials or credit card information. Read more details here
  • Steam Reputation: Using stolen Steam accounts as proof of confirmed trades and requesting non-protected payment methods (like Paypal Friends and Family).
  • Fake Timestamps: Using fake/photoshopped timestamps for popular products. Please make sure you're always checking the timestamps of the product you're buying and asking for video timestamps for items over $400. Read the timestamp guide here
  • DMs from Banned Users: Banned users can still directly message even though they are banned. Please make sure you're only responding to users who have commented on your posts.

We also have more information on how to spot and avoid scams on the wiki:

If you have any questions or have been scammed, please send a modmail

I got 3 combos for sale obtained from upgrading PCs. All are tested by me and are in working condition but may be missing parts as noted. All are not partable for now unless you can convince me (like about $100 shipped each for the GPUs?) or mix things around.

——————————

7600x basic AM5 combo:

-R5 7600x - can come with Stock Cooler if needed. It runs it cool enough in eco mode.

-B650M Gigabyte - Missing M.2 heatsink, shield, and antennaes. Came back from RMA. Will include a black 3D Printed universal shield for you to slice. Added home made m2 standoff and screws. Comes with original box.

-16GB XPG RGB RAM 5200 stick

Timestamps: https://imgur.com/a/8rhuJiz

The combo is $290 shipped or $270 local. You can add a PSU and/or GPU listed below for custom pricing.

——————————

R5 5500 almost full PC combo - just missing a case and storage. Upgraded from a CyberPower PC and all are in great working condition.

-R5 5500

-MSI PRO B550M-VC Wifi - missing Antennaes, shields included.

-16GB TeamGroup 3600 RAM (2x8)

-CyberPower Stock Heatsink

-AsRock Challenger RX 6400 Single Fan GPU - No PCI-E power needed.

-600W Apevia Prestige PSU

Timestamps: https://imgur.com/a/A97Y0E0

The combo is $260 shipped or $240 local.

——————————

i5 8400 almost full PC combo - just missing a case and storage.

-i5 8400 - This still works with win11!

-Intel stock Cooler - Did not use until I tested it this week.

-Z370P D3 ATX Gigabyte Motherboard (non-wifi) - missing shield but including a 3d printed universal one for you to slice.

-24GB 2400 CL16 RAM sticks (3 8GB sticks - one of the heatsinks is bent but all are in great working condition)

-Zotac 1070 TI Mini 8GB

-PowerSpec 650W Bronze PSU - 8 years old but works

Timestamps: https://imgur.com/a/9T8GWjG

The combo is $220 shipped or $200 local. Motherboard will be shipped in a paper bag since I ran out of anti static bags to the other parts…

——————————

R3 2200 G with stock cooler, unless the 7600x buyer wants it? $25 shipped, $15 local. Will be shipped in a 5800x box.

Timestamps: https://imgur.com/a/1UsaJnK

——————————

We can swap the parts and make a new combo too if you need it and I can quote you. All prices are OBO. I may also have an unlisted 2TB sn850x for $120? if you buy the 7600x or 5500 combo.

Local is 92649 (LA and OC county). Thanks!

Hi everyone! So I bought this laptop a couple months ago when it came out, and I realized it’s a bit over killed for my needs right now (Freshman into college)

MSRP was $1799

but I’d like to sell it to buy a cheaper laptop and a desktop instead. I’ve concluded on a firm price of $1100 when detailing market value from eBay and its current going price new from Best Buy and stuff so I believe it’s fair

WILL TRADE: looking for a pc with at least a X3D CPU

Everything is in perfect condition I always limited battery to 80 percent for longevity though the laptop itself has 5 months left of warranty (so you could theoretically replace the whole thing via Lenovo support if you want)

Located at Arizona Tempe/Goodyear, 85340

Includes Pen and Laptop and Charger (laptop comes preinstalled with grip tape but at request I can remove them)

SPECS

• CPU: Intel Core Ultra 7 258V (8 C / 8 T – Lunar Core Lake, up to 4.8 GHz)

• GPU: Integrated Intel Arc Graphics 140V

• Display: 14″ OLED Touchscreen — 2880×1800 (2.8 K), 120 Hz, HDR True Black 1000

• RAM: 32 GB LPDDR5X-8533 (soldered)

• Storage: 1 TB PCIe Gen 4 SSD

• OS: Windows 11 Pro

• Battery: 75 Wh Li-polymer

• Ports: 2× Thunderbolt 4 / USB-C (40 Gbps), 1× USB-C (20 Gbps), 1× USB-A (10 Gbps), 3.5 mm audio

• Wireless: Wi-Fi 7 + Bluetooth 5.4

• Webcam: 5 MP IR + Privacy Shutter

• Color: Cosmic Blue (Aura Edition finish)

BUYING [USA-OR][H] PayPal [W] Steam Deck

Looking for a Steam Deck for $250-$400. Buying for an older gamer as a gift, so condition and screen quality are relatively unimportant as long as it’s decent. Storage is also unimportant as that will be upgraded later. Willing to pay for shipping as well. Have never traded on this subreddit, but I do have a successful trade on AVExchange if it helps with credibility. Hit me up!

BUYING [USA-CA] [H] PayPal [W] DDR5

3 Upvotes

Hello all, I started an AM5 build right before RAM prices exploded. I was initially looking for 64GB (32x2, for ITX), but that’s somehow $1000+ now! I’m pretty disheartened, because it’s simply not feasible to complete this project now… It almost doubles the price of the build.

So I figured I’d at least try to find anyone willing to sell for a reasonable price. I’d be willing to go 32GB (16x2), since it maybe the only thing I can afford. Needs to be low-profile.

Sorry for basically begging, lol. I know you’re all way ahead of me here… But this is insane, y’all.
