A gamer wanted to stock up on supplies and ordered new RAM. Instead, he accidentally received an entire box of 50 pieces. However, he reported the mistake to the seller. How did it end?
What kind of user is this? We recently reported on MeinMMO about the user who accidentally received a box of RAM. This caused quite a stir, as opposed to other people who might keep such items quietly, this user contacted the seller on Amazon.
The user had posted two pictures on reddit at that time. He explained that he sells starter systems in his shop and also offers practice systems for students who are building a PC system for the first time. Now he wanted to reorder RAM for that purpose. But instead of the ordered goods, he received an entire box of it.
Many users expressed their disbelief at that time as to why someone would report such a “lucky hit” to the seller. Others also stated that such honesty at least deserves respect.
User writes that he can keep the items
How did the seller react? In a later comment, someone from the community asked what had become of the whole action.
The buyer first explained that the seller had not contacted him at first. But eventually, there was a response. He explained on reddit that he could keep the excess RAM, that is, the entire box. He wrote:
Yes, they said we could basically keep it, we can incorporate it into our future starter builds.
Here, it seems that the honesty of the “finder” was rewarded. Nevertheless, this outcome is likely surprising, as it concerns goods worth several hundred euros that the seller must now write off.
Honesty deserves respect, but the action cannot really be verified
Can this be verified? No, we have to trust the user’s statement that the seller transferred the RAM to him at no extra cost. There is also no picture of the email exchange or the name of the seller.
It remains unclear whether he might have just made up the entire situation with the call to the seller. In the case of another user who also received way too much RAM, many suspected that the user might have worked in a warehouse.
Such actions, where people receive too many items, happen repeatedly, by the way. But legally, the issue is significantly more complicated. Especially if someone wants to keep the items quietly. You can find more about this in the following article on MeinMMO:
