TL;DR

Scalpers are struggling to sell the RTX 4080 above MSRP, but retailers won't let them return the cardsOur collective hearts are breaking for the poor scalpersFacepalm: It's no secret that the RTX 4080 has not been selling particularly well, primarily due to its $1,200 price tag, which most people feel is far too expensive.We're used to seeing graphics cards arrive with such high demand that they're quickly bought in bulk by scalpers and sold on auction sites at hugely inflated prices.That lack of demand and abundance of stock is evident on eBay, where many RTX 4080 cards are selling for around or just over their official store prices, a far cry from the bad times when GPUs were being scalped for three or four times their MSRP.It appears that being unable to sell the RTX 4080 cards has caused several resellers to return them for their money back—where allowed.There are more cards from different AIB partners arriving all the time, and the upcoming launch of AMD's cheaper Radeon RX 7900 series will likely make Nvidia's prices look even less appealing."
