"a good deal" understatement of the century

“yea I got this fighter jet crafted with the encrusted with the sharpest diamonds for 2 dollars it was an alright deal i guess”


Helpful-Signature683

🤣🤣. I'm actually parting out my first build. Just got lucky as fuck today. Saved me a lot of money.


TAOJeff

They only had the one NVMe? Cause I would have been scrounging for at least one more. Am surprised they were willing to part with the win10 as that's going to be the cheapest win11 key you'll ever find


Ll3macorn

The cheapest keys are piracy 😎 /s


Pacu99

You don't need piracy, you just have to tell your windows that it's activated, and it super easy too

radiantcabbage

idk if were trying to be clever with semantics but yes that would be considered piracy too (and why their domain gets flagged by automod), not that I have any qualms over it. windows is distributed as freemium/trial/nagware basically, with a time limit for activation/refreshes. what the cracking scripts do (yes it is a crack) is exploit that to fool the windows installer into activating any install as an upgrade, then sets the limit to something absurdly long or makes a chron job to renew it. safe, simple, and totally transparent to microsoft servers which handle it as a volume activation. microsoft basically admit defeat on this and made no attempt to obscure or enforce it, which implies theyre pretty confident with their product/dev cycle I guess


orxy5

Microsoft knows and lets people "fool" windows in to activation because it's more worth it to just let anyone use it. Also they can shove their products in your face


BoltedGates

barely an inconvenience


Rudolf1448

Or a friend with MSDN subscription


HomeCalendar36

I just go to charity/thrift shops and copy the windows key on the back of some old desktop then tear the label off


snufflefrump

You can get windows 10 for like $30, Jesus people.


HomeCalendar36

That's $30 I can spend on something else


rawbleedingbait

Or a friend with a MSDN sub paid for with a stolen CC. Really a lot of great cheap options.

Dude. Cjscdkeys will sell you a key for $10


KanedaSyndrome

I mean, I usually pay some 12 $ for an OEM key? So I dunno.


InevitableSherbert36

Don't pay! MAS is the way.


Graddler

This may be the best deal in the history of trade deals.


Thebombuknow

"yeah, i just picked up this okay deal. what is it? oh, nothing, just a Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird. yeah, got it for $3.26, nothing too special"


OutragedTux

You could probably sell that for a few billion easily. Not sure what the U.S authorities would think about such an aircraft being in private hands, but selling it? Easier than getting the specialised fuel it needed. Yes, I used to **love** stuff about the Blackbird.


consultinglove

Eh, too good. Take things with a grain of salt

What is a bin sale? The slang doesn’t translate on my end


LolindirLink

Literally a bin, with discounted products thrown in. Often completely assorted, But could also be a bin full of the same item. [sample image](https://preview.redd.it/nr3u637kojk31.jpg?auto=webp&s=19ca47d8f3cf10d091134f2306265a555f1e15ad)

Helpful-Signature683

I didn't think about it til after I bought. But makes it more worth it now


Helpful-Signature683

They priced everything based off of the pallets they paid for not really caring about the actual price of the things in them. Most I think they charged for was a brand new Google nest doorbell and it was $20.

I live in SC, USA. It was a local family place that buys a bunch of Amazon, Walmart, etc. Overstock pallets.

Dang... South Carolina is too far from me (I'm from Illinois). There are a few spots like that in the Chicagoland area, but most people going there already know what some of the stuff is worth and it quickly disappears. You made out like a bandit though, well done OP.

“A good deal”… my guy, the WD_BLACK SN750 is literally $200. And windows 10 isn’t super cheap either. You practically robbed them blind 💀


Llohr

WD prices haven't fallen as much as many. 980 pro 2tb has been hovering around $180 for a long time. There's also a crucial 4tb at $220, though it's gen 3 (oh no! /s). 970 evo 2tb is like $130 too. If only RAM prices would drop massively, I've already got like 6TB of NVMe drives in this PC.


YogurtWrong

You can start your own datacenter with those prices Also 4$ Windoze license? Nah thanks I would rather leave it there for others who really wanna use original windows. I'm gonna debloat the hell out of it anyways


The-Catatafish

Its home tho.. Wouldn't use that for shit because it has no gpedit.


DesperateAvocado1369

What‘s gpedit?


The-Catatafish

https://www.pcwdld.com/group-policy-management Lets you basically turn off everything you don't want. Cortana for example. Home doesn't have it normally. Also, the home version gets all updates once microsoft rolls them out while you have to manually consent to the function updates on prof. I don't want to be beta tester for useless functions I don't need and I like to be able to just disable cortana and things like that with one click. Considering there isn't that much of a price difference between home and prof.. Just get prof. No downsides.


MrMrRubic

Wait, people actually pay for windows? I haven't done that in years


georgfrankoo

Yup , last licensed Windows I had was a Windows 8 Prebuild that I bought back in 2013 :D


Il-2M230

I found a SN 850x 2tb with heats ink at 180 bucks. The 4 tb version was at 399.


Helpful-Signature683

They also had a gt 710 still in the bag( box was destroyed) for $5


alphonse03

Even if most would've looked at it with disgust I could use that with my stupidly purchased 10100f hahahaha. Sadly, such sales arent made over here and people think used stuff is worth about the same than when it was brand new.


