I noticed an impressive range of 3080s for sale on a competitor website for around ~ £1,200 ea today. Stock wasn't being eaten up that fast either.
I think this is quite significant when you consider the eBay scalp price for a 3080 is currently around £1,150 - £1,300. This will definitely force the scalpers to make their prices more competitive, especially if more retailers follow this trend.
Stay strong lads, if we don't buy these cards even for these lower prices from retailers we're only going to see more improvements as the days roll by.
I would also consider the time lag between shipping cards from China to the west as a big time bomb with scalp prices too. Those under MSRP cards are bound to end up in western markets eventually.
