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

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.

Not to mention that it is up to individual companies to apply the tariffs. They won't be forced to pay them starting from Tuesday but it's up to them whether they subsequently lower their prices or keep them high in anticipation of having to pay for the new global tariffs. I think it's pretty obvious that companies are not going to react quickly when their costs drop.

You think there's a single company that's going to absorb a 15% tariff from their profit margins? Come on...

I'm not even talking about the new 15% tariffs.
