Summary:

In an extremely timely mix-up, someone on the r/pcmasterrace subreddit sent one of the sticks in their 96 GB kit of Corsair's Vengeance DDR5 for an RMA and received non-functional dummy RAM in return. Customer's real memory was worth at least $1000 while the decorative modules are just $35.
