Today's dodgy purchase comes from a marketplace that is often hit or miss, at least in my experience, so I was intrigued to see what was going to turn up after purchasing a heavily discounted Intel Core i9 9900K online.
Thanks for watching :)
You are the world record holder for owning the most expensive Intel Celeron CPU.
Well, in the end he got it for free so not really

Many Supercomputers run on simple Celeron cores!
@@lucasrem Probably more expensive, both total and per core, but they have a ton of cores and Xeon branding. That makes a huge difference when considering their value.

Now he has the money to buy 185 Celeron E1500's and sell them for 185 pounds each. A new Steve Jobs is born.
He got refunded at the end

Ivan Popov hello friends
you get CPU, get your money back, get content for a video and make more money out of them. now that's what I call a win
Its just 1 video worth of 100k views. Its not really that much money.....
RUclips isnt as profitable as you think it is, they keep a good chuck of the ad revenue money, and very often your videos can get demonetized for no damn reason at all, not to mention that if youtube finds you offensive in some way, your entire channel could be gone tomorrow.
And of course, lets not forget the fact that the scammers themselves can easily flag your videos for harassment, and youtube will of course strike your channel and assume you are guilty, until you prove your innocence.
Great place to be, huh?

@@morpheas768 You would be surprised what kind of ad revenue you can get from tech content, you get much better ad payment rates depending on what content you produce and tech content is at least a little higher up the ladder.
Of course it is not going to be too crazy, but someone else showed that they can get a couple of hundred from a single 100k video, although will depend on time of year and other factors, but they don't get anywhere near the top level adsense rates as they do general content. Not terrible for a days revenue really.
Yeah a guy with not even half a mill subs... Yeah he's definitely a lowkey millionaire off of his RUclips videos
I am surprised Witcher 3 even started up with that thing lol.
I bet my BSEL modded Intel Pentium E2160 would play The Witcher 3 pretty well but my vmodded ATi HD4670 doesn't support DX11. I have my studio tour and gaming setup video on my channel.

Maybe, maybe not.
£185 for a Celeron? Intel weren't even charging that when they first brought the CPU out!!!!
Yes, but the scammer sold it as an i9 9900k, not a Celeron.
I'm guessing this whole scam operation works like this:
They list a crappy cheap CPU as a super high-end CPU such as an i9 9900k, someone foolish enough buys it, thinking they got a great deal, then they change the listing, editing the post to remove any "i9" references, and if the buyer complains, they tell them that this was never meant to be an i9, just an overpriced item that technically no one has to buy.
The reason that this youtuber got his money back, was because he threatened legal action, and the scammer probably didnt want to risk being taken to court for that, although if they were any smart they'd know that its financially not worth it taking someone to court for 185 pounds.
AMD is a bigger crook. AMD tried to sell the FX9590 for $900.
LOL gotta sell my loose no box i9 cpu bra i'm moving and cant take it with me.. WHERE THE FK this guy moving?!?! to home less?
I mean, he could have been selling an entire machine part by part, dont know why you would do that but people are weird. Obviously that wasn't the case but you see what i mean
He's moving to the lost city of Atlantis and can't take the chip underwater. Understandable.
Just put that shit in your pocket. It might get damaged, but considering he seemingly threw it in the air and took a picture as it was falling back down I don't think he's concerned about that.
Homeless from buying an i9
I think he is Ant-Man and was using the i9 as Shelter but needs to move to an AMD Ryzen 9 so is selling the Intel Core i9 house (It does cost as much as a house To be honest).
The fact you got your money back and scammed the scammer out of the cpu is funny af.
Maybe the term "Celeron" was understood by the seller as "sell her on" - meaning "sell the CPU to someone else"? Thats what they tried for a "little profit" ;-)
Well the Seller did say DUO TO MOVING as if giving a stupid clue that it is fake, maybe to try stop actual tech nerds from buying it (as like in this case they know how to get refunded where a non-tech person may not).
My mind is blown by the fact that they actually refunded you
I Scored an O'l School, Dell Latitude d630 on eBay for $21 USD including delivery! Dropped in a 240gb SSD ($28) from MicroCenter.com, & 4gb of ram (eBay) off a slow boat from China, & loaded a bootleg copy of Win10 Pro! She's built like a Tank & as thick as a phonebook, but she Runs like a Champ!

You should have gotten the police involved from the beginning
The police dont bother with scams like these. Hell the minimum for even consideration of police involvement is £100K+. The police are already overloaded with fraud and those ones are multi million pound ones. This will never be investigated by any police department.

