Might be of interest to some

1 HDD, 2 sata SSD, & 2 M2 SSDs - I guess you'll be using most of those modular cables on the psu then..

Still haven't found the time to rebuild and commission my 5900x/RTX3090 PCSpecialist build nor do any of my desk re-config and RGB plans......nor build the brothers VRPC with my spare parts...nor build my media server nor build a different brothers media server. All parts in hand for 2 months now. Room is a mess with PC components and unopened PC component boxes. FML. No time and no energy. I sometimes think a caught Covid asymptomatically and have long Covid Fatigue!! LOL.

Anyway, I thought I had missed the boat by not getting around to selling my spare GTX1080 and RTX2060 months ago because I thought I heard things were getting back to normal in GPU land. Jaysus. They haven't improved that much and it looks like RTX2060's and GTX1080's are still fetching €450 on Adverts.ie.

I've decided that if I can still achieve that I'll deffo sell the RTX2060 (instead of putting it in Bro's VRPC with the 6700K) along with my old GTX1080 and surprise my brother with something like a 3060ti rather than pocketing the extra cash myself.

So where should I be looking for a 3060ti and what price should I expect to pay. Should I be looking for the Mining limited versions etc etc. What I mean for example is, should I be paying €776 for an 'In Stock' Zotac 3060ti from Caseking.de or should I be looking in less well known places or putting my name down on eVGA or pre-ordering in someplace that is getting regular stock drops and selling for closer to MSRP??

There's a bunch of ASUS RTX 3060TIs being sold directly by Amazon germany for €835 (when adjusted for Irish VAT & delivery)

Still feels like scalper pricing to me...

K.O.Kiki, I just wanted to ask a few questions:

I presume you contacted Nvidia after you snagged a 3080fe on scan with a drop?

What did you put as the delivery address or did you just leave it as collect in store?

How much were the import duties, was it just the Irish V.A.T and DHL's handling fees or did you have to pay any other taxes?

Almost pulled the trigger on a 3080ti today. Looked okay in sterling but it translated into €1700+ and I lost my bottle :pac:

What's the best sited to get a GPU now with brexit ? I seen a few people still manage to get from scan and deduct uk vat . Is this possible ? Or should I buy from Germany and if so how do I avoid there new vat charges . Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙏

Thanks.I'd like to get the ASUS TUF 3080 or maybe 3090 but not sure. I know GPUs are crazy money now but I've been saving for my pc for years. I'm quite new to pcs overall and never built one so could go pre built even but not to sure. If I decide to build it myself seems like it will be a headache to get the parts and not be charged vat or import duty 🤔. Would my best bet be Europe then for parts? I seen ordering from Germany charges 19% German vat and then irish once it arrives but maybe by using a German postal address you avoid avoid fees

No that's not how it works. That's only the case with buying from Britain as they're not part of the EU.

German sellers who sell to Ireland are meant to charge Irish rate of VAT at checkout, 23%. If you buy it and ship it to a mailbox address and then ship that to here, you'll be charged 19% VAT as they assume they are selling to a German customer. There will then be no VAT or customs charged on import to Ireland as we're both in the EU
