Walmart listed the Zenith Extreme for $26. I purchased two just to explore. It’s unclear if I’ll find a better deal or get a refund.
Absolutely, that sounds unrealistic. It’s about $500 for a whole board.
Storefront holds a solid 50% positive score. Most listings from questionable eBay vendors exceed 90% ratings. Things could go wrong, but you might still recover your investment.
It might actually be genuine and they’ll accept it since it matched the listed price. Last year on Newegg, an Apex IX was offered for $89 and shipped; I ordered two just to test. A week later, everything arrived in my room—both boards were marked “Good.”
Third-party vendors can also list products on the Walmart Marketplace, similar to eBay. I checked the seller profile (likely TPM), which offers a 30-day return window, but their feedback isn’t very reassuring. Ah, @FakeNSA caught me before I could react.
The seller holds 39 five-star ratings, most of which seem questionable and some odd. There are also 37 one-star reviews claiming the item never arrived. I’m pretty sure you lost your money. I’m unsure if Walmart offers buyer protection for third-party sellers on their site. Also, it shouldn’t take more than 10 days to ship, since most Walmart sellers deliver directly and usually within 2–3 days, while some third parties ship themselves—typically getting free standard shipping in the US in about 4–5 days. I’d expect a maximum of 7 days, especially if the seller mentions 10. I’m wondering if this actually happened. I’ve seen a similar case where I received an 8700k brand new for $40 plus shipping after it was listed at $36.90 instead of $369 soon after release. I waited three days and found it was a brand-new, unopened unit—definitely possible. However, that was a mistake by the major retailer, so they honored it. This situation strongly suggests a scam.
Yes, it's a scam. I reviewed the site. You won't likely receive your money back or the product. Notify your bank about the incident—they might cover you and assist with disputes. Ensure the seller doesn't have access to your account details or address. Good luck.