I have an E3300 from my second PC, now is retired, which I have pushed from 2.5ghz to 3.2 , quite the boost considering it was on one of those cheap motherboards that comes with prebuilt PCs. You should've tried to push the E1500 to it's limit.

I've seen a bunch of GTX 1050 TI's turn up on ebay, for around £40 but with this in the description "Note: modified card, the product performance can reach 80% of the original card." also mentions that they have 1GB VRAM rather than 4GB. Most of these are from china even though you set filters to UK Only(Also Buy it Now and lowest to highest price). Go buy one of them and find out what it actually is, is it an older card with a flashed bios or what? They also mention it CAN NOT play PUBG
Most likely a flashed 550 Ti, theres been a flood of them over the last year or so.
I've seen cards like these being GTS 450, GTX 550Ti and other old mid range nvidia cards...
It is possible to get that kind of computing power cheap if you're smart about which older processors to buy. I got a dual Xeon from the Sandy-Bridge era for what would be 147 pounds. An i9-9900k has a passmark of 21204 and my pair has a passmark of 19506. Also there's the point that you need a matching motherboard. Your celeron won't work in the same board as an i9-9900k I bet (but I'm not gonna bother to look it up). Of course mine doesn't have anything like the single threaded performance of an i9... Also I get a cinebench R15 of 2200
Hey Steve, can you please review and ryzen 3 2200g and it's Radeon Vega 8 graphics?
he did that a while ago
@@bluescluessuperagent How did that fly under my nose!
You can also tell by the shape of the heat spreader. Today's modern Intel Chips have the green pcb all the way around it. This chip does not. Also more modern Intel chips have additional gold markings all the way around it. Even though you can't identify the chip by looking at the writing on the heat spreader. These also leave clues as to what socket this CPU belongs to.
This is not the worst case scenario. Try buying a cpu on aliexpress and the like. You get a decent replica of the original Intel blue box, the cpu fits in LGA1151v2 socket, the lid on the cpu says i9 9990k, you try to boot a pc with it , and it really works. You open CPU-Z to check the specs, and they do match! But when you start benchmarking it, it shows a performance of a 8th or 9th generation Intel celeron processor. But the thing is that most people who fall for this don't even benchmark their cpus, nor they use CPU-Z. And they really think that they got the real thing for a cheap price.
I have used Facebook Marketplace a few times (am using it right now to sell a Laptop) but I ONLY sell stuff BY HAND (Collection in person, Cash in hand) as I KNOW I have the money.
The same goes for buying stuff from other people, I want to test and use the product first before I even think about paying for it.
This is why I prefer FB, Gumtree and so on over Ebay, Amazon because with those you mostly CAN'T test the product and in many cases have to deal with fraud BUYERS (people who buy your thing that you KNOW is working, they remove a drive or something and tell Ebay you sold them something broken so you often have to Refund but they often KEEP the thing they removed, mostly Ram, SSD's and so on, this actually happened on this Channel once.).
I am wanting to sell a Surface Book 1 Laptop (2015) but they still sell for up to £1,000, Imagine if I sold it and then Ebay told me to REFUND the money before the seller gave me the laptop back, I have just lost £1K and the £1K Laptop... Like above, I will ONLY SELL it IN Person and after I have been given the CASH in hand (NOT a bank transfer since they can often be cancelled meaning again, you will NOT be paid).
2:55 - Linus, is that you?
Intel Celeron inside!
I'm shocked dude sent you your money back lol. I buy dirt cheap old Phemom and Athlon CPUs on eBay all the time because im weird and I quite enjoy delidding them and applying liquid metal and overclocking them to their absolute limit.
Or cooking a strip of bacon on an FX 6300.
I knew by the picture it was a LGA 775 CPU. The black spot on the bottom with the white letters is another identifier of the age of the chip even though the picture is blurred.
So how did you stop someone from falling for this scam? Couldn't they have many i9 CPUs for sale?
I loved the "Celeron pff" at the end AHAHAHHA Im so in love with your videos thou xd so interesting and fun to watch
The little guitar is amazing in the background :)
The celeron e1200 was the best overclocking cpu percentage wise that I have ever owned. I overclocked it from stock 1.6ghz to a little over 3.4ghz. It ran stable 24/7 until I upgraded.
Temps? Also, did you use a motherboard with a lot of OC features?
@@koushiroizumi0 I don't remember the temps, a cheap $39.99 Gigabyte G31 motherboard that had OC'ing did the trick.
Yep, did same on ebay. Good thing is they would have refunded if seller didnt in any case, but just say as it is, false advertising, you should be able to get refunded. They actually tried to "solve" the issue i had on a phone refurbished in china, that was definitely blocked and with an italian motherboard, claimed as NEW. Too bad they didnt just sell it for what it was, but guess a phone not able to connect to a network is not really working in the first place
Great video, thanks for showing us about this kind of seller on FB Marketplace... I love the part about BSing the BSer and getting your money back, awesome...
On the Facebook buy/sell groups, they often say to use Paypal goods and services (which does result in a fee for the seller) rather than "friends and family", as f&f is regarded as a gift rather than a trade. You do have some comeback if you pay as "goods and services"
Funny story
I sold a pc to some kid and his dad last year. It was a cheap core 2 quad build with like 8gb ram and a gtx 650 or something
maybe a month later the gpu died. Now I felt bad. He didn't ask for a refund, but he did ask for my help in getting a replacement. I said sure.
However, his budget kept changing. One day he wants to spend $80 and get a gtx 1050 and other days he only had $25 to spend (it was an older dell so it need a single lane no external power card)
Back and forth this went. Eventually I just grabbed him a cheap gtx 745 so he could at least play the game. Kid is coming over to buy said card. But I tell him I want to test thoroughly first. Kid says he's in a hurry. Eventually tells me he can't even wait a few days cause he's moving to Floriday (We are in NY at the time)
So I cave and say sure......silence. Eventually tells me he doesn't need it anymore as he's bought his own gpu a 1050
So I'm stuck with the 745 as I don't want to return it for such a dumb reason to the guy I bought it from
Half a year later, he starts asking me all these questions about how he can upgrade his pc, and I keep telling him no, no it's a core 2 quad, you can't put in an i7....no you can't put in a Ryzen.
He keeps asking if so and so gpu will get him 100fps.....I try to explain that unless he has a high hz monitor, it won't matter much. He replies he got one from Best Buy with an HDMI port......yeah ok
Finally he starts asking me from ram. I tell him yeah I have ram to sell.....but didn't you move to Florida. He's like no. I'm like.....I have the text conversation.
So note......when you no long want something from a person.....don't lie and claim to be moving. I'm a nice guy so I let it pass and will sell him the 16gb ddr3 for cheap, but other people wouldn't
The fun of being a second hand pc seller on local classifieds 😂😂. I often get they are buying the cheapest possible gaming pc then on collection get huffy it doesn't have WiFi 😒
@@danielsummerville6799 yeah, I solved that issue by buying those $1 wifi usb stubs from China in bulk. Throw one of those in so at least it has Wifi lol.
In fact, this exact sale had the person go home and ask about eifi, when I had mentioned in person if you needed an ethernet cable
I think the only time I ever got "conned" on the marketplace was when I bought things where I never checked the used market on CEX, eBay or just generally never bothered to question the price. My own stupidity and someone else's greed meant I was overpaying a lot of the time and only till recently have I always asked if the price was negotiable to see what I could get.
14900KS . sold and shipped by amazon canada , box and cpu lid look good , actual CPU Celeron 6900
He does realize he hasn't saved anyone (who isn't local to him and seen this video)......if the scam involves shipping over some junk cpu.......well dude can just repeat over and over again
exactly, plus hes just feeding into them wanting to do it more, luckily for him he got his cash back. but usually they take the money and run. i wouldn't give the scammer the time of day.
No, but 23k people who may or may not be regular viewers did seen what sort of nonsense happens on the Facebook market place, even if this one was fairly obvious, which hopefully would inspire them to be more cautious.
Also, clearly the seller didn't call his bluff, and is doing this locally, so clearly he isn't all that bright either. That'd be a lot of legwork over 100 and some pounds.
@@ZombieBarioth ....he makes scam videos fairly often so it's not like his audience doesn't know about scams

