Honest question cause i do notg know but is the PO to the supplier not a type of contract? ie we agree to buy x amount of units, you agree to charge us x amount?

Eh? It sold out in 10 minutes and at asking tooCouple of 5080's in MM but no one seems to want them
Yes but the small print of the contract with the other competitor reserves the right to increase the price.
When you raise a PO at work it is an accounting procedure for your accounts dept to set aside in the books that amount your company will be spending at some point in the future against the item you are ordering and most likely than not the price will be agreed/set in stone.
The email I got from them states 'Payment has been authorised and we accept the contract between us is now unconditional'.
They 'The Seller' have agreed to provide me 'The Buyer', goods at an agreed price which has been fulfilled by me as funds have now left my account. Now I'm not versed in legal waffle but that all sounds binding to me and I'll argue it.

MSI and ASUS hike GeForce RTX 50 series prices in official stores, now up to $3,409 for RTX 5090 - VideoCardz.com
MSI removes MSRP RTX 50 cards, ASUS goes to an absurd $3409 price for flagship RTX 5090 When supply doesn’t meet demand, scalpers board partners take advantage. MSI is no longer offering any cards at MSRP. The company has decided to increase prices for RTX 5080 and 5090 cards across the board...videocardz.com
Scalpers be mad for selling cards too early

Check out the key sites, I paid £3.99 from a well known key site.
I'll be honest, I'm a bit baffled about all this talk of the other place screwing people in the queue on price when it comes to delivery. I've checked and double checked and I don't see anywhere where they're talking about increasing the price on people. Now it could be I'm just not looking in the right place but you'd think it would be there in the t&cs that they link you to on the order confirmation email but it's simply not there.

For the first time the GPU situation in the UK is way healthier than the US. At least here in the UK, I can find 4070s and even the 4080 super. I don't know maybe we had an excess of stock that hasn't sold yet or something because to me it seems weird in the US you can't even buy a 4070 super right now.

With the American tariffs hopefully more Chinese stock will be pushed around the rest of the world.
That "# sold" tool is just a random number generator, aimed at creating a sense of urgency. I'd be intrigued to hear if anyone has managed to buy a 5090 somehow in the last couple of days.

If they weren't shipped before the Chinese New Year then it could be a couple weeks. Most of China manufacturing have been off for their holidays (most are off 10-14 days to travel from the factories back to their families - often massive distances) - my work has a factory there and some started to return yesterday, with it getting back up to full speed on Mon.
Assuming the next shipment of global stock is now waiting on China to start dispatching goods after their holiday, (best case scenario is assembled units in boxes, waiting to go) we're now at the mercy of UPS and customs... Anything we get air-freighted from our factory takes approx a week to travel and clear customs - so any already assembled stock waiting to be dispatched could potentially start to arrive the tale end of next week. A more cost-effecting option is sea-freight, and you're looking more like 6 weeks...
Being a cynic, if they pushed through all assemblies nearly done and made sure as much as possible was shipped before the holidays (instead of sitting at the docks) then you might need to add in extra time for the assembly lines to kick in... piece of string... possibly days, possibly weeks... who knows...
It's a crazy time to launch something made in China.

I’d be more inclined to think that they’ll simply increase the price worldwide to cover the tariff cost for the yanks whom are their biggest market.
It’s written on their 50 series page:
“
- Price Drops: If the final price is lower than your pre-order price, we’ll refund you the difference.
- Price Increases: If the final price is higher, we’ll notify you in advance so you can either accept the difference or cancel your order.
Now, one would assume that prior to the MSRP hike (and if the exchange rate stayed as it was) then nobody would pay extra or less. Remains to be seen if they’ll charge customers more and by how much.
The plus side here is that they don’t inflate their margins and I largely believe it (the asking price for the cards I saw seemed to be around what I expected).
Here’s what I’m most interested in: OCUK obviously have their own projected profits and they’ve lumped on £300 in some cases (i.e the Astral). Will OCUK respect that implemented inflation or will they now raise the price again and pass their “loss” onto the customer (despite obviously charging far higher than everywhere else already).
I think there was a major issue with early manufacturing the 50 series, right? That has caused the delay, hence the awkward Chinese new year launch.
But with that out of the way, there’s no reason why stock should be terrible after a couple of months.

the bios wasn't released until very late apparently. Also I'm pretty sure the 5080 had 24gb vram and then they changed it to 16gb late on due to 3gb availability, as there were pictures of an msi 5080 box with 24gb vram printed on it.
I can't link it directly but Homepage > Banner 50 Series > Find out more then under Important information
There's lots of conflicting information out there. The average Chinese worker gets one day off for the New Year. Of course senior/management positions get more or can afford to take more, though these are not the staff positions that are boxing cards or doing the manual labour jobs not covered by automation.
Also, the manufacturing lines are very highly automated these days, further decreasing needed labour.
This week we've seen many cards come into stock (there's an app showing stock drops) and we've seen people get cards from OCUK and other retailers, so stock has not stopped yet at least. Hopefully things continue without a complete stoppage of deliveries!
