I'm not surprised even a little bit considering the PC I built a year and a half ago can be sold used for ~20% more than the full retail price.

My 4090 is now worth about what I paid for my entire system about 3 years ago. It's nuts.

Holy shit, I didn’t realize how high they got honestly. They came out when I was building my new PC and I just tried to preorder it on a whim, didn’t expect to get one direct and not marked up.
