Whats a Desktop Deal:

There are many factors you need to take into account in order to make something a deal. Manufacturer, Product line, Specs and warranty are usually what to look at when figuring that out. You need to consider prices as well, sometimes you get a price so hot that it doesn't matter what company it is.

Generally speaking here are the guidelines for Intel processors:

i3 8th Gen processor - Under $300 is usually a hot deal, Under $350 is decent
i5 8th Gen Processor - Under $400 is a Usually a Hot Deal
i7 8th Gen Processor - Under $600 is a Usually Hot Deal

to be continued....

Wait a few days and see if they contact you. Check if you were billed for it, then depending on your ethics and morals decide whether to contact them and offer to keep it for a reduced price or...
They charged me for both.

They will send you a return label or give you an option to keep it with a small discount...

What is a MPN number? I am trying to list a Desktop for sale, but can't figure out what the correct MPN number is, I see different sites selling the same Desktop but all with different MPN numbers. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Not even close. The MSD was:
-4th Generation Intel Core i5 4440
-6GB DDR3 RAM

This is
-Intel Pentium Dual-Core G3220
-4 GB DDR3 RAM
