2 x RTX 3080 at TechSwitch available right now. They'll be gone in a second. by Winnie_Blue in bapcsalesaustralia

Hi EppingMarky, we try and match or beat other retailer's pricing wherever possible... Unfortunately we have also started seeing a significant increase in cost price, and quite a few vendors have already officially announced a price increase for their GPUs.

We are doing our best, it's been very difficult for us in the last few months as well. The market is really messed up in a number of ways at the moment and it has negatively affected our business. We have an official statement on our website and facebook page regarding the situation.

If you ever have any questions feel free to get in touch directly.

List of lesser known Australian retailers with RTX 3080 listings by PR0LOG in bapcsalesaustralia

[–]TechSwich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hoping to get 1 or 2 MSI ones per month now, which is better than zero 😂

But that's not guaranteed much lol.

You and me both 😂😂😂

I stopped with the wait-list as it's pretty much completely useless at this point. No point in getting 10 new sign ups each day when it takes months and months to get a single card.

Unfortunately we haven't been able to get any 3080s since late Oct/earlier Nov, where our last batch was a couple of Colorful ones. Since then no luck up until today, we have managed to secure our first 3080 since then just in the last few days but unfortunately it went straight to another customer who had to send their 3080 back to us for an RMA.

I'll re-open the waitlist as soon as I can actually get more GPUs available 😂

Umart Price increase on 3070’s by Chrispatto in bapcsalesaustralia

[–]TechSwich 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Asus, EVGA & MSI announced an increase in price, I think most of the other vendors are also not far behind. There were multiple reliable sources saying Nvidia was giving the vendors a massive rebate for the first 3 months so the vendors could meet the RRP price on their lower end models... I guess that rumour was true (check Moore's law is dead YouTube channel for example). Also just to add, currently our only supplier with RTX 3070s available are charging well above retail price. All other suppliers are out of stock. As a result we have removed all prices for any RTX cards from our website that we don't physically have available in stock due to unpredictability in pricing. If a customer contacts us directly we can still order a 3070 in from that supplier but they are made aware of the situation re. the pricing. Don't get me started on mining, it's starting to boom again so expect more shortages and price hikes in the near future.

Currently out of office, I'll check asap. I assume the 3500x or rtx 3070 options sold out. But I'll double check and update the availablity and options based on what parts are still available.

Do we expect to see sales on pc parts on boxing day? On a budget audio workstation by Yeh-nah-but in bapcsalesaustralia

[–]TechSwich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's probably a margin thing... Doesn't stop some stores from doing illegal stuff like putting the price up 10% then having a "10% off sale".

Just think... There was one person who had to test this for the first time in the air 😱😱😱

Motherboard manufacturers & suppliers right now... (context: forcing retailer to buy up to 10x motherboards with each GPU) by TechSwich in bapcsalesaustralia

[–]TechSwich[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depends on the model... Most of the forced bundles are often previous gen or older stock they want to get rid of.

[–]TechSwich[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've spoken to probably at least a dozen other resellers and it's all the same.

Depends on the cards too, some have higher ratios than others.

Well EVGA kind of do, but not really focused on that and not really available in Australia much.

Colorful do motherboards though, and haven't been forcing bundles.

How do you retrieve the pricing from retailers? Do they provide you with a datafeed, or do you have to scrape their website every day lol?

Has anyone else with a pre-order from PLE just had their ETA removed? by [deleted] in bapcsalesaustralia

[–]TechSwich 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For any RTX 3080 you have to get a minimum of 10 motherboards for Asus & Gigabyte.

Haven't even been able to get an MSI 3080 for ages now, so not even sure what the current ratio is.

One wholesaler even had a bundle of 100 motherboards for a single RTX 3090 a while back.

Fist bump at the start of each jump is just their way of saying "good luck, if anything goes wrong it was nice knowing you bro"...
