I will worry about this when the 6900XT launches since that was what i was going to buy anyway.
If you donât mind, would you care to explain how price gouging is illegal in your area, then? You keep saying âstop referring to the US it doesnât apply to meâ, but you arenât actually explaining what DOES apply to you/your area. Is it actually illegal or do you just not like the practice and wish that it was?

Is there anything wrong with a gtx 1080ti or a 1660?
Sure you donât, but most people youâre talking to here are from the US at this time of day.
Letâs face it, the Druid is embarassing himself here with his support of scalping, but itâs unfortunately not illegal in the US.
Theyâre vastly outdated and out performed cards.
I just got my 3090 yesterdayâŠim not telling you how I got mineâŠAnd no it wasnt on eBAYâŠand no it wasnt even close to that price.
It will be if using EBAY, US North America.
Now if you are hitting up UK, Euro, Japan, etc online auctions you might be correct. So have fun if a Brit in your legal system with that. Or fill in whatever country you are.
If bought on a US âstoreâ its those laws in play.
LIke me with my camera hobby. Fun fact. If I buy a Nikon lense in a US store I get 5 years limited warranty. NOw I if o go buy that same lens at the store down the street from me (I live in japan) I get 1 year only.
Same lens, different laws based on nation of sale. Pick your nation of sale that works for you all I can say. MEâŠI test shoot store samples then buy from a US store for my camera gear lol.
Thats fair then. Here the practice is most certainly not legal, especially when the method to obtain the products is through botting/scripts that allow you to buy in bulk from the website.
1660 is pretty average. 1080ti was a hell of a buy with the performance you get for how old it is.
The architecture of the GTX series (including the 1080) wasnât designed to support Raytracing. Nvidia has released drivers updates that allow certain models from the GTX series (again, including the 1080) to perform Raytracing.
Sorry that I didnât explain it the first time. I didnât think I needed to spell it out. Thatâs on me.
Yeah, I have a friend who was able to get one. Iâm going to get a 3090 when they come back in stock, work is paying for it for my work from home computer.

Where are you from then, 10 to 1 my amazing âgoogleâ skills find the law and it mentions both âemergency situationsâ and âessential goodsâ in the law.
Keep trying to defend it <3
So just donât buy them and let the scalpers die off lol

They really arenât that out dated, for anyone at 1440p a 1080ti is going to be more or less fine, Yes the new 30 series outdoes it but just because the 30 series exists doesnât mean the 10 series is going to immediatly perform worse and suddenly only give you 5 FPS
If thatâs the case, I think itâd only apply to entities doing business from those areas, right? Iâm definitely not an expert, goes double since this is e-commerce, but Iâm going to assume that laws are applied based on wherever the seller happens to be. Iâm assuming these scalpers are based in areas where itâs totally legal to do so, otherwise they either wouldnât be doing it or theyâd be getting in some sort of trouble for doing so, right?
I don have to do anything lmao? Do you think you are my dad or something. Just keep defending it like you were before, I donât answer to you.
You claim itâs illegal where you live, I would like to verify that fact.
Unless of course youâre talking out of your fifth point of contact and donât know what youâre talking about, but that couldnât be the case right?
Now whoâs dodging?

Correct, it would only apply to sales/purchases from the area. However it doesnât make the practice somehow defendable imo, because thereâs no law for it defending it. And iirc, isnât scalping tickets etc illegal for sporting events? Why would it be any different for a product?
