i mean i feel like this is worth it because that is a lot of boxes and if you wanted that many 4090 boxes you would have to pay a lot of money so

Nothing new… problem is not the seller, but people who are just to dumb to read the full description.

I see two types looking for these….
1) People do that often as a GPU is easier to sell with box than without and many people toss or mangle their boxes not thinking about resale down he road, not a slight, just an observation.
2) Another issue is dirtbags buy these and then scam folks on FB/offerup/etc sales where they ghost after purchases. They might put a heatsink with no GPU in the box or you may get a completely different card or just a brick, all of the above have occurred sadly. Or They will send it back to Amazon (same scenario) for refund and get a free card and another person gets their results..

Worth it to scammers selling BS on Amazon

At least they are upfront. See way to many sales for boxes lead with the product name and then in the description or subtitle say it’s just the box. Should be obvious from the price difference, but better for sales to be as transparent as possible.

$100 for all? Honestly could be worse people pay out the nose for boxes of things. Probly go for $20-30 a piece on ebay.

A smart man might be able to haggle this down a bit

Someone posted a picture of a dumpster full of high-end GPU boxes not long ago… Humm….

This is how you got scalper bots
Also, people buy the boxes – ive sold some before and used parts back in the original box gets higher resale value.

It’s probably the scammers that are selling the 4090s without a GPU.

I’ll sell someone my 4090 tuf box for $50 this is a real deal guys this box is 1 of 10000 like it you don’t want to miss this chance to own your very own 4090 box you can show off to all your friends and pretend you bought a real one!!!
Edit: You know what screw it for an extra $10 I’ll throw in the little GPU holo card that it came with and even the stand but wait that’s not all I’ll even include an autographed note card.
All that for only $60?!?!?

Do people sell these so that people can put fake products in an original looking box to defraud someone with?

Nvidia stole my box when my 4090 melted and I sent it away, I bought one of a guy on eBay for $25. I don’t regret it.

A few weeks ago I needed the box of my PNY RTX 4070Ti Super, so I wrote PNY a nice E-mail. They sent me the box for free with package tracking in the matter of 1 week. Try this out before you buy this stuff.

People who make tech youtube videos might use these for set dressing to look more established

It clearly labeled so it’s fine. If someone really expects a 4090 for $100 when it says “boxes” in the title I don’t know what to tell you.

this post made me look for a Asus 1050Ti box on eBay because I have one laying around. $23 Cad for the box, $33 Cad for shipping.. Why $33 for shipping for an empty box!? Would be US to Canada shipping.

I remember seeing Ebay listings for an “XBox box”. I think it was taken down since it looked like a typo. The description was along the same tactic.
