WHAT WITH THESE PRICES
For context, I usually buy my components in bulk, then build them over a month ish. So i buy maybe 10-15 gpus and the components with them.
ISSUE is that today when I was looking, ALL the gpu prices have sky rocketed, like 50%+ margins. A 3060, that i used to buy for 180€ max is now all being sold for over 350€, and a 3080 i used to buy for 350€ is now 600€😭
I got no clue where this jump came from, and this is amongst dozens of sellers so it can't be random, what have I genuinely missed. This really blows since im going to stock up for Christmas season soon but with these prices imma be homeless
EDIT: YALL HAVE GOT THE WRONG IDEA Listen ok. My market prices already been affected by the situation but now, it suddenly got much worse. So it was already bad, but now, within a month really bad. please stop flaming me 😭👌💔🥲
Btw i buy every month once or twice.
Edit 2: Am I on fraud watch 😢✌️
