Title: Here is how we can STRIKE BACK against ebay GPU SCAMMERS!!! Post by: Paycheck on March 16, 2021, 08:48:19 PM Are you sick of these ridiculous ebay prices for GPUs? So am I. And I just thought of a new way to get back at these thieving, scamming FUCKERS.
I will simply hit their Buy It Now button. Then when they want their money, nothing will be sent and nothing will be paid. Let them go through the hassle of relisting and having their time wasted. I have a second ebay "shill" account I can use, and I don't care if they leave negative feedback on it. I'm going to do it. Join me! FIGHT DA POWER!!! I want to buy GPUs, but not badly enough to pay one penny over MSRP. And even less for used GPUs. I do this for MY profit, not anyone else's!!!

If scalpers are forced to sell at lower prices there will be even fewer GPU's available. The more expensive GPU's are, the fewer are bought. When they are cheaper, more are bought. This is economics 101. 'Expensive' is cheaper than 'not available', in a sense. Title: Re: Here is how we can STRIKE BACK against ebay GPU SCAMMERS!!!

Ebay and Amazon sellers have high fees to pay and lots of fraud to deal with so in the end they probably aren't actually making the money it appears on the surface. Also, this thread should not be in the marketplace Title: Re: Here is how we can STRIKE BACK against ebay GPU SCAMMERS!!! Post by: boyptc on March 17, 2021, 09:50:04 PM I don't shop on ebay but is there a way that the seller is a scammer? so if the prices are high, that means that they're already a scammer to you.
Well as I understand what you feel, I'm not going to do such a thing for the sake of what I feel about them. They really are overpricing GPUs but I'll wait until the dust settles and won't waste my time either doing such. I'll wait until Nvidia and other manufacturers produce new GPUs which will have a lot of supply again in the market pushing the prices of these overpriced GPUs down. But we'll never know when it will happen. :-\ |
