My guess is it'll be different for the UK drop; they'll sell out in seconds again.
UK seems to still have a shortage of the 4090, but it will dry out shortly as with the rest of the world. 4090 "copped" posts on reddit and such have basically started to fade out, they won't be able to keep this up for long. If they want to sell cards they will have to drop prices.
You're right they are both crazy but its the new prices on current cards pushing up the second hand prices. If we stop buying new and Nvidia reduce prices it will cause second hand to drop as well.
Hmm did not think the used prices were so high still, maybe I will just keep this for a bit longer. Whilst the price diff after a used sale would amount to a few hundred more, I still don't think it's justifiable to put that extra cost into Nvidia's pockets on a card that is way overpriced than what its performance says it should be at current prices.
Agree both are out of place for what they are ... the people this will really effect is someone who hasn't got a GPU currently but for anyone that has a 3080/ti/3090 etc then the price to do the upgrade should roughly remain the same if we have a price reducton on the 4080 and will still be aorund £400 to upgrade . I actually done this with my own card so had a 3090 Strix which i sold for £1100 and purchased a 4090 FE at £1700 cost to upgrade £600 .... personally i was happy to pay that for the uplift in performance and have never looked back . If i had a 3080 that i got for £650 probably mined a load of ETH on and payed for itself then someone said to me 2 years later i will give you £600 for that .. i would bite their arm off and put the rest towards an upgrade

i'd be surprised if they don't... it would be so arrogant to not do so.

Now how many people got a 20% pay rise in the same time frame without moving jobs?
Honestly, I would say not many. I certainly didn't, although next year I'm looking at a much larger pay rise than is typical.
The 3080 was very close to the performance of the 3090 yet they still sold every 3090 they could make at double the price of the 3080.
"Value" doesn't apply to the top-end card. There'll always be those who'll buy the best whatever the cost. Even if AMD get within 90% of the 4090 (which they won't), people will still spend 50% more for the NVidia card.
TBF, the 3090 was an amazing workstation card. I know that 3D artist were all over them. I saw a £10,000 workstation PC build that was rocking dual 3090. The CPU was worth more than both 3090s combined. Maybe the RAM aswell.

Cant do that with the Ada cards, they snuck in that body blow too! 
The GPU market is like a Mexican stand off right now between manufacturers and the consumer.
Considering the 4070 isn't out yet and has no release date, I can't see the ti version launching Jan.
I don't think it is possible for the 4070 to be on par with a 3090 unless it is on the GA103 die.

It’s speculative but 5th Jan is the expected date.

...the 4070 ti will be a rebadged version of the 4080 that wasn't a 4080.
