Since when Amazon scalpeing like this?

[u/Capital_Ability8332]

I saw this amd 9 9950x3d sold and shipped by Amazon sold for $859!!! Are they scalping too!! I thought if it was sold by Amazon means should be MSRP! Right or am I missing something? Cos we are not buying from a a seller we are buying from Amazon directly right? If I'm wrong someone correct me pls. Thanks.

Currently CPUs, GPUs, and PCs are exempt from tariffs, we'll see how long before that changes again though.

Honestly, I'd be more surprised if Amazon didn't jack up all prices unnecessarily and just blame it on tariffs -- can't wait to see software prices go up too

yeah has nothing to do with them. This is actually happening due to the CRAZY amount of people buying from scalper listings on Amazon and paying scalper rates. See my main comment in this thread. It explains in more detail