Back in the days, i bought a Celeron E1200 for my mother, for 30€. The stock clockspeed is 1600MHz and it is a really slow prozessor. The real deal was the ability to overclock this. With a cheap motherboard which went up to 400MHz(1600) FSB, it's clockspeed went up to 3200MHz. That is an impressive 100% overclock. Try that with modern CPU's for a rock stable daily usage. 😉
Sure, you may have doubled the clock speed, but even doubled, it's not that impressive, so your point is moot. For comparison, even my laptop has a 3900MHz processor.
@@JonDoe-wk9qc So please show me, how to nearly double the performance of a modern CPU. It's not about the clockspeed itself. Try to buy a modern CPU for 30€ and overclock it to the performance of the best CPU, with the same core count, you can buy right now.
I think what you need to do to get more subs is get sponsers from pc companies u advertise them and for the payment they give u parts e.g. u advertise msi they give u a gpu meaning u can get better parts making the builds more compelling to viewers.
I work at Cex and I know that we wouldn't do that to you, which is quite sad to hear.
Guys, is it a cultural difference in your country the way used hardware is purchased? in my country it is normal to test almost everything you purchase and actually meeting the sellers face-to-face, his/her place or the buyers house (nothing strange about it), or met middle location.
that's happens in plenty of other places as well
Random drives over and meets people though local selling sites all the time
if anything, it's sorta odd that he would pay anyone over a service like this

