A:Answer Its not due to shortages in chips. Its because the entire industry (except gamers, who are its backbone) LOVE what is happening. They are ALL raising prices and PLAN TO KEEP THEM THERE. All Best Buy has to do is have a "one video card per verified billing address" policy. BUT THEY DONT. And now, the card manufacturers no longer need provide the most difficult and costly parts of their "added value" commitment, customer support and product warranty. Because.. on top of these insane prices, every card sold on ebay, HAS NO WARRANTY. They L O V E love it. Get used to it or bribe your congressman the way Ticketma_____ did in 2017 (if you use a bot to scalp ____etmaster, you go to jail.) Dont hate the player.
