French Retailer Is Listing Defective NVIDIA RTX 5090 GPUs Starting at €1499, Once Bought Cannot Be Refunded

French retailer LDLC is listing damaged, non-working NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 cards as repair or spare-part items.

The ASUS and MSI models are priced at €1,499–€1,699, far below new units but still expensive for defective hardware.

LDLC warns that the cards cannot be returned or refunded and may only be useful for professional repair or component recovery.

The listings highlight both the extreme scarcity of flagship GPUs and a niche market for repair shops and parts recyclers.
