Heh, good for you. It's insane. A friend of mine just got ripped off here (I posted about it the other day but it never got traction), he is a student and bought what he thought was a GPU but it was actually an empty shell with the GPU and the RAM removed from the board.
As a homelabber, that 5090 I bought a couple years ago for 2k just sold for 9k and I paid off my car.

Crazy times!
Congrats on getting rid of the debt, that's really a great feeling.
That really sucks. Sorry for your friend.
