My local Walmart started selling PC components

Discussion

I don’t know when they started doing this, but I’m baffled.

WTF, my Walmart is selling PC components, including a 7800X3D?
They sell GPUs, PSUs, CPUs, RAM, and a compatible motherboard, but they don’t have coolers or cases, unless you get a CPU that comes with one in the box. They even have case fans, but no cases.
They have a display tag for what looks like an Intel i9-14900K but no compatible motherboard.
There is DDR4 RAM on display next to DDR5 RAM but no compatible motherboards (I’m assuming you’d pair it with maybe a prebuilt they sell next to them, but I don’t think a sales rep will know the difference or know enough to say which one to use.

Half of them are so obese they're in wheelchairs

A lot of time the wheelchair (or disability in general) comes first. A lot easier to get fat when it's hard or even painful to do anything physical and food might be one of the few simple pleasures they have.

I don't know if it's elephantiasis or what but it's insane. He cuts the bottoms of his pants so his pumpkin ankle can fit through it. He's a nice guy though so I feel bad talking about it but holy shit it's weird as hell

Ehhh...they really shouldn't be relying on that, if so. Unless you sign a membership contract that explicitly allows receipt checks (e.g. Costco, Sam's), they can't force you to show receipts upon exit without probable cause that you are attempting to steal merchandise. Just having some dude at the door to check all receipts is not legally protected.

ohheyheyCMYK

Kroger is trying to implement that shit here (Columbus, Ohio) in the dicier neighborhoods. Some of them have put up signs saying that it's "new store policy" and that it's mandatory.

The guys LARPing as cops at the exit get big mad when I just walk out with my (legally purchased) groceries.

PapaFlexing

This is the best definition of it. I got a good chuckle

_yeen

The only thing that seems to ever accomplish is making me annoyed that they assuming I am dishonest by default.

I can go to Best Buy, buy a $1800 graphics card and walk right out the door without anyone even thinking about stopping me to look at my receipt (because they handle it in a better way). But I buy some milk and eggs at Walmart and "Let me see your receipt."

Another problem to add to the pile of Walmart's immensely shitty shopping experience.

pcefulpolarbear

not a good comparison as the GPUs are in a locked cabinet and you don't get to hold the box until its paid for (at least where I'm at)

_yeen

Either way, there’s plenty of high dollar stuff that isn’t behind locked cabinets at Best Buy. They just handle it in a way that it doesn’t bother their customer. From what I’ve seen they will ping their door people that someone is walking out with the specific item you bought.

Now that’s not essentially feasible for Walmart but the point is that Best Buy found a way to do loss prevention without treating their customers like criminals and without bothering them.

The worst right now for this is definitely Target. There is a Target in my city where EVERYTHING is behind a locked cabinet. Toothpaste, dish detergent, shampoo, underwear. Not only that but they have an armed guard in body armor posted by the entrance. I no longer shop at that Target. Hope it fails for treating their customers like shit

I'm not even stealing and I still walk out. It's inappropriate.

LPQ_Master

Same. I've never stolen from a store in my life, but ill just walk past the 7 person line waiting to show their receipt. If they say anything, I just kindly say "no thanks", and go on with my day.

barnayo

I am a convicted shoplifter who surrendered myself to the authorities when a walmart greeter asked to see my receipt. I wish you had shared this information sooner, it would have saved me a lot of trouble

Vanijoro

I don't even take my receipts at self checkout. In my opinion, that's their problem. If they tackle me or do something stupid, then it's REALLY their problem.

Ryzen 5 3600/RTX 3060

Hell idk about all Walmarts but the would I used to work at would fire us if we chased after someone who walked past us anyways, even if we knew they stole because they didn't want an injured or possibly dead employee on their hands. We were told to immediately report it to the security and go back to what we were doing.

SoftAdhesiveness4318

Funnily enough a friend of mine used to work as a security guard and he was told the same - he was basically there to act as a deterrent. He's a big guy and to people who don't know him he can look a tad imposing (in reality he's probably the kindest, most gentle guy I've ever met) but they were very strict on their policy that he was never to lay a finger on anyone or go after anyone.

Just stand there, and report anything that happens.

isoforp

I always say "no thank you" and just walk out. I'm not going to be treated like a goddamned criminal when I'm spending my money at their store.

