It's not advisable to build a mining rig right now, GPUS are out of stock in every store in my country and that's not the worst part, I bought my gtx1660 ti for 400$ each and today it's 640$, the fact is people even still don't mind buying this cards at 640$ each, are they stupid? I don't know but getting back ROI should be their most worries, I think it's now nothing but FOMO

As your title says, FOMO. Miners or new miners won't mind if they'll be paying with a premium for each card that they'll get. Why? because the market is in good shape and it doesn't matter to them because ROI can be faster this time.
Those who buy cards without proper knowledge are the ones that are at the most risk. Because they just got into mining because of hype.

And who knows, some of them are using renewable energy like they are investing in solar panels? So even if they buy expensive GPUs, they can still recover their investments. Though at first, it is an expensive investment, but you will reap your rewards after you recover your ROI. And you have free electricity after that. So we don't know the reasons why people are still buying even if it is expensive.

That's another investment in solar panels. And as I've said, miners/buyers should have enough knowledge before getting into mining. The winners are the ones who understand the risk of mining with the crypto market and as well as expenses that await with their activity.
We know some of the reasons why people are buying those expensive cards. There's less supply in the circulation and that makes them a winner for getting a few from those for mining purposes.
