/r/gaming is fuming about scalpers/resellers, and someone (allegedly) made a bot to bid on eBay listings just so they can't sell. Some were going for over $90,000 as of today.

I just think the problem of bots is hugely exaggorated - only at my office, in the small circle of my coworkers, I know at least 5 people who were trying to buy it yesterday. The actual real organic demand must have been huge, bots or no bots.

    None, the cards went out of stock on Nvidia's website instantly. They got the cards from other brands from 3rd party sites at regular prices

Those ebay auctions ending with crazy figures in the dollar column aren't real. People are trying to screw over scalpers by making huge fake bids.

  Good.
