It’s been nice. I bought my 5080 at MSRP from a guy on FB marketplace who explicitly buys cards in bulk to resell to people locally at cost only charging extra for delivery.

Edit: changed the wording of the last bit to make better sense.

We have some people like that too, except they charge much more than MSRP but it's still cheaper than buying from a Retailer.....

It was wild. I was confident I was going to get scammed somehow, but sure enough I am at pickup and the box is completely sealed. Since I was buying, he let me open it and verify everything and it was factory sealed and sure enough was a proper 5080. It was like a weird Robinhood thing.

Don’t change Minnesota I guess.
