None of them are buy now. Not their fault people have bid the price up that high.

I'm not actually trying to be as grumpy as it seems.

I will find your mentions of Ikea or Gnome and I will /s post.

If you care about stopping BS behavior then you will consider where not to buy your water cooling parts.

They have a website where everything else can be bought but they decided to have graphics cards on a bidding system. Aren't they just circumventing around not being called scalpers by putting it up for bidding and knowing that they will get more money instead of just selling it on their website for $300+ above MSRP.

YES. Everyone complains about not finding a card because of scalpers and then complains further when someone decides to call out companies for their shit behavior. If you don't care why did you click on the form and decide to comment more than once?

We know not to buy off scalpers. Its not like anyone here is a Performance PCs eBay page fanboy, so theres nothing to argue or prove with this thread.

If no one bid on it, where else would they sell it? On their site for MSRP?

Whose the dumb one here? People paying that much for a GPU because they need FRAMES NAO!, or the company that is accepting the money that they are willing to pay?

I'm not actually trying to be as grumpy as it seems.

They have it up on their website for MSRP+$300 but I guess that's not enough. The point is if you care about stuff like this then you will know not to give Performance-PCs anymore of your money. If you want to promote this shit behavior then don't do anything or defend the shit behavior so that they keep doing it.

Lmao. No one here is supporting performance pcs. Everyone is scalping, no point in calling out a single one.

 

The point of the forums is to create discussion, not to complain about scalpers. Everyone is mad. We can't change it. Move on

I never have given them any money. I didn't know they were a thing until you created this thread. You've done more in advertising for them than stopping people from buying from them.

Literally every single big retailer is doing this? They are just taking advantage of the market, if people are going to pay these prices for these cards, then that’s the persons fault, not the retailers.

 

they aren’t all scalping these on eBay, but they are all selling these cards at inflated prices. What your doing isn’t going to change that, and once again literally everyone else is doing this, so you aren’t spreading a good message.

What a defeatist mentality, "why live when your going to die anyway".

This is where your wrong, we can change it if keep track of who decided to exploit their customers. If enough people know what kind of shit company they are, performance-pc will get hurt in the only place they care about, their wallet.

We aren’t defending the behavior of scalped prices and scalpers in general, we are just saying that what they are doing is taking advantage of the current market. Literally everyone is doing this. Now stop crying and move on with your life.

You have advertised that you care about complaining about Performance-PCs when no one else does.

It's your first time on the forum and you've already been a word I shouldn't say here.
If you think we're dumb, why don't you leave. Frankly I'd be glad to have you gone.

What was your point in this entire thread??? Tell us not to buy from this random seller?

None of us regulars are that dumb.

Do you think I made this thread just for you? Why are commenting if you don't care about the topic?
Your literally coming at me for posting about something I care about and saying "well I don't care about it", WHY ARE YOU COMMENTING THEN?
