Now that I switched from ASICs to GPUs, I have a direct interest in getting the best deal possible.  And these GPU selling jackholes think they can charge ridiculous amounts for them based on the laws of supply and demand.  As a Republican, I am all for making the most profit possible, but only when it works in my favor.

But their way only works if you work with them.  This overpriced GPU horseshit has been going on long enough.  NO MORE!!!

And the solution is simple.  Set a price, and refuse to pay more, regardless of how badly you want them.  Those are not the last GPUs for sale on the planet, more will be made.

Offhand, I'd say no more than $50 over retail price for any GPU you want to buy, Google it and read the reviews on it when it was new and base your offer price off of that.

Imagine these overpriced sellers sweating when all of a sudden, their profits disappear.  Days go by with no profits and the wife is starting to nag them to get the money back in the kids college fund like they promised.  No one will buy the GPUs they spent thousands on, maxed out their credit cards on, took out a second mortgage on.  If they want to make a profit, it won't be from us!!!

Some of my own personal limits are in the general range of $250 for a 1060, $350 for a 1070, and maybe around $500-550 for a 1080.  A Ti might get an extra $25.  Founders edition?  They can wipe their ass with their Founders' Edition logo, it makes no difference to us, any overclocking will do more.

So stand with me and JUST SAY NO to insane GPU prices.  Let their ads run and run.  Let their ebay auctions end without your bid. Make them regret their greed.

Spread the word.  This only works if we all stand firm.  Tell everyone on other forums that high GPU prices are over!!!