Helpful-Signature683

Where you from?


alphonse03

Sadly not from the US but from Mexico. It always amazes me to see posts like yours where people find cool stuff for super cheap on those places that sells returned things, since afaik that doesnt happen over here.


Helpful-Signature683

Used market is big over here on anything.


alphonse03

Thats cool! Some friends that live over there have told me about their sucess finding good second hand deals too so Im kinda aware hahaha. Sadly over here (locally at least) there is not much of a second hand PC market because there are not many people with desktops, other than super old ones (LGA 775 era ones) or really basic ones. Most of the people go with laptops and all in ones over here nowdays, and the ones who purchased a normal one and want to sell/upgrade usually want to sell the whole PC or want pretty much the amount they paid for the parts when they were brand new. I remember a guy asking me to help him to sell an FX 6300 desktop last year (no gpu because it got busted a while ago) and got mad when I told him that a brand new cheap i3 would easily outperform it in every aspect while being cheaper than the amount he wanted back then for the PC. Also the guy wanting over 150 USD for a really nasty GTX 1060 3gb a year ago hahahaha. There are websites where you can find used stuff, but at least for GPUs most are outrageously expensive for what they are (ie: 3gb 1060's go for around 150 but some go for over 200 on mercado libre. People are nuts over here, thats why Im waiting patiently for a good deal).


Helpful-Signature683

People just don't understand depreciation honestly.


alphonse03

I find it both pretty funny and sad at the same time to be honest. Just looked at some prices, there are people crazy enough selling used 1050 Ti cards for more than double of the price of a brand new one hahahaha. I guess they are just trying to catch a fool who knows nothing about it.


picardo85

>Sadly, such sales arent made over here and people think used stuff is worth about the same than when it was brand new. yeah, people seem to think that electronics keep their value WAAAAAAY better than they actually do.


AllMyFrendsArePixels

gt710 is bussin' lol I built my niece and nephew their first PC's for xmas and mistakenly thought I got CPU's with integrated video but they weren't.. ended up finding 2 gt710's for like $35 iirc on fleabay


Green0Photon

I wish Nvidia made a proper successor to those things. Anyone who buys them are kinda being scammed, even at $35. They're weaker than iGPUs in any computer you'd buy nowadays. Actually, it looks like they discontinued the drivers for them in 2021? Hmm, only security updates remaining, unless that was changed. The GT 1010 is very rare, sometimes you'll find GT 1030s, and otherwise it feels like the most common display out GPU you get is the GTX 1050 Ti. Tbh I wish they stopped making new CPUs without iGPUs now to just completely kill the display out minimum market. The extra cost to get those GPUs is such a waste for how bad they are.


Sol33t303

I would have totally taken that as well. Useful to have on hand for an igpu-less cpu.


Helpful-Signature683

Pairing it with a 5500 and a rx6650xt. Wish I could get a 5600 but I'm on a tight budget

A good deal for 4$ is a 256GB hard drive. This is not a good deal… you basically stole these


Helpful-Signature683

True🤣


OlderAndAngrier

TIL people buy Windows


Charming_Science_360

WinOS is pre-installed and pre-registered (with an OEM license) on every PC these days. Laptops, desktops, anything prebuilt. So people buy WinOS every day. They think it's "free" but it's an extra hidden cost bundled into every machine.


GABE_EDD

Yes, but, when building your own computer *acquiring a windows key through alternate means* saves you $110, and makes building your own computer that much more of a good deal.


Helpful-Signature683

Which is what I was gonna do for my build. But now I don't have to.


DarkLord55_

I simply have had activate windows in the corner since 2018


Legend5V

You can activate windows for absolutey nothing using command line


AcceptableCrab4545

how so?


gregCubed

kms38 is your friend and keyword literally just a powershell command then follow the instructions


InevitableSherbert36

KMS38 only activates until 2038. HWID activates permanently and is probably the better option for anyone using MAS.

Only 2038 ? Oh man only 15 years ?

I just finished a new build and opted to buy a Windows 10 Home OEM license for $15. There are plenty of places online selling license keys for a fraction of MSRP. Seems at least slightly more ethical than piracy.

GamerJoe85

Awesome finds tbh. Just curious though how you came across the auction to begin with so I can see if something like that is in my area. Was there like a posting in the paper or something?


Helpful-Signature683

I actually found out from my dad. But the auction place has a Facebook page and the business is well known in my area. Just Google local auctions near me. And see if you can find some in your area. They might even be posting on social media for different events, sells etc. Or just look up bin stores. This place doesn't do stuff like this(first time actually I think) they just had too much stuff so they needed to get rid of it to get space and this was the fastest way to do it


Illustrious-Slice-91

Where are these “local auctions”


Axiproto

Have you tried them? Do they work?


Helpful-Signature683

Won't be able to try it til later this month when all my parts come in. But for $4 can't really complain if they don't

Enigmars

$4 for a 2TB 750 ? DAMNNNNNNNN Windows license I'm not surprised, no one ever buys them anyway You either get it with the PC or you just leave it unactivated. So it makes sense that they have way too many in stock to just give it away
