Got a kick out of this listing.
Not only is it an ATX PSU, but what is up with the photo of his hallway?

Obviously the PSU is around the corner at the first door on the right.

It didn't sell for 699 Pounds, so it clearly wasn't exclusive enough. Up to 799!

^^ I honestly don't know if these sellers are just cynically trying to cash in on a fad, or if they really are that delusional & genuinely think their junk is worth those kinds of prices. Don't these people understand depreciation?? It's getting towards Poe's Law territory at this point.

Also I REALLY hope the original box for my GUS PnP is still kicking around in a rubbermaid tote in my storage area, because holy dollar-signs-for-pupils cash bonanza if I find it. 😜 (Kidding - I'm still using the card.)

I've seen that a lot lately. If it doesn't sell for 100$ what makes you think it will sell better for 125$? Honestly, I don't understand this way of thinking 😕 .
