Singapore prices

[Galion]

Holy shit today I found out about Singapore prices for gpus, they cost twice the price we pay

A rtx 2080 cost $1500 - $1700 how do they even make a high end pc?

that's pretty normal here, given the tax & import fees those distributors charges us.

Wow I never expected it to be that high I thought maybe a $100 - $200 rise but not $400

Indonesian stores sell them at $3000s USD for theGTX 2080, it's not even the "Ti". Awful! They're thinking that they still can sell them at the mining fever GPU prices level. Greedy AF!

 

1 USD = 14500 IDR

So for that MSI GTX 2080 GX Trio is Rp 45.375.000 = US $3130 and they still tag the GPU with word "cheap" or "Best Deal Promise". LOLOLOLOL!

 

Even the RTX 2070 are around $1200 US

Omg that's too much?!? 

Me paying $1300 for the ti one is already too much $3000 wth

Ikr. Indonesian goverment take 10% (import) tax from the base price, and the local distributors also takes profit above the total base price + 10% tax, then all the retailers (smaller computer stores) also takes profit from the already increased price (base+10%+distributors), so buyers will pay (base+10%+distributor+retailer) price while most of the retailers or computer stores here are still mining minded when to put GPU prices for them to sell..

 

But when I try to sell my GTX 1060 6Gb, used market here only consider a used 1060 6Gb at 1/3 of the base price from what they sell it as new.

 

They are really greedy people..

 

This is getting into my nerves..
