Disgusting.. I'm glad I went overkill on my psu a year ago.

In before someone pretends this is ok because:
1. "Supply and demand"
2. "You don't have to pay it"

Same, I got a Corsair HX1000 for £120 because it it was on offer and I justified it with 'future proofing'. Isn't looking like a bad decision now with these new power hungry GPUs.

Less scalping more a case of not wanting to change a listing to OOS, providing an ETA then having to bring it back into stock - especially common if the seller isn't the same as the website.

How do you know it sold? Nobody is buying that for £500...
There are several stores selling them at that sort of price. None of the reputable stores I might add. I guess if there are people prepared to pay £1500 for a 3080 then there are people prepared to pay an extra £500 to power them.

If people are actually paying that for a 850w PSU then they clearly have more money than sense. I’ve just done a search and it seems they’re available at far less?

Right on there. I'm sure someone will!
I confess I was only looking for the Corsair RM850i, and while there are plenty of places selling them at less, few actually have any stock.
