Some company or person is getting insane rich inserting graphics cards into slots.

Even on a GT 1030 they give the offer of an $84 installation -- more than the price of the card... what is going on here?!

It's the same for pretty much any installation service, you're paying for their time and possibly travelling (if done at your house).

I do my own installations where possible for everything, not just PC stuff... so washer/drier, cooker (unless gas), shower etc (unless lots of pipe work involved). Most things can be self taught unless needed quicker, or if you have to conform to some safety requirements, like if you need the work signed off on by an inspector.

 

Please quote my post, or put @paddy-stone if you want me to respond to you.
