Never buying from mdcomputers ever again. Biggest scalpers of India (along with vedant and a few others).
Whenever they see demand, they just jack up the prices after luring a few customers via okay-ish deals.
These two years taught me enough about which sellers you can rely on and which you can't. I would happily pay a couple thousand more rather than buying from mdcomputers.
Understand your anger but here is what my theory is -
1. Crypto was booming and everyone was buying GPU+Power Supplies. No one talks about SMPS but their prices got boosted up too.
2. Small players also starting building ghetto rigs with less than 6 GPU.
3. These retailers started to see this and jacked up the prices plus collected the stock, in their mindset thinking that they will jack the prices more.
4. Now this will impact the AIB and also AMD + NVIDIA.
5. Now they cannot just sell out the stock at cheaper prices because AMD and NVIDIA wont let them too, so slowly we see these flash sales and there will be more because the next gen is about to be launched and they cant pile up on the old one.
I actually missed the 6700XT for 39k and 3080 TUF 12GB for 74k. Thought that will book it in the morning next day.
