It sounds like IRL loot boxes.

I’m sure that user is real and definitely not a way for Amazon to get someone throw money at them /s

A couple different ways to read this.

  • Amazon marketing team turned an “oops, we just handed some rando $50,000 in valuable equipment” into a “you, too, can get rich quick buying our trash”

  • The pallets aren’t random, there was an insider who knew exactly what they were getting, and Amazon operates at such high volume that they don’t really care.

  • It’s a totally fake story that’s been churned out by one of those AI news story engines, stumbled upon by some weeb who didn’t know what they were looking at, and recirculated into Reddit Lemmy, when it deserves to be a pop-up on CNN that your grandmother doesn’t know how to close.