Reddit theft tips.

It's called "irl piracy"

Artius71158

Technically walmart employees can't do that since you didn't sign a contract like you have to at Sam's club. I was at Walmart buying a fan that couldn't be bagged and this employee watched me pay for it at a register that wasn't self check out. She asked me for my receipt and I just kept walking and said "no thank you".

partyharty23

technically it is due to the fact that ownership changed when you handed over the funds. They are your items and you get to decide when people go thru them (absent a warrant or exigent circumstance).

By signing the contract at sams / costco you are agreeing to show your items to them prior to leaving the store.

I just tell them I charge a $1000 inspection fee, thats my policy, I have yet to have a store take me up on it.

MaximumDepression17

I'm going to use that line. Going to keep it reasonable though. Maybe I'll say I charge a 49.99 inspection fee.

I guess it depends on what you call rural. My hometown has a couple thousand people and our Walmart is fairly large. I’ll have to check for these though.

Any area big enough in population to have a walmart is decidely suburban adjacent at worst

I wouldn’t think they’d sell this stuff in a rural area. I live in a decent sized city and they don’t sell anything in this picture except m.2s at any of the Walmarts here. And the stuff they do sell I constantly see on clearance because no one is buying it.

CarlOnMyButt

Nowhere else is selling it in those small towns. So it kind of makes sense to dip into that market.

This happens because managers try something new and the misjudge the local demand for it. They're not losing money, but it does benefit us.

Suspect4pe

It will if you're vigilant. I got a nice gaming laptop at Walmart for about half price just because I checked their clearance about once a week. Every 3 to 6 months they rotate out the older stock and bring in newer stock, so it was part of them getting rid of the old.

IrishSetterPuppy

My dad needed a new computer and I found a 5600X and 6700xt system for $400 on clearance at wally world. Itll last him 10 years.

-a-user-has-no-name-

Kinda just gotta be patient and get lucky. Not PC related but I’ve been able to get a $400 Shark vacuum for $70 and a $350 Blendtec blender for $75

They’ve been far less generous with their clearance lately and it definitely varies store to store but I always swing by the clearance section just in case

I wonder how they decided what's locked up and what isn't

Ialsofuckedyourdad

hp omen, 17 9th gen 1660ti

Probably some statistic thing they run in the background.

All Walmarts here have metal bars and a security guard on the entrances so you can’t just walk out anymore it’s fucked. Don’t get how that’s not a fire safety concern

PapaFlexing

A security guard can't do fuck all. They aren't even legally allowed to touch you or that's assault.

Ialsofuckedyourdad

hp omen, 17 9th gen 1660ti

For sure. but like I live in a niceish area, and work in wealthy areas so I stop in for things all the time.

Every grocery store in Canada makes you go thru metal gates and by security like your a criminal. It just sucks idk

PapaFlexing

Yeah there's definitely that illusion that you're gonna be stopped.

But I have friends in loss prevention and security so they told me like. They can pretend they will stop you. And the people who know they can't, they just laugh at them and walk away.

But if you consent to be taken like stop now come here! Then, well, yeah.....

Doctursea

http://steamcommunity.com/id/doctursea/

I work for a retailer, it's based on if that class of item sees a lot of theft, then we check price point. So if people steal alot of hammers, we'd see which ones are stolen, then lock up everything over a certain dollar value.

Flashy-Outcome4779

Especially since I can see at least 1-2 that look improperly done.

That would never happen in ca. they would run out the doors with the alarms going off.

brownhotdogwater

They would be behind glass in CA. No way would they put a $500 item that is super easy to move that much in the open

Un111KnoWn

or it would be a cardboard rectangle that is exchanged at the counter

poonsweat

Agreed. Cuz I’d have an overstock of cheap graphics cards.

thesedays1234

I mean I live in PA and Walmart operates the Ghetto Mart here. It's this rundown Walmart they keep open as a loss leader to keep the thieves in one spot.

Everyone knows they lose a shit ton of money there, but the logic is you wanna keep those kind of people shopping (mostly robbing) at their local neighborhood Walmart rather than going to the other Walmarts and scaring your paying customers away.

