How much scalpers actually made on RTX 30xx series .....

yeah, don't succumb only pay what something is actually worth

Agree, happy to wait until sanity returns.

I don't have a problem with scalpers, I`d scalp myself if I could. If people are stupid enough to pay those ridiculous prices, that`s their problem.

Auctions and market places should ban the sale of Ampre and RDNA2 so scalpers get stuck with stock they can't sell.

I`ll be glad when the market is flooded with decent priced GPUs again so I can get back into gaming (watching box sets at the moment.)

Or it may backfire on all of us as it showed how much people will pay and next gen we'll be back to 20XX pricing or worse

We're already worse than Turing pricing as I don't remember retail prices like £550 for 2060 super £700 for 2070 and £850~1000 for a 2080 and let's not even start on the 3090 which up till now is the 2080tis successor.

Won't happen sadly, eBay are making money happily.

From me, nothing, zero , FA, not a penny.

I prefer to wait for cards from the regular vendors.

I don't mind paying a lot for a GPU but I won't help a scalper make a $%^&*() penny.

Can all go **** themselves! I'll wait a year before purchasing if I have to.

 

[Gregster]

More fool the people that paid those prices to be honest.

Agreed!

It makes me sick TBH, I am tired of these ****** who are just making other peoples lives a misery. It is just pure selfish greed.

Holy **** at that total - $16 million in profit

It's sad that people gave in and paid them huge amounts of money, it only encourages them. If very few did it the problem would quickly go away.

I got my 3080 at retail so glad about that.. but I have been looking for a 3070 to do into my daughters system for well over a month now and just brick walled.
I have paid an extra £60 to buy a 3070 over what it costs retail now because I really cant be bothered to wait any more
