Overpriced Components

Tell me if you have ever found a component or other piece of tech selling for a bit more than it should. And I'm not talking about current GPU prices. Also by a bit more, I mean a LOT more.

 

Here's a retailer selling a used IO shield for an ASUS Maximus VI, it's only a little bit overpriced, in my opinion.

Something is wrong with this world.

I've seen some pretty big mistakes on amazon too, ~$200 motherboards selling for more like $700 and so on

Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.
