Ad 1st paragraph. I'll reiterate: "I am not your servant." Ad 2nd paragraph. I did not imply it was you sleeping. From your posts, it was apparent that shop you selected was kind of incompetent at best. They likely went to order your chip at launch day via land-mail and had to take a coffee break mid way to postal office. But it is nice that you kind of adopted the notion.

Servant? Just asking for help. i dont know all EU stores or the ones that ship to EU. I selected the shop where i do 90% of my shopping for PC hardware, never had an issue before. If they asked for the CPUs the last day or 2 weeks before, that i dont know, but i know them and im pretty sure this was a ¿wholesaler? issue not delivering them what they asked for because of being a small store. I still dont get why are you so mad about all this lol

The issue is Ebay allows these folks to list these products when new at over MSRP they should cap it for 12 months from release for all non special edition products so if you have a limited appeal product etc such as a branded game/coloured edition then let market forces dictate if its standard MSRP and nothing else, it would kill the scalpers straight off or refuse to offer a warranty and publicise it, in fact some goods do that already, you could force sellers to pre register the warranty with the serial so they would need full address etc details which is non transferable for warranty purposes, that would kill the scalpers as well. Ebay is the root cause as is Amazon.

They say this gpu is all of those rolled into one, which is good because they might leave when I buy it!
