Yup, this video's been circulating around the forums, and it sucks to see the current GPU situation unfolding like this. Might be a hot take, but the people buying these listings(People looking to turn huge profits, desperate people in need of a GPU, etc.) are just as bad as the scalpers because they are only promoting what the scalpers do by giving in, and so more scalping happens, and it just becomes a never-ending cycle where the consumer loses.

What I find interesting is setting up an LLC so you can buy a pallet of GPUs for resale and your not a retail outlet!

I'm sure nobody could prevent a single dude from purchasing 72 EVGA cards, it was impossible. Could have been 72 cards for the EU queue, but again no way to prevent it, completely normal.
It's been one several Ytubers channel, it's bad press for EVGA, maybe they change their ways, i doubt it, but who knows.

EVGA didn’t sell these cards. You are trying to justify “bad press” with no information of what happened. People just assume something they don’t even remotely comprehend.

And whoever ended up buying it already made his money back and probably sold the cards for more than he paid for them.

Why would they list all of those 3060 cards as "Used" if they were all factory-sealed? This is the kind of stuff that really makes it bad for the rest of us who are just trying to get ONE card through the regular way of purchasing them.

I can't believe how many bids the auction actually had, and that after including the shipping fees, each card was $1,136 Then the seller had to pay eBay fees, possibly PayPal fees, and other fees, which probably increased the overall cost of each card to $1,200 when the MSRP is $389 Even if the buyer tried to sell each one individually, how much could they actually make when their base cost of each card is approximately $1,200 ?

What's funny is the bulk buyer drastically overpaid for the cards.

Considering that the coin they are mining is steadily climbing, i'm sure they have NO issues mining at a temporary loss.

Pretty much this. It's like buying equipment to start your business so you can make money. The initial cost doesn't really mean anything if you are looking at going into a business that IS sometimes rapidly increasing in value and other times just steadily. Sad truth. The real problem is I don't really see an end to this bull**** unless really tight restrictions are set on purchasing these. Botters, Scalpers and miners will always be incentivized to skurt the rules and regulations of buying cards as cards directly = more profit.

But they are really not doing the queue... It's just a marketing tactic to make them look good. No cards have been given out since October in reality... So yeah, waiting 7 months in an imaginary queue to make you feel better doesn't change the fact only EVGA gpus you'll be getting in the EU are the overpriced ones from the retailers and resellers.

Maybe there is a reason for that, such as the yields are simply better on every other flavor vs the dies for the 3080 for some reason? EVGA simply can't automatically abandon contractual agreements they've made with retailers and distributors just because they decided to start a queue system. There has got to be a better reason than just having it be "imaginary" considering people who signed up for every other 30-series GPU are getting notification emails.

ALL the queues have been stuck in October and November last year. They sent like one 3060 so the queue there is on Oct 29 - wow! Meanwhile, the retailers in EU are flipping EVGA gpus like pancakes every month for dirty prices... Sure, obligation to them, but no cards sent to EU, not a single one for 7+ months...really? If you are going to ignore us and blatantly deceive us like that, just stop pretending you care.

Is it really deception though? You realize the queue system is not a promise or a guarantee. Its simply a wait list. Will you get one? Yes, eventually. But you surely won't be getting one sooner than someone who camps out a Microcenter or joins one of those bot networks on Discord. Also remember the spreadsheet for the queue is user-generated. Its not something EVGA created. Just something that a few dedicated people decided all on their own to create. Despite the creators' dedication to keeping it updated, the ONLY movement they are able to track is when someone who actually put their information in the tracker actually returns to it to report that they receive a notification. I'm more willing to bet that people in the queue that put their info in the tracker, are getting notifications but aren't updating the tracker once they give EVGA money. People in the EU reporting that they're not getting anything; I'm not in the EU so I can't speak on that. However judging from others posts I've seen, EVGA has a smaller footprint in the EU than any other AIB who are HQ'd in the EU. So it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility that those who are in the queue in the EU are getting the short end of the stick, no matter how much effort EVGA actually puts forth. Remember, at the end of the day, its a company whose goal is to get people to buy their products - no matter how or where that actually happens. The scummy part, is that there are distributors who are more to blame for the lack of supply than it is the manufacturer themselves. If you look around, there are some distributors that are simply taking in stock and then selling it directly from their warehouse without ever actually providing the allocated stock that was meant for another client. Now there are legal repercussions for that, absolutely, but until they are called out on it - they're getting away with it scott-free. Like that one auction of 72 3060Ti's. Where did all those come from? Directly from EVGA? From a Distributor? Or some collective 3rd party method that had NOTHING to do the supply chain at all? No one knows, except those who actually participated in it.

The EU queue has been stuck in October and November respectively. The NA queue gets updated by people but yes, here in EU people are so different that we all collectively provide no feedback to the community...
It's disappointing but if anything it backfired because now they just look even worse for pretending they care. Their cards are shipped from Taiwan to EU, so it's not like they are hauling EVGA gpus from Mars and that's why the prices are so high...
It's cheaper for us atm to buy a gpu in the US and pay the shipping+VAT, but these bulk goods somehow cost EVGA 3x more to move around EU since they keep flipping them here for over 2x msrp.

While I don't disagree mcarterstoner, I think the photo of the shrink wrapped pallet leads people to automatically assume that they came directly from EVGA, which, though possible I suppose, shouldn't be assumed. I think the GPU shortage is leading to people to automatically go into attack mode (which I get it,...fuses are short when they can't get what they want). But you are right, this is definitely a case of perception is reality to many.

Not surprised at all, then again if you remember EVGA's European queue for the 3060 glitched in the opening minute and let a bunch of bots buy them.

It is not something impossible to achieve in some countries, you simply have to contact the distributor and place an order with an interesting volume.
The problem is that the EVGA RTX 3060 Ti XC is the only RTX 30 that fits my ITX rig, and this **** got 72 for scalping.

The best part, that causes me to rub my hands together like Mr. Burns, is when the supply chain picks up and prices drop. These clowns get left with all that stock that they can't get rid of LOL. Egg meets face.
