Prove You're Not a Scalper and I'll Trade You My RTX 3090

So picture this. It's September 1st, 2020. Jensen Huang strutted across his kitchen and pulled a graphics card heavier than some newborn children from his oven, promising groundbreaking performance in a beautiful package. You drool at the sight and quickly mark down the release date in your calendar, pushing aside all other responsibilities to a later date. I mean, this is a brand new GPU. This only happens every what, two years? When the release day comes, you're sitting eagerly at your monitor spamming F5 frivolously to avoid thinking too much about the loan you just took out to buy a new GPU. The clock strikes 6AM. You add a GPU to your cart. You proceed to checkout only to realize your fresh new card has been ripped from your clutches by thousands of bots flooding the site worse than America's idea of Black Friday.

Just minutes later you find listings for these cards blowing up on eBay, albeit at ridiculous prices. 50%, 70%, sometimes even 120% over MSRP. You wince, as you realize this is only just the beginning.

In today's video I go on a bit of a rant about the current GPU market and how everything is being hyperinflated thanks to scalping heathens. I also set off on a journey to attempt to trade my EVGA RTX 3090 FTW3 Ultra model for the NVIDIA RTX 3090 Founders Edition, and show you a little bit of the nonsense that comes with trying to sell things on Facebook Marketplace.

*Something to note is that I mention the person I bought the RTX 3090 Founders Edition off of had it listed online for $1,650. He was kind enough to knock another $50 off making the total purchase $1,600. After the tax he spent, he only made about $11 profit, which I honestly don't consider to be scalping as I could've just brought the dude a big $11 order a food and it wouldn't have made much of a difference. Just goes to show that there actually are half decent people left out there.
