the 580X is on sale

50% off

god damn it

Told you

Sales are happening my dude

fucking being poor sucks ass, if I had my school money I might actually

It’s right after Christmas and they want to shunt overstocked shit

I really need to upgrade this FX8350 tho

Yeah in US they pay inventory taxes on like January 1st, so they do stupid shit to avoid that tax

problem is going to AM4 means new ram and motherboard

and ram prices are still retarded

Tell me about it

I paid

$240 for my 16GB kit

To buy that same kit now is $390

Yuh

That's an extra 50% price hike

***Yikes***

1080s have only gone up in price

Hee

Literally skyrocketing

I did my project on factors that increase RAM prices

turns out, no one fucking knows

My regressions show almost *no* fucking correlation to rare earth metal prices, the spectre virus, stock prices of major ram companies

anything

Literally price fixing

It’s market manipulation and a leftover facet of cryptocurrency boom

Funny ou say that mossad

Bitcoin had no effect.

At all.

It’s price fixing basically

Price fixing is more likely

I'm glad AU has MSY (and a few similar) keeping prices relatively low compared to what pc stores and department stores would like to do

I dont know how to ... measure price fixing, dont think I can really

MSY is a god send for us down here

You can

You’d need an enormous sample size

It follows as you advance, you get cheaper prices, but smartphones for one.. dont follow that as much

I would, I mean, the stocks for samsung had 19k fucking data points as it was

now if only we could do the same for wholesale as MSY does retail

And cross reference cards at different tiers from different manufacturers and their prices over time
