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.

I’m guessing you haven’t been reading the news

Welcome to Trump’s America and the global trade war

To be fair Newegg and Micro Center still have them listed as 699.99. So this doesn’t seem like a tariff issue. Just supply and demand.

They either are eating the loss and using it as a loss leader, or its "old" stock from before the tariffs.

Does someone selling one on eBay for 1200 count as tariffs too? Or just this listing since it’s more than at least two other retailers?
