Bummer for sure, but there's a reason these threads have the "too good to be true" in them 
.
Ultimately, I think any of us who made a purchase knew where this might go. As long as the seller handles the returns well, I'm ok with having taken the chance.

Yep, same here...E5 2670. I mistakenly thought the package was an SSD I was waiting on and so I opened the package before I started my unboxing video but, I'm not worried, there's literally nothing about my shipment that isn't in my favor. The invoice itself lists E5 2670 8C and it matches the box PERFECTLY. There is NO indication on anything I was shipped that it was the v3 processor or a 12 core cpu, lol. Sending in my return request now.
UPC definitely matches an E5 2670 v3 but everything else is just off.

They told me they couldn't view the picture I submitted. Lol. Same as I posted here.
Supposedly their warehouse will investigate... Ahem. (Sarcasm? Me?) I'm betting warehouse number 2 made the same "mistake", they're due to arrive tomorrow... But didn't ask Fedex to refuse/return to sender, on the off chance that box 1 really was a mistake. (Uh, yeah.)
Funny thing, they immediately left me positive feedback... The attitude and helpfulness involved w the rest of the return process will determine how I word my feedback. Honesty, no doubt... All caps, we'll see.
Frog tech- am curious- did your package come from PA or IL? (First from IL, other from PA) if yours came from PA, I might ought to call fedex and refuse it/return to sender before it arrives.

To be clear- I'm good with taking the chance... But that doesn't mean they didn't try to rip us all off... On purpose or not, we may never know.
That's exactly why the title included "too good to be true?)
In the mean time, it's just a little bit of available credit tied up...

You guys selected something along the lines of "Item not as Described" when you opened your ebay dispute/return case right? Short and to the point reason: "Seller shipped v1, item listed as v3 CPU" Upload picture if you want showing box / mismatch and CPU incorrect.
Yes- same reason.
Odd that they are coming from same seller, but all over the country. Not sure what to think.
Did you guys notice this?

I got one as well after I called them, I spoke to 2 sweet women at the "nothingbutsavings" phone number you can find on google, i'm a little annoyed though, the message says they're waiting on an RMA authorization, to me that implies they act as middle men, listing items and setting up the shipment from an OEM/separate vendor to you which is why they have to get an RMA approval before they can accept an ebay return...that shouldn't even be allowed...
When you "take a chance" on these kinds of long shots do you end up getting stuck for the price of return shipping?
@RobertFontaine not at all, when you initiate a return through ebay for any reason that isn't "no longer needed" you get a prepaid label that doesn't deduct itself from the refund amount.
