Boo Hoo, Poor Scalpers

Yes,yesterday around 3PM already mentioned here:
seen other cards (3090) also come in and out of stock.
(I'm after 3080 FE so check regularly)
That's cheap have they knocked the cost down?
No... that's RRP and retailers are whacking another £400 on top.
On top of cards that were selling at same £1699 as AIB models. The gouging never ends.. Well it will bite them in the rear soon as people will just buy the FE if they want one. Clearly no shortages with them.

Longer actually and then at 3.09 they started coming back in as they were released from peoples basket. I know a few people who grabbed one then.
This time if you get it to the basket it stays locked there for 10 minutes.
Thing is places like ocuk got stock yesterday and listed them at £200 more than list price and they sold out in minutes still so there is still going to be a premium price for a few weeks.

All £1 final or 80% are every 2 weeks but granted there was none last weekend so the scalpers have missed out there. Only £1 final value from this friday though so I expect a lot of cards will be cancelled and relisted (if the seller has any sense)
3090ti have gone up. 3-4 weeks ago you could buy the zotac Amp extreme 3090ti for £899. Now its around £1150.
FE cards keep coming in and out of stock.
checked this morning these are/were in stock:
3090 Ti FE :1149
3080 Ti FE : 929
3070 Ti FE: 549
3060 Ti FE : 369
I didn't look for non-FE
and for auction :
last auctions ended for brand new 3080 TI (including shipping):
£860 / £850 /£855
last auctions ended for brand new 3080 (including FE and thirdparty cards and shipping) :
£652 / £729 / £624 / £575
(the £729 one is the FE)
you get the idea what these cards are worth at the moment.(brand new)
this is the real situation of the market now.

Right now the 3080 at $699 MSRP would be £746.80 with 20% VAT
The cheapest 3080 is £728.99 on OCUK right now, they are not being scalped, they are just really expensive.
And; This government wants even more money out of your pockets, because of course it does, its never enough... its thinking about putting VAT up to 22.5%, that would push the RRP of the 3080 up to £762, lovely... another 18,000 blue haired lunatics hired to make sure you don't say something other blue haired lunatics on twitter get offended by, if you do the British Stasi will come round to "check your thinking" No joke that's a real thing.

I got the same email as i've got a few on watch lmao, it was indeed tears of joy. Even seen some drop prices haha!
I hope they get stuck with them and forget about the return window!

Thinking the same, probably in a panic before Christmas stuck with this GPU they'll have to make 50 quid on.
It's ok once the recession comes full force the decks will be cleaned, I'll keep my savings in my bank and continue as I am now.
We need a good purge, consumer spending has gone way out of control and time the new generation learns the value of money.

Glad im not the only one who thinks this! Some people are gonna get hit so hard when it happens, worse thing is you won't be able to offload what you have other than at a loss or even really cheap!
Does leave opportunity for those who saved money though.
I'll take the 4090 off your hands so you don't lose your house, for £300... I'm very sorry you didn't manage your risk properly.
But yes I'm genuinely concerned and I'm lucky enough to be not in the 98%. I can't actually understand the way people are acting at the moment with what is on the horizon.
Maybe I'm just too old and risk adverse now. All you need to start doing is looking at the growth of things like klarna, it's double year on year growth.
If we think all the GPUs are being bought with capital I highly doubt it.

I'm sure it's pretty obvious where this screengrab is from - I took it late afternoon today. This must be the most 'ballsy' scalper ever!

That's from the websites Asus store, its Asus who are scalping that.
