Speculators in the dark: RTX 4080s left unsold

According to the first data, the RTX 4080 graphics cards Looks like they don’t sell as well as Nvidia would like. In particular, a lot of stock has remained unsold on store shelves, as many players find the price prohibitive, which is well over $1,000.

In a way, the big losers in the case this time around are Brokerswho seems to have found it dark. It is about clever retailers who, with the help of algorithms, have bought up all available stocks in recent years, and resold them at exorbitant prices on eBay and other platforms. However, the sleazy party appears to be over, and he moves it on Videocardz.com.

Specifically, the speculators who jumped at the opportunity to buy the RTX 4080 by buying all stock when it first hit store shelves are now scrambling to return the graphics cards to the stores they bought them from. Among other things, a job scalper who was left with 6 sealed RTX 4080s no longer knew what to do, because huge foreign chains like Newegg banned returns, made the Internet rounds.

Below you can see a scalper’s Facebook post asking people to buy an RTX 4080 at MSRP, not from a regular warranty store, but from it. What is the reason for the “lowering” of prices? “The market is not what you expected.”

Of course, with more inventory hitting store shelves each day and the upcoming debuts of the more affordable RTX 4070, RTX 4060, and Radeon 7900s, it’s uncertain whether savvy vendors will be able to escape unscathed.
