Seller is ANTonline, a legit seller. (I've bought processors from them before.)

They got their own store: https://www.antonline.com/

Funny the things I learn here every day

I'm guessing that people buying these are scarce, and they bought far too many.

Or AMD sent every retailer a memo that a better silicon revision is on the way

Maybe you guys can help me understand - why does antonline sell it cheaper on eBay than its own store? Will it come with warranty since it is on eBay?

 

[igor_kavinski]

Because their store may not show up in Google searches but someone searching for 7950X on Ebay WILL see that they have a great price. Also, since they are not that well-known, buyers may prefer to buy from them on Ebay due to the buyer protection.

I understand why they want to list it on eBay for the customers reach, but why selling for more on their own site? And also there is at least a 5% eBay fees on top of that.

As I said, they know something we don't so trying to get rid of their stock ASAP!

Didn't answer the question but thanks for the post. It is tempting, nonetheless.

They might have a MAP (minimum asking price) agreement, as Antonline.com, but it could be more of a free-for-all on ebay. They may have just wanted sales.

Oh, I think you are probably right on this one. I am just worried AMD may not provide the warranty since it is an eBay purchase, even though it is an authorized reseller.

 

[VirtualLarry]

As long as you buy it from an authorized reseller, I don't think that they can deny your warranty just because you bought it off of an ebay listing, rather than through the reseller's own web shop. Save your proof-of-purchase, because ebay only saves it for two years back.

That being said, although non-zero probability, I've never had to return a CPU for RMA. (Although, I should probably have returned my Zen1 early-version chips, because they had a fault that they would reboot under continuous heavy load.) Oh well.

So, maybe there's a new stepping coming out, and they want to clear inventory of the initial stepping? Who knows, it's a possibility.

I did have an Intel 7900x that was DOA for me. Intel replaced it based on serial number.
