Are people really still salty about people playing the system and managing to get more than one card?
I bought a 3060Ti when they came out as I couldn't get the 3080 at the time, then the rules were changed, then a mate wanted me to build a rig for his daughter, I sold him the 3060Ti for £300 (although he gave me £350 as he added £50 build fee) and he bough the 3080FE for me..
So, I've had more than one card, but sold it for less than I bought it for, what does that make me?

That’ll teach me for just reading the first part of someone’s post!
Not the same mate, you purchased one and sold it to a friend and he got you a new 3080 fe, so basically no rules broken and the limits were still one purchase per customer. Also you didn't get another/more card(s) to scalp it/them later.
Salty is when one person buys all available stock when they can to scalp them later and profit on them as he was doing clearly. I wouldn't have minded if he was helping friends and family get a card but clearly not. Just helping himself..

Mining to pay for your purchase- do as you please.
I could have flipped my 80Fe the same day it arrived to purchase a 90Fe through the missus on my home address.

Oh yeah, and I mined the crap out of the 60Ti and the 80FE when it was worth doing so that covered the cost of my upgrades over the last 2 years...

I used various family members to get me the other cards and yes I mined them all and sold to a high street store when they were offering higher than msrp buy prices. I don’t think that makes me a scalper as I had used all the cards for a few months and took advantage of the high prices to essentially get free crypto or rather just pay electricity to get crypto.There was always a limit of 2 x 3090s FE and became later 1 .

Every time there is a drop I always get my card declined even though I've never had one.

Scalpers are done for this gen (read up in teh thread) they are waiting for 4000 series. Nothing to do with miners, shortages are from scalpers.
Not going to cry about it, can’t change human nature.. But a little bit? Yeah. And I don’t think it’s unreasonable to feel that way. What should we be doin, throwing them a party?
