$500 3080?

[FAHEYGF87]

Am I missing something here? I read the listing about 8 times and didn't see any red flags other then the price. I ordered one, just in case it disappears, I can always return it if its bunk, I suppose. Fingers crossed.

Ships and sold by this seller.

Brand new account.

Not worth throwing $500 away imo.

Its a gamble, for sure, but Amazon is pretty good about handling disputes, in my experience. So if its not as described, worse case, I get my money back.

The inno 3d cards are pretty much the only ones I've seen constantly being scammed. I just ignore them on pcpartpicker, first one I've seen that's a ventus card though. As mentioned above, 500 dollars for a 3080 is a scam

maybe, but if they are trying at all, it might not be impossible to be scammed. either way, it's not worth the waste of time for something that is 100% a scam.

it's 100% a scam, waste of time, don't be greedy

 

you can get a 6900xt for 700usd now brand new, which makes the 3080...worth less, so not even "saving" much

People longing for cheaper Nvidia GPU's when it's pointed out to them they can get more performance for their money by buying AMD:

DON'T TELL THEM!!! The reason why the AMD prices are so good is because nVidia fanboys are spreading their disease!

I highly doubt this will surprise anyone, but the card never arrived.

 

I contacted amazon customer service and they gave me a full refund.

 

So the question remains, what is the end game for this seller? Do they take the money and run, leaving amazon to refund money that the seller now has? From my perspective, I'm not out anything but a couple minutes of purchasing time customer service time.

No idea the end game really. 

 

But with Ethereum finally going proof of stake, I'd expect that the used market is about to get flooded with cards and a $400 3080 won't be out of the norm. New stock would then drop in price as well.
