GTX 1060 bought for $5 turned out to be a GTX 560 Ti — Black Friday shopper learns the hard way to always check what's in the box before walking out the door

Salvation Army GTX 1060 scam.

Black Friday is prime time for GPU shopping. One Black Friday shopper got lucky when they stumbled upon an alleged GTX 1060 that would have been an absolute bargain. Redditor "scorpionthecruel" shared the story of how it turned out to be a GTX 560 Ti instead, a graphics card that launched 14 years ago.

The Redditor was shopping at a Salvation Army and stumbled upon a random GTX 1060 "chilling on a shelf" with a $10 price tag — but since it was Black Friday, the store had everything half off, dropping the price down to $5. After buying the alleged GTX 1060, the Redditor opened the MSI GTX 1060 3GB box only to find a Gigabyte GTX 560 Ti inside.
