Walmart Reselling Nvidia RTX 50-Series GPUs at Discounts Due to Returns

Customers report finding high-demand GPUs at reduced prices in Walmart's returns aisle, raising questions about retail policies and buyer risks.

Multiple Reddit users have shared verified accounts of purchasing Nvidia RTX 50-series GPUs at Walmart for prices significantly below MSRP due to returned merchandise being resold.
Examples include an RTX 5080 bought for $895.99 (MSRP $1,279.99) and an RTX 5070 purchased for $515 (MSRP $549), with some products still sealed in their original packaging.
These discounts occur during ongoing supply shortages and widespread price scalping, making the deals rare opportunities for buyers seeking high-end GPUs.
The practice involves Walmart marking down returned GPUs, but concerns have been raised about potential warranty issues and the risk of tampered products.
Speculation suggests that widespread exploitation of this return loophole could lead Walmart to revise its policies, potentially classifying such actions as fraudulent.
