So how did u/tdcdude17 manage to get it for $900 less? It turns out the Costco store they visited had the prebuilt gaming PC listed as the last display unit. Retailers often discount such units to clear out inventory and make room for newer products. However, it’s worth noting that display units may not be in brand-new condition and could be missing original packaging or accessories. In fact, the Reddit thread includes a photo showing the PC strapped into the back seat of a car without its original box.

We spotted a similar instance last year where a Reddit user managed to score a high-end gaming PC featuring an Intel Core i9-14900KS, an RTX 4070 Ti Super, and 64GB of DDR5 memory for just $600 from a pawn shop, despite the system being valued at over $2,500. The interesting bit is that the memory kit alone was reportedly worth close to the purchase price of the entire PC.

In another case, a buyer in the UK snagged a flagship prebuilt PC worth nearly $5,000 for around $2,400 at Costco . The system included top-tier components such as an RTX 5090, a Ryzen 7 9800X3D, 64GB of DDR5 memory, and a 2TB SSD, essentially offering premium hardware at nearly half the expected price.
