Anyone just given up on looking for a new GPU?

Currently some people see buying a GPU as an investment, either to mine on or to scalp. I have heard suggestion of people buying up cards like the 3080ti on a credit card with the view to paying them of by mining or scalping. Until more people decide that the rate of return on a gpu for mining or scalping isn't worth it prices will stay high. Even physical retail isn't going to stop the scalpers, https://youtu.be/EhdePovsc0k

Nice to see cards go to members who are enthusiastic enough to get into the MM.

Not sure if i'd qualify for MM from my old account (lost in an email migration) but at least there's a little bit less of a market for the scalpers after this.

Another retailer just put up a 3060 12gb for 509 quid. Pre order for end of july. Assume all gone now

Why a pre-order and why end of July though....
We are selling real stock at £550 or £450 with a voucher code for the flagship 3060.

But maybe our voucher deals are bringing some competition back to the market and bringing the prices down.

I understand the need to keep them available for customers, but I'm probably one of many who don't use a forum, but I purchase all my components from yourselves, the only thing I was waiting for is a GPU, and the only way to purchase this from yourselves is pay £200 over.
