Boo Hoo, Poor Scalpers

There is no shortages that's why and if you know where to look you can find 4090s at MSRP. I can see cards even today. Also some retailers are deliberately drip feeding their stock everyday if you watch. There is no shortages and soon they will all get more new stock too if not received this week. ;)

Scalpers can go to hell really and they are only hoping for people abroad that don't have the cards in their countries yet to buy them, everywhere else that has the cards in their countries have no need to buy from scalpers on ebay.

I dont think there are that many around at MSRP. Yes i agree they are coming into stock every day but cards from retailers are up to £300 more than the MSRP at launch. Even MSI is selling the Suprim X direct for £2250 but retailers had them for £1749 on launch day.

Yeah, I’ve not been looking too hard but I have been shopping around a bit and I can’t find a single card for anywhere near RRP, or even much stock of anything else for that matter here in the UK.

Guessing it’ll be a couple more weeks before any real stock reappears.
 
Goodbye MM access then
1) it was 1 and a bit years old and used when I sold it and 2) it wasn't on this forum. If it was a brand new card sold for profit then sure, I'd accept being booted off MM.

I know it's against the forum to do said deals but I haven't actually violated the terms of THIS forum. You can all put down your pitchforks.

That was legitimately funny and I laughed.

To summarise this thread, Nvidia’s new cards are too expensive and no one has the spare cash to pay for them.
You could add AMDs CPUs and motherboards to that statement too. AMD used to be the value option and they still are GPU wise but I think the new RDNA cards will be far worse value for money.

I see that I have had MM access removed. Appeal sent to Maccy but I understand why it was removed.

won't they just return them under the distance selling regs? not sure it will really affect them negatively. The ones selling for near MSRP on ebay are pretty stupid tbh as it's the fees that'll cost them.
they only have 1 month to return.
+ they have to pay expensive shipping and insurance cost for something of this value.
the 4090 is still a recent launch so they still hope they can sell for prifit,but those scalpers who bought 3080 3080 Ti's from last drop (around 1 month ago) are out of luck.

RTX 3000 series prices also going back up.
no they are not.
latest ebay auctions for 3080 Ti FE brand new ending at £850 that's bellow £925 from Nvidia which is available.
the regular scalped 3080 FE s aren't selling, this weekend a few "big name" retailers on eBay were selling Asus 3080 for £700,and another famous retailer selling MSI 3080 for £750 with 2 years warranty but the usual 10% code eBay regularly gives reduced the price to £680.
no one's going to pay over £750 for a 3080 now unless they are really stupid and can't be bothered with doing a basic search.
