How to buy GPUs

[ActivePrime]

Hello,

I am from Pakistan trying to make a rig with 30 series cards eg.3060Ti and I am unable to get it, history repeating it self as I try to purchase when the 20 series released. The ones I am getting are outrageously expansive and I never got a single card on Nvidia's suggested price. In Pakistan the prices never go down ever while Nvidia giving them the best prices to the distributers and importers, eg. AMD rx580 used I am getting from the market for $472 and Nvidia 1070Ti $491 while Nvidia mentioned $399 for 3060Ti, this is outrageous. I never got a single card here on it's original price since 4 years and I really hate that. Today I got the price of 3090Ti for $2706.96 means double the suggested price. Is this ever gonna change ? If YES! How ? The gamers are really crying and suffering a lot because of this.

Hi, there will be several reasons why computer components are so expensive in your country.

High import dutys, and normal taxes plus shipping costs to your country.
Products are difficult to get,
Market price,
High profit for the reseller/dealer.
And more reasons that perhaps other forum readers can tell.

here is a site with a sample for importing goods:
