$3,000 RTX 5090 delivery brings rocks, a towel, and broken dreams — unboxing nightmare on an expensive GPU bought from Amazon Resale

A Redditor purchased an MSI Suprim RTX 5090 for $3,000 from Amazon Resale but received rocks and a towel instead. The GPU had likely been swapped by a previous buyer who returned it, fooling Amazon with a resealed box. This incident highlights the risks of buying open-box items and the need for thorough inspections before resale. The victim plans to return the package to Amazon for a refund, similar to a previous case where a brick was received instead of an RTX 5080.
