I'd rather want a #honest #MSRP than a effectivley unavailable one.

• OFC I don't expect a board partner to accept a margin of just $4, but it would be easier to accept a 5% higher MSRP than having no stock at MSRP.

And yes, I blame #AMD, #nvidia and #intel doing #Greedflation against #consumers because I'm very certain they don't sell #silicon at cost for a fixed price per unit depending on the order size, but rather charge a cut of the sold model (similar to #ARM does nowadays for their #licensing)...

• People, #StopBuyingAboveMSRP!

Whilst @heiseonlineenglish has reduced in #quality and isn't doing extensive reviews on #GPU|s anymore, they at least show #StreetPricing when available!

• Seriously, #MSRP should be legally binding!

This isn't normal.

• We used to get #MSRP WITH #VAT in #Germany despite having a 19% VAT rate (tho even Belgium git stuff at VAT despite having 32% VAT).

Cards get sold for € 1.100 when their MSRP is€ 600

• THIS IS #PriceGouging!

I've yet to see any #GPU at #MSRP in #Germany!

• They all are #overpriced for no valid reason whatsoever and it pisses me off, because I didn't buy a #GTX1050 or #Vega64 as an #invsstment, but right now both cards.that I was able to snipe at €100 each are actually rising in value because #AMD, #nvidia & #intel only shit out expensive stuff and don't even have MSRP-priced merch available.

Worse there ain't even #LowEnd [< €100] or actual #MidRange [€250 - €500] cards available at MSRP!

Why else would #AMD say 'no, this isn't a limited launch-only #MSRP'?

As #GamersNexus pointed out: This is #Greedflation!

There is no other explaination re: 42% above #MSRP for #GPU|s that ain't having hands-on customer support for extreme overclocking!

• Like those were absurd but one could at least justify the price with the added cost of having to basically pre-pay at least 1 hour (if not multiple hours) of labour for a spechalized technician that walks people through on #extreme #overclocking!

Seriously, stop buying over #MSRP ffs!

@fletch @AnnaAnthro @pluralistic @blaine IMHO just revoke the #Swasticar|s type.certificate and force #Tesla to not just #BuyBack the cars at #MSRP like #VW did with #DieselGate but also make #ApartheidEmeraldBoy pay emotional damages and the cost of.procuring replacements from other manufacturers!

@makerbymistake Unless @Raspberry_Pi works with their #Distributors to enshure #Scalpers can't #bot the stores empty and resell shit at absurd markups, I doubt I can get a #Pi5 or #CM5 at #MSRP...

@ethanOS thx but I'm still figuring out how to get the #BananaPiZeroM2 #BPi0M2 working as a drop-in replacement for the @Raspberry_Pi #Pi0W & #Pi0 since #RaspberryPi seems more unwilling than unable to get units sold via their distributors at #MSRP.

Cuz the scalpers charge €60+ for a #Pi0W and €120+ for a #Pi0 v1.3 when both are actually €10 and €5 MSRP.

Industrial customers however seem to get double-digit numbers at MSRP just fine...

@B_Whitewind Got a @Raspberry_Pi at #MSRP?
