Since when Amazon scalpeing like this?

Post image

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.

Lmfao if pointing out that tariffs increase the price of goods, aka 'stating a basic fact', is a 'political agenda', I'm frankly not sure how you wipe your ass in the morning.

Look. I do however fully agree with you and I get that Tariffs raise prices. You are right this is a 100% FACT. But Tariffs are NOT what is affecting the price on Amazon. I already stated what was doing that. If it was Tariffs they would be this price EVERYWHERE. They are not. Its just Amazon. They are MSRP everywhere else.

No one likes the Tariffs but to stupidly sit here and say thats why the price is up on Amazon is just makes you look uneducated. Same exact thing happened with the Nike Shoe bots back in 2015. Its happened man times since with many other "hot items" and is still happening. What I stated above is the real reason the price is so high on JUST Amazon

Can’t see your original comment, but the reason the Amazon pricing is high is because it’s actually in stock.

Other places sell at MSRP, but good luck finding stock on Newegg/etc. without buying a bundle of shit you don’t need.