Hello, i recently found (a friend recomended to me) a seller here in Serbia selling PCs.He has only positive reviews (about 3000) pf them.I found there a i5 4570/8GB DDR3/RX560 combo for 250$
And also a i5 4570/8GB DDR3/GTX 1060 3GB combo for 300$.
Is that price too low? Seems kind of sketchy but my very good friend bought the RX560 combo and said it is very good.So im asking for your opinion about the price being that low?

Want a cheap Core i9 9900k? Get an e5 1680 v2. 8 cores, 16 threads for ~$250. Maybe even cheaper when companies upgrade their old servers.
Or the 2650 and up and the 4620. But these are just the cheaper variants. Since they are the v1 variant the v2s are most likey 10-cores.

I bought my nintendo switch from facebook market place. It was 1 week after release and they were selling it for $350aud, with like 8 games included. There was nothing wrong with it and I still use it on a daily basis.
You can either be insanely lucky on fb marketplace or get scammed to hell.
Celeron.... You make my day. Facebook Marketplace is a jungle. Interesting that the seller have refund you.
Somebody was selling 2TB flash drives for about $12 on Facebook. I reported it as a scam and Facebook replied that they do not see any issue. They just don't give a shit.
Nice thought, to expose a scam. Unfortunately buying that scam i9 just puts cash in the sellers pocket, and encouraging them to scam others.
With FB marketplace, best to buy local only, then you can at least see items before handing over hard earned cash !
When stuff is like that on Facebook I actually asked them do you have any better pics of the iteam

Great stuff I hope this video helped someone to be more careful when buying
I'm surprised you got your money back good on you

When using Facebook Marketplace, make sure you do cash on deal, you meet the seller face to face, don't buy it online.
I could be wrong but I thought the whole idea behind FaceacheMarketplace was so you could buy things locally. You could waltz up to their front door, look them in the eye and maybe even see their stuff in action. If this is not the case then tell me why you would choose this over ebay??

I wanted to sell my friend a Ryzen 1700 with X370 Fatal1ty board and 16 GB of benchmark tuned RAM (spent 30 hours tuning ram, I'm never doing that again...) for $300 total. So for $800 you'd have 4x 390 8GB with a nice 8c/16t Ryzen with 16 GB RAM (the price includes a brand new SuperNova 1300w, Gold rated fully modular PSU, a brand new NVME SSD, and a brand new 3 TB mechanical HDD, and a cheap case). I'm sure if someone saw that, they'd think its a scam and just buy the junk $1k computers you see for sell all the time....
But I really did figure you found a good deal, or possibly at least one barely holding on from all the abuse on liquid nitrogen (I don't even sell my hardware I do that to. It gets mounted to the wall as a trophy, but even a Titan Xp collectors edition I wouldn't charge over $100 if I've done LN2 sessions on...). Speaking of which... I've got more cards to murder (and I found out I have a Microcenter super nearby, so if I blow up a TR-1950x, its just $500 for a new one, and you can get Ryzen 1700x for $150, and Ryzen 1600 for $99! Its crazy that the 9900k wouldn't cost $200 new with these prices!
Fun fact, Ryzen set the 6 core world records just before official announcement, it certainly competes with Intel. I'm not sure why people pay the premium for the Intel 8 cores (I can probably run faster on my TR-1950x with some aggressive cooling, right now I top out at 4.3 Ghz on a 120mm AIO on a cold day... 16c/32t with quad channel and quad GPU for the win! Also 1950x is cheaper than the 9900k? Intel's loss!)
When the shipping is more expensive than the product it's just getting ridiculous lol
sadly the i9 only cost £200 with £300 case
you not allow to sell the case it priceless
intel made the case more cost than the cpu is
in my country marketplace has good reputation but i think i will stick to buying from store
