Who said I was marking them up? You always think the worst of everyone here. Maybe go outside and get some fresh airWhy didn't you just let people buy their own versus your markup? This is why I personally don't post deals anymore.

In Samir's defense, buying in bulk then marking up the price and selling on forums, etc. is all too common. It's especially bad when someone buys out the entire inventory of an item solely to mark them up and resell them.
Well, I'd missed the original sale by about 5 minutes it seems. So, please post here & let us know when you put these up on Reddit for ~$15.
I'd like to buy one.
Sounds like sour grapes . Who might that "someone" be, Dude [inside-
] ?(Anyone we know, @Sleyk ?)

Why would you just buy them for the purpose of reselling them? And they have to be more expensive unless you're eating the cost of logistics--this is just the way distribution works.
Interesting that you mention I'm thinking the worst because that seems to be what you are doing (projection?). These are some of the smartest and nicest people I've worked with in the homelab community.
Mine is out for delivery so as mentioned earlier in the thread it seems they sucked it up and followed through, taking a hit to avoid an ebay strike or reputational hit. Or maybe they are just nice guys? Agreed that this was a steal of a deal though. Thanks @PaulW08!
Well I just got the package. They sent two pci brackets…
“Thank you for contacting us. I am not sure what happened here, but these brackets are what we were selling for $13.99. The order process is automated and this is what were were prompted to send. I do understand that you expected these LSI cards but the fact is we don't even carry these. We are very sorry this happened and will go ahead and refund you in full now. There will be no need to return the brackets received.“
Enjoy your brackets everyone! @cw823 I hope you pass along the good fortune still

"OK boys, company meeting. Who is responsible for this mess? Was Frank in charge of new listings again? What can we do to make sure we don't look like an asshole when we don't honor this deal?"
"How about the old "internal system error" routine? We can just send them some cheap piece of crap that looks like it could be confused with what we listed?"
"Sounds like wrap! Also, Frank, you're fired!"

And after they went to all the bother of (photographing?) and posting a picture of something "they don't even have".
So, its either that they don't stock it but they use other people's photos (of the wrong product no less) without attribution....or...they didn't want to honor the price. Either way....fail!
Well, @chrgrose never said they were brackets for that card. Just that they were brackets...so I suppose its a valid question, eh?
FYI, I designed a basic 80mm fan shroud for this card in Fusion 360 if anyone wants to 3D print one. The retention lugs are not very big, but mine hasn't fallen off yet.
