I Can’t Believe These are Real - Reacting to Ridiculous PCs on Craigslist

For those of you saying we have the wrong winner on some of these, Linus declares 'Price is Right' rules early on, which means we're looking for the closest price without going over.

Thank goodness Core Ultra is totally less confusing and will fix this. Right? Riiiiight?!

For EU prices, parts tend to cost ~25% more or so. So that German builder with the custom water-loop didn't charge that much for the labor.

Elijah absolutely nailed that "Oh no, dad's mad again!" comment. Priceless:face-blue-smiling:

8:40 That was peak "dad angry about the price of something" though. Reminds me of my dad... who is an accountant, so you can imagine how those conversation went in our family.

People really keep up pandemic pricing 4 years on

Editor did an amazing job highlighting what they're talking about. This video was amazingly easy to follow and funny too. Great video!

It's frustrating when sellers aren't upfront about their products, hoping to hoodwink less informed buyers.

for the PC from Germany at 12.44 it is important to mention that PC components can be significantly more expensive in Germany so the price more justified

Yeah, after reading some of the comments I have reached the conclusion that outside the USA and Canada, PC components are significantly more expensive, even in Europe.

Love their banter. We need more of those

19:37 "I think the viewer won" Thanks Elijah

Hey, South African here, I run a retail store in SA. That GPU is brand new, but the price is still nuts. It's factory sealed with three year warranty, and the distributor has had that stock since new. They don't drop pricing on old stock, so if you keep hunting you'll also find the likes of brand new MSI GeForce 9800 GT, Abit Radeon X800, Celeron 347, Operton 940, etc, all priced the way they were when released. That 780 Ti is still crazy though, even based on the insane cost pricing. The seller is trying to make a cool 60% markup (108.6% if you go by the "normal" price). It's on Takealot (our equivalent of Amazon) by a third-party seller, ironically called "Daily Deals Online" - LOL!

6:15 That Boeing joke went way under most peoples radar. Gold comedy Linus *chefs kiss

This is one of my recent favorites for sure 😁 Goofy fun with all of them together and all the silly sass going on is fantastic.

The PC at 12:44 ... all the hardware together adds up to that 3500,- EUR (just threw it together at an german retailer) and custom loops aren't done in a few hours. You also have to consider the time when he bought it. All in all i think he paid more than 3500,- for the hardware alone in 2022 and now sells it at 10-15% discount because of age, also not including his working hours. Hardware in europe is waaaaay more expensive than on your continent.

1:57 THAT AIN'T A 4070 TI,it's an Old Strix card,prob a scam

The one at 13:37 isn't even priced too crazy, parts are more expensive here already due to import tax. After which sellers up to price to make some more profit AND THEN there is also 19% VAT on top of that price. Oo, and prices are sometimes also extra inflated due to the price & demand of the market being different here. Found this out the hard way when looking for best GPUs under $1000, checking the cheapest retailer and it being €1289, so around $1400...

The editing on this video was fantastic - super funny. Great job team!

Love the editing of the video LOL! also "Get a new computer" as Linus stares at the camera! so true
