This is fucking crazy. Robbers and thieves all around, before it was corsair canceling the order and jacking up the price of the same pre-built by 800 usd, now they ask 500 usd extra for the supposedly ram that was in stock after the order is placed. What's next? Bring your own ram pre-builts?

>>107809102If it's Ontario they'll have to give it to him for the original price (if he makes a fuss). Not sure how other provinces work.
>>107809109>all prices are firm and non-negotiableguess that's a lie
>>107809121Nope. No contract exists until the product is dispatched. Read contract law.
I already made over 5000 euro's from my Samsung and SK Hynix stocks since "liberation day".One day I will trade it all in for a pair of RAM sticks of my own.
>>107809584>Read contract law.All of it?
>>107809102When the words "customer" and "checkout" are placed this close, I can't help but read it as "cuckstomer".
>>107809102What if there is no shortage and it's just a huge industry grift to see how much people are willing to pay?
>>107811406Wouldn't suprise me.
>>107811406Because its exactly that. It already happened with GPUs.
>>107809102lol how's that even legal?In my country you pay the price that's announced (even if the shop made a mistake).The shop bought the RAM, added profit margin and put the offer. They can't change the price after the order has been placed because with that move it's a legal purchase agreement.
>>107811406The shortage is real but I guarantee you most of the price increases is a griftCOVID caused a shitload of normies to be into hobbies when they shouldn't and they brought their consumerism and general retardation with them.
>>107811406not mutually exclusive. It would be dumb to suggest there are zero incoming problems with stock availability because AI madness and fab shortages etc - that bits not made up. But equally, the second retailers feel that probable price increases are part of general consciousness, they are scalping customers for existing stock. The key part of OP was 'in stock at time of ordering'. And if it was, its already been fairly priced. tldr, they should have to honor this purchase unless CLEAR AND OBVIOUS pricing error. Which scalping after the fact (because why the fuck not) most certainly isn't.
>>107813407>COVIDDude Covid was 3 years ago. The current price burst has nothing to do whatsoever with Covid but everything with market manipulation and grift.
>>107809644if you have the time
>>107813451Didn't say COVID was the cause but COVID brought along alot of people who refuse to question or understand how much shit should be worth.All the rapid and sudden price increases are a higher order affect of these people getting into hobbies because of COVID lockdowns Retailers and manufacturers understand now that they have a consumer base that is less than rational and won't question prices.This hasn't just been limited to PCs but everything.
>>107813508The prices didn't get that crazy for all the three years despite shortages due to lockdowns. Nothing ever in recent tech history compares to the current inflation, which is entirely caused by the AI bubble.
>>107813538Where you not present when GPUs went stupid with COVID?GPUs tripled in price and afterwards Nvidia and AMD set new standards for pricing after realizing how much retards are willing to payOr are you incapable of understanding that previous behavior has knock on effects to the present day?
>>107809102This is just classic PC-Canada, they constantly do shit like this. Oh sure you'll get the product but at what price? Who knows because they change the pricing daily.
>>107813590No they did not. Not like now. My GPU costs 4 times more than a year ago.
>>107813624So nobody ever overpaid for a GPU during COVID?Scalping and 200-300% price increases just didn't exist?Do you not fucking understand that because people actually paid higher prices during previous shortages, that sets the stage for manufacturers and retailers to attempt even higher increases?All this shit is not mutually exclusive. You see 400% increases because certain "people" already throwing money at 200-300% pricing.
>>107813662There's only so many people like that around. The vast majority of crypto GPU buyers were normies who treated it as an invested and didn't care how much they paid for it as long as number goes up. Manufacturers cna charge 2x as much as previous gen if they want to but it's their loss of it results in 0.1x the sales and revenue
>>107813662The GPUs and the RAM now is simply not available. The crypto mining bubble was nothing compared to the current craze.And now we don't even have Covid or lockdowns the prices are entirely caused by hoarding and greed.
>>107813686>There's only so many people like that aroundThere is more than there should be, and that's the issue I'm getting at.Stores like what's in the OP wouldn't be that bold to not honor the price if they didn't feel confident they had a another sucker lined up if the first didn't pay.
Clown world..
>>107809584I don't know Canadian law, but usually handoff of a good marks the end of a sale, not the start. "Dispatched" is also ambiguous, there is no meaningful difference between hiring a courier to deliver a psckage to the consumer, and hiring a courier to move a package between two storagehouses you own, or even moving it yourself. In both cases you are still the owner of the thing until it's actually in posession of the buyer
>>107811406>see how much people are willing to pay?This is literally always the case, retard. They were not selling at cost before.
I never thought that I would say that but I really wish, China would get EUV ready and fill the consumer hardware supply gap that's been ripped open by ScamAI and co.
