How much would you pay for 5600x
The listed price of 280 pounds is just the manufacturer's suggested retail price. Many stores aren't selling at that amount anymore due to high demand. Fortunately, I got mine yesterday for 299€. It should be delivered tomorrow or Monday, similar to the RTX 3000 GPUs—back then you had to buy them directly at launch, which was nearly impossible. All listings since then are significantly more expensive.
Due to the pandemic, more individuals are staying at home and looking to upgrade or build new computers. With the intense demand, some resellers realized they could profit by selling hardware at prices higher than market value. Scalpers essentially exploit market conditions and unsuspecting buyers. Ultimately, most of the items end up sitting unused on shelves while scalpers wait to resell them for a profit. Consider this: Someone buys a 699$ RTX 3080 and later sells it for 1400$ or more on eBay. That’s essentially making a 700$ gain with minimal effort. This situation is problematic because many of these transactions lack genuine interest in using the hardware, focusing instead on quick profits.
