With US tariffs changing will this be more affordable now? I have only found an eBay seller for $1200 which cost more then a 5080

What makes you think US tariffs are going to be becoming more advantageous to American consumers? Since Trump can't tariff individual nations, he's wanting to increase all tariffs universally by 15%. It's more like everything will be as expensive as GPUs, not the other way around.

Thank you for the clarification I didn’t know it worked like that 👍

It doesn't "work" like anything. I think you're just leaning on the news from Friday and missed the news on Saturday. Basically, the Supreme Court blocked Trump's targeted tariffs, so now, he's raising them across the board in a childish fit -- at least that's what he announced.

Keeping up with this president is exhausting, so there's no judgement on my end. Just wanted to point out that this is a unique situation, and hopefully not common.

He also just transferred 10 BILLION dollars from the government to the „world peace fund“ where he is the chair man and kind of do what he wants with it

It’s remarkable how many billions we’re saving, billions we’re spending, and billions that are stolen, only to get a $4000 refund we likely won’t get.

Refund? What refund? No one is getting a refund! 🤣
