Context: completely new stuff to be discarded and destroyed by Amazon, they are not returns – among the pile were also brand new GPUs with the seals still intact

Yeah bro if I’m him I’m just gonna be taking stuff lmao
But why???
Translation:
“Just why do new things have to be disposed of?
Amazon logic”
Does he live in the EU? Report that shit, it’s illegal here to just discard stuff. In Germany they got fined for this stuff multiple times
Give me the location and I’ll help him out
If they put that mobo out for like 200$ instead of the ridiculous 500$ it currently is, it would be gone in minutes
And the same companies that do that will lecture you about sustainability and the environment in their ad material.
So I assume these aren’t good to buy too
Since Amazon already had a lawsuit regarding the same stuff in the EU i might report this, i will see how it goes and update the post
I work in a very similar industry. I highly doubt that they’re just tossing this stuff. It’s more than likely and inventory reclamation bin, or a they’ll sort this stuff and resale it in a bulk auction.
God that needs to be illegal. All that waste just for greed.
I kinda doubt it’s just being destroyed. I work at an Amazon returns facility and we don’t just destroy stuff. At worst we recycle, liquidate, or donate items if they can’t be resold.
I would start singing one piece at a time by johnny cash and take my big lunchbox since amazon wouldn’t miss couple of bucks in parts, i would have ddr4 on ddr5 mobo a 10th gen on a 14th gen board, gpu that’s using a different connector, cpu cooler for a gpu and a cpu cooler for a gpu most of the things wouldn’t fit but i would solder them on somehow turn that weird thing on and cause the grid to overload since i took a three phase psu, the feds came knocking since the grid is out but my pc is chugging along cause i got that plutonium powered ups, now i gotta ask why are they here are they here for my pc or my ups or that weird looking gm from ’51,’52,’53,’54,’55,’56,’57,’58,’59,…
Instead of saying: “you’re all working your Ass Off, you’ll get 50/60% Off everything you’re seeing Here at this Position, Take whatever you Like” they rather destroy It 😮💨
This hurts my soul wtf.
Depending on the state or country where this is being done, the reason may be insurance or vendor contract related.
why not just give it away…?
It happens a lot. Manufacturers will partially credit unsold items in a buyback, but not actually want the stuff back. Or a pencil pusher will do math and decide it’s cheaper to throw out then sit on it.
I currently have that mobo. Pretty solid for OC and the bios is nice. Also tons of usb ports. Definitely overpriced but I decided to go big when I got the 13900k
Pitomci jsou to, taková zatracená škoda… Proč to vůbec musí takhle likvidovat, to je to neprodejný, nebo co?
Kamo kdyby tam bylo něco dobrého tak koupim kdyz tak napiš
This makes me so angry as a PC gamer and someone that cares about the environment.
to je v cesku?
This hurts. It’s like with supermarkets throwing away perfectly good to eat products that are only within 2 weeks until their “expiration” date
They don’t discard it get bought in bulk then sold as Amazon pallets
