PSU prices due to recent world events

ubuntu-guru · June 25, 2020

Maybe someone has an explanation because to me this makes zero sense.

At present, EVGA is out on most power supplies, as is the story with Corsair. So naturally, most people go to places like Newegg or Amazon to find alternative matches. And usually, companies like EVGA also sell on Amazon to reach a broader customer base. Normally in the past, EVGA matches all prices, so if they sell it on their website, they keep that price on Amazon, but it seems like at the moment; they are massively inflating the prices.

I could see this if the seller were some 3rd party company and they were just trying to take advantage of the situation. But according to this listing, EVGA themself is the seller, but yet there's a x2.5+ price increase between sites.

So the question is; why.

See the links for the exact same product, both sold by EVGA:

Amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Supernova-Modular-Warranty-220-G3-0750-X1/dp/B005BE058W

EVGA Website:

https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=220-G3-0750-X1

Again, it just blows me away that this is EVGA themselves doing this. A 3rd party reseller from some small company, sure. Just makes no sense.

Human malware fallout is the reason... mostly logistics of restocking.

In that Amazon link, EVGA isn't the one selling it, DealsPro1 is. The only other seller on that page is OutletPC.

The EVGA website shows the MSRP price of $129, and shows it as out of stock.

The only price on Amazon for the PSU is from a third party seller; outlet PC.

The G3 model is end of life anyway so I'd be surprised if it restocks. If you were planning on buying one I would start shopping around for something else.
