https://www.amazon.com/MSI-MPG-B550-Gami...12&sr=8-12 I found this deal on a renewed b550 motherboard on amazon and it seems like an insane deal but the reviews aren't great. Amazon has a wildly easy return policy so it might be worth a shot but i wanted to consult here to see if anyone had experience with something like this.

The motherboard costs $159.99 and feels like a fair deal. It matches what you'd typically find for an Open Box unit from Micro Center.

I purchased many 'renewed' products from Amazon, which seems to mean items that were bought, returned, and then inspected before being resold. The term 'renewed' might be misleading, particularly for a motherboard—what exactly is being renewed? I’m worried about the 90-day warranty; after that period, you won’t get the standard manufacturer coverage. In the first 90 days, Amazon typically handles things smoothly without much hassle. It’s a tricky situation. Personally, I wouldn’t attempt this myself due to the warranty issues. You need to weigh whether the cost savings justify it. Good luck!
