Why are there so many Failed/Bad Xeon Scalable 1st & 2nd Gen CPUs on eBay?

This would really only work for items that are truly "server" parts. SATA drives, consumer CPUs, non-ECC RAM, etc., likely wouldn't see much of a dent from losing business from all STH members. Even for true "server" parts, is STH big enough to make a dent?

I think the STH Effect™ can attest to that.

I think @zeynel alone has spent 10k+ € on certain items

All that shows is that STH members jump on deals. What we don't know is what happens to total sales for an eBay seller if no STH members buy from them. Perhaps it only takes a week more to sell out the stock of the item. The eBay seller wouldn't care about that.
