Sure they’ve got to get in on the price gouging don’t you see?

as long as people are willing to pay for it I guess they’ll take it

It’s just like in Glengarry Glen Ross when Blake says, “they’re sitting there waiting to give you their money, are you going to take it? Are you man enough to take it?” (if you haven’t seen that movie, I highly suggest it.)

That the price is higher than MSRP comes as a surprise to no one, but the UK price being best in Europe is a surprise to me.

Prices of US goods in Europe are crazy due to the strong $. Many shops in Europe simply don't even import 4090 or 4080. Shops know there's a high chance they won't be able to sell them.

Another problem for these power hungry GPU in Europe, is the high energy prices in Europe. I would not even want to use a 4080 or 4090 even if the GPU was free, the electricity bill would be too costly.

It's one of very few things where the UK price is better than Europe. Most 3080's are still over £900 in the UK - the ones worth having at least.

Europe did this to themselves. They love their VAT and green energy thing.

You're either joking or the most brain dead person I've seen in the past week. Anyway, you get a good boy brownie.

It's called "capitalism". nVidia and AMD are charging insane prices, and AIBs and retailers the premiums on top of that, because they're able to. All it would take is people not buying them and the prices would be lower, but enough people are willing to pay the asking price so they keep them high.

Exactly this is capitalism and they are salesman like these giys

“They’re sitting there waiting to give you their money! “

And if people would just stop, the madness would cease. However, there’s just too many people that want to give them their money.

Nvidia has a rabid following and the gamers will pay anything apparently

This one of the reasons I dislike being European (Ireland). Even though there's near parity on the conversion rate (I think it's about 97c to the $ now), we still get this 'tech tax'. Vat included is a hard pill to swallow 🙁
