So is £450 and £550 the "new" RRP, or is low stock still inflating prices?

Yep. It is depressing though. The 7800X3D retail price is £440 and reached as low as £330 when I bought it. The retail price of the 9800X3D is £450, and you are hard pressed to find it below £530.

So did I. I plan to sell it shortly, and I suspect i may receive a similar amount or more than what I bought it for. Knowing it will drop in the coming weeks as 9800X3D stock stabilises, i did cave in and buy a 9800X3D as i'm CPU bound in many games. Not a logical upgrade, but that's life

High end pc gaming was never logical
It’s a curse I tell ye!

The inflated prices aren't due to exchange rates. This is just scalping / supply & demand.
Shame. All the scalping and stock issues is taking some of the fun out of this hobby.

Oh, absolutely. Even on launch day, it wasn't at MSRP at most, if not all, retailers. I guess they all knew they had such limited stock, and weren't getting sizeable deliveries until January 2025, so yanked up the prices £100 in some cases. Just prepare yourselves for the same thing happening with the 50 series....
