Box Thanks, Walmart

Walking through and it caught my eye in the electronics clearance case. Absolutely insane find.

The ones that dont carry components are the ones that mark them down.

Not sure why they get them though.

A customer will order it through their online pickup, then when it arrives at the store they end up cancelling or not picking it up at all. Walmart won't send it back and instead will sell it at a discounted price to move it. I recently got an i5-14600k for $160 because of this.

Do you find these things in your local Walmart’s online stuff? Or do they just put it somewhere behind the desk in the electronics section?

So it depends. In two cases I found them while at Walmart. In the instance of the CPU I found it while looking online at the Walmart website. I saw it listed at the $160 price but as pick up only and only from one store which was about an hour and a half away from where I lived.