CanesVenetici

Kind of sounds like my area. Also in PA. Montoursville store is ghetto while the surrounding stores in Mill Hall, Bloomsburg, and Lewisburg are all fairly nice.

I would wager no. There’s a Micro Center an hour away from me (Northern NJ) that I would tell anyone else to go to if they’re building a computer from scratch. And that same Micro Center is in an area where you only have to pay half the sales tax. The only reason I would even consider buying something from here is the hassle of driving an hour out of my way as opposed to five minutes if I needed a part in a pinch

MongooseLuce

God I love the north NJ Microcenter. That 3.5% sales tax is so sweet.

So sweet, in fact, my job invested in new phone and networking equipment to deploy in all offices.

Was cheaper to reimburse me to buy most of the items at Microcenter(between 5% off with the MicroCenter credit card and the 3.5% sales tax) than it was to order in bulk at some distributors.

Absolutely wild.

Yeah Microcenter is a blessing.

gnocchicotti

5800X3D/6800XT

This might be heresy but I don't usually feel like driving my ~40 minutes to my Micro Center.

They have killer deals on CPU combos that I have taken advantage of but in general the cost of a full build is roughly offset by slightly higher prices on other items or lack of specific clearance sales.

The nearest Microcenter to me is a 3 hour drive away. You don't know how good you've got it, until you can't get it anymore.

I remember when they sold computer components back in the 90's. They lost a lot of money on them because the market prices would drop but the store prices did not. Nobody would buy them from Walmart. Hope they do a better job with pricing this time around.

They've been doing this on and off for years... It never sticks around because Walmart is usually around best buys and people would rather go to a best buy than Walmart since there's more selection. In my case, there's a micro center 10 minutes away, which is also next to a best buy. idk why anyone would go to a best buy when they can go to micro center.

Because BestBuy is about 15 minutes from my house and my nearest MicroCenter is 15 hours from my house.

Are you shitting me? I paid $900 after tax for my 4070ti yet here’s a 4070 for $529?! I overpaid.

I guarantee as soon as anyone picks up anything off of that shelf, they're being watched like a hawk by AP. 🤣

That's Walmart Corporate looking at shopping trends and consumer behavior.

That's nice, I think. If the pricing is low, it's better to buy it from there. But they should sell all kind of parts.

They doing the same at my walmart and its south of Texas in a small town, its like them old days where walmart used to have a lane dedicated to PCs and components. They used to sell 3dfx graphics cards and them Voodoos and as a kid was always browsing that area, glad walmart is bringing that back.

Must be pretty sunny where you live for that stuff to just be sitting on a shelf

One of my local walmart has f'n socks under lock and key but not shoes. Mixed priorities right there.

ThatLousyGamer

This is in that place that doesn't punish shoplifters right? Any chance you could grab a few and ship'em my way?

WOW I JUST pulled my "gaming" (I bought a pre-built computer a while back from best buy with absolutely NO experience in PC building or gaming) out of storage to get some use out of the thousand dollars I spent. I spent all day reading on what could make it run better and ended up in Walmart looking at a display like this. Bought something like shrug it's a walmart brand we can see what it does. Hilarious to me that this a new thing apparently

ALWAYS watch your local Walmart for insane markdowns on tech. They did it not long ago in several Walmarts and people were posing about it on here.

I got a Blue Yeti Creators Kit for $63 from my Walmart that was insanely marked down. I decided to check my Walmart after so many people were getting HDDs and SSDs for super cheap.

And sitting on an open shelf? Just more shrink for them to count when they do inventory.

Waiting for 'Power Onn' PSUs. I wonder if they'd be decent enough to put smoke detectors and fire extinguishers on the shelf next to them.

Kinda wish my local walmart... or any walmart where i live started selling PC parts, the only thing my local walmart sells are SSDs... and thats it

I live in PR, and as far as i know, my only option when it comes to getting PC parts is to order them online, or drive almost almost 2 hours to the only 2 Best Buy stores that exist in the island, both of which are almost next to each other, with only a 10 minute drive distance between them.

If my local walmart ever started selling parts, i would be VERY happy, because the closest walmart to me is literally behind my house

Sick of these posts

robincollings

I was surprised mine did too! Only like one motherboard and a 4060 with a few different hard drives and a couple ram sticks so not a lot of options but better than nothing!
