Scam? Student buys 26 AMD Ryzen 7 chips at a low price and is disappointed

Have you ever imagined being scammed on purchases made in person? This is what a university student from the United States, named Slow_Broccoli, came across what seemed like a great opportunity to do business. In this sense, he found what appeared to be various AMD processorsbut the outcome was not what was expected.
To begin with, he reported what happened in a post on Reddit and said that he saw several packages of Ryzen 7 5700G chips when he entered a store that sells second-hand products called Goodwill. Here, what caught his attention was the price charged for the items: US$ 7,49equivalent to R$36.83 at the current price.
That said, he wasted no time and bought all the units that were available for sale, totaling 26 boxes of processors. The user was disappointed to have found fans and manuals, but no chips. According to him, he was so discouraged that he got to the point where he stopped opening the packages when he was in his 20th year.
Without a doubt, this result ended up being a shower of cold water for the young man, who thought he had found a gold mine, with plans to sell the processors for US$30, at least. Therefore, the idea of earning “thousands of dollars” by selling the components ended up going very wrong.
Broccoli still thought regarding recovering part of the loss by putting the fans up for sale on eBay. However, he stated that the cost of shipping would not make the work worth it. This way, the student doesn’t know what to do with their purchase.
Also check out the case of a young man who bought an iPhone 11 and received a perfume for babies, as well as the resident of São Paulo who lost R$2,000 when buying an iPhone that was supposedly half the price.
Do you think it was a scam or lack of attention on the part of the student? Let us know in the comments below!

Customs Clearance and Transport Facilitation in Senegal: President of ANTCS Welcomes DG’s Approach

Kaolack, Jan 26 (APS) – The president of the National Association of Transporters and Traders of Senegal (ANTCS), Daouda Tine, welcomed the approach of the Director General of Customs consisting of facilitating procedures and other removals of goods on the various road and border axes.
“We welcome the initiative of the DG of Customs who gave us a listening ear to reduce customs controls as much as possible for the speed of procedures and other removals” he declared in particular.
Mr. Tine faced the press on the sidelines of the tour that the Director General of Customs made in the central zone of the country, which includes the regions of Diourbel, Fatick, Kaffrine and Kaolack.
»The central zone occupies a major place in the economy of Senegal, with shuttles of several hundred trucks from our members per day. We thank the DG of Customs for the attention he gave us,” said Mr. Tine.
The president of the ANTCS welcomed the approach of the customs administration to find “adequate responses” to their various concerns.
The DG of Customs, Mbaye Ndiaye, indicated that “economic operators are partners with whom the Customs administration has close relations”.
»We supervise them in the context of their activities by trying to provide them with a certain flexibility and facilitation. And I believe that it was necessary, even normal, that during this tour, to have an interview with the economic operators concerned to discuss with them in order to find solutions to the difficulties they encounter within the framework of the customs clearance formalities,” explained Mr. Ndiaye.
During this meeting with economic operators, the grievances focused mainly on the valuation of goods because “the value is the basis of duties”, underlined the DG of customs.
According to him, economic operators “sometimes tend to reduce declared values. Which often leads to challenges from the service and sometimes even adjustments.”
“It is a source of concern and we discussed to try to harmonize, to find intermediate values which would allow economic operators to continue to clear customs and the service also to accomplish its tax mission in the best possible way,” said supported Dr Mbaye Ndiaye.
The other problem raised during this meeting is linked to the multiple controls noted by Daouda Tine of ANTCS.
Instructions are given to Customs services in order to streamline them as much as possible to support these economic operators who create wealth, jobs and who are “extremely useful” for the economic and social development of Senegal, argued Dr Ndiaye.
