If it was really just as easy as ordering 10,000 units and they'll ship them right out to you, I don't think places like Newegg, Bestbuy, and Microcenter and even eVGA would be having problems keeping stock on the shelves.

Don’t know how legit this is but miners over on Reddit suggest some sellers are legit... I’m skeptical but I hate spending money :shrug:

I would not trust my money with that kind of stuff, but to each their own. Best to stick with the proper shipped and sold by Amazon/Best Buy channels, etc.
