*** NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 4090 STOCK SITUATION & OcUK YOUTUBE REVIEWS - NO COMPETITOR DISCUSSION ***

Looks like nvidia and etailers under-priced these GPU's :)
Cant believe a crazy expensive GPU, with even more crazy AIB prices has sold out.
Think I'll need to await the 50 series to replace my 3080 FE.
 
so you've bought from OcUK and re selling it on ebay to make profit?
BAN ?
Have a think about it. Do you think I would have blanked out the seller ID and not included the item number if it were me?

I haven't bought a 4090, to be clear. I am disgusted by the scalping tactic and I have never scalped anything in my life. I accept your apology in advance :)

It's getting to the point where you think they could just slap any price on the card and they'd still show as sold out due to their BS manipulation of stock levels.

I have no doubt the FE priced at £2000 would have sold out in the same time.
 
I think a decent proportion of those sales will be scalpers who will struggle to shift them to be honest.

I cannot even remember what GPU or even normal hardware sales was like in 2005/6. I don't remember it like today where they purchase mass numbers from retailers and within 30 minutes they're up at massive markup? Was this even a thing then? Feels like in ways like modern versions of dodgy guys in white vans pulling up to you around the corner trying to flog a TV or two. Only difference it's over inflated. Like the PS5 launch all over again.

Nope i never remember it being like that - Last gen everyone was scalping each other - whether it be ebay scalpers or users selling on their cards for a profit to get the next tier up for free. I didnt see a 3080 FE sold on for cost or less due to 2nd hand by anyone.

Consoomer culture, the scalpers are just trying their luck as some people just have to have one.
 
Yeah, was going to buy one but instead I have bought 15 Xbox Series S consoles, going to use them to throw at EVRI drivers who can't delivery parcels properly so will likely only have one left by next week. Should probably keep one to play games on though. :cry:
EVRI hands down the worse Courier, they employ anybody in that region to pick up & delivery parcels.
