861,28 USD reasonable price for rtx3070?

[Sila Drenja]

So I've been checking the prices in my region(or, well regional retailers) and I've noticed that rtx 3070 costs almost 900 dollars (5499 HRK, which is local currency), and I'm seeing on the internet that it's supposed to cost 499 USD, aka 3186,11 HRK, so the price is just shy of double then is being said. Is the 499 price tag unrealistic and are they going to stay at that price point, is it inflated due to the all the bots buying the GPUs which is an information that had been circling around lately, or are Croatian retailers just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥?

It's impossible to tell as your region prices will be different in many cases then the msrp in another countries without factors like VAT or other issues.

You would need to check if the site selling it is a reseller and not a normal store and if it's a normal store see what the prices have been since the release through some kind of tracking website that shows the prices since release.

well, retailers in my country charge 2500 USD (16270 HRK) for 3080, so maybe in the rest of the world, but not here

Well just converting your currency into USD has never been a terribly accurate way to compare pricing.

1. Currency value fluctuates.
   
2. Doesn't account for taxes.
   
3. Doesn't account for cost of importing, etc.
   
4. Supply and demand.

Yes, pricing is probably screwed up in part because of supply issues. I mean take the Nintendo Switch, before the pandemic it was $249 USD and there's been such high demand during the pandemic the price has been in the $400-$550 USD price range. Demand is far outstripping supply.

And the 30 series has had supply issues since day one of launch. And then your country is probably not a the biggest market that's going to get supply priority. And that's not to say what the normal costs are of importing that hardware to your country, or the taxes. Pricing gets real messy real fast.

I'm checking every day, it's a retailer with bunch of IT equipment which is basically a Croatian go to store for IT (it's called instar), and as of now(I've been tracking the prices daily because I'm thinking of buying), this is the cheapest in Croatia there is, which is surprising since Croatia isn't exactly the richest country there is. instar is currently the cheapest one, and only cheaper one costs just around 20HRK(like 2 bucks) less, and it's on a sketchy website.

easier said then done, It's not as easy finding the international retailer that does ship to Croatia, We're happy amazon does, and that's only on a few products, and regarding amazon, prices there are even worse.

There's got to be a way for you to not get ripped so hard. Those are beyond stupid prices.

buy from newegg and use a freight forwarder, it's easy once you learn how.

Yeah, wait for pricing to return to normal or supply to satisfy demand.

I mean after all in late 2017 and early 2018 GPU prices were all screwed up because of the run on crypto mining. The solution was to wait for the bubble to burst and prices to normalize.

And again in his case there's also other factors that make converting HRK to USD to derive the price problematic. There's usually reasons why things don't convert to 1:1.

"Funny," I just posted here earlier today that Amazon, prob. the world's largest retailer, is currently selling MSI Gaming Trio rtx 3070 for 999 USD and now 1099.99 USD.. Yes, that's right: the rtx 3070. You'd expect this outfit to not be virtually scalping; instead, no doubt it's getting what its asking price is. It worries me a little--what if this inflated price sticks around? This is Amazon, we're talking about, not some hole in the wall.

Since Best Buy is still pricing these at the msrp, ie: Founders Ed. for 499.99, I'd say: on paper, 861. 28 USD is a rip-off. But in reality, the seller is pricing it according to the marketing trend in one's area because in all likelihood, that's what people are willing to pay (based on supply, tariffs and seller greed).

edit to correct some pricing values.

Newegg is currently sold out. Best Buy is sold out. Micro Center is sold out. These are the ones pricing the rtx cards fairly.

Amazon is a grey market.
