Scalpers prices are not retail. I have bought around 4 3070s/3080s all for under 1000 at actual retail pricing.

  When even retailers have these prices, then those are the prices. > I have bought around 4 3070s/3080s all for under 1000 at actual retail pricing. How much time and effort did you spend to accomplish that? I've signed up with multiple AIBs and Nvidia itself for months to get notified if anything I'm interested in gets in stock. Nvidia stopped selling directly in my region (Europe) a while ago, no AIB has notified me yet. Probably because I picked all the most affordable models, all of which are still more expensive than 3080 FE MSRP, while 3080 FE has not even an official retailer left in mainland Europe. Sure, I could setup a whole range of alerts and spend all day hanging out in a bunch of discords to catch one of those super rare stock drops. But tbh that's not the experience I'm looking for when I'm already willing to spend money: I don't want, and most people simply can't, having to organize the rest of their life around the possibility for a purchasing "opportunity" at any given moment.

    I literally just refreshed this page like 5 times a day. That is it. 3070s pop up all the time. https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapcsales/new/ https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapcsales/new/
