I snagged one right before the end of the year and right before the prices really started climbing again. It's currently $45+ more than the price when I ordered mine. Even then the price had already gone up a bit from the lowest point back in mid to late November.This sucks, I was hoping to pick up another 4TB Teamgroup MP34.
Ya, I bought 2 around Xmas to put in my laptop, want to throw 1 in my Legion Go. Guess I 'll stick with 2TB til Xmas again.I snagged one right before the end of the year and right before the prices really started climbing again.

That is not a scalping.Well seeins how I bought over $2k worth of 2 & 4TB 850x's late last year when prices bottomed out, I guess I could just wait a few months & start reselling them for more than I paid for them, but then that would make me a sleazeball scum of the earth scalper wouldn't it ?......
Which is something I absolutely will NEVER, EVER be !
And just an FYI, all but 4 of those drives were/are for Dec, Jan, Feb & upcoming client builds, and YES I passed most of the savings on to those clients
Maybe not technically, but still a scummy, opportunistic, greed-mongering thing to do IMHOThat is not a scalping.
Scalping is buying something that's in high demand and low supply then reselling for a profit. That's scummy.Maybe not technically, but still a scummy, opportunistic, greed-mongering thing to do IMHO
Ok then, just send me about $4K & the whole lot is all yoursScalping is buying something that's in high demand and low supply then reselling for a profit. That's scummy.
If you're sitting on a new in box item you bought in the past, availability is good but prices are inflated, there is nothing wrong with you selling it to make a profit from what you originally paid. Someone looking to buy that product might have to pay more for it brand new, so they're saving money and you're turning a profit. Nothing scummy happening here. Capitalism at work.

I would say tracking the price via pcpartpicker, camelcamelcamel, or comparing it against the price you paid in the past. Inflated might be the wrong word to use. SSDs are generally going up in price across the board.How do you personally determine if a price is inflated on a product that has good availability?
The markup calculation you come up with will not be the same calculation that someone else would come up with. You need to define what you think an inflated price is before your post will have any tangible meaning.

If you're selling it at less than the market rate, that provides value to someone. If you bought it in the past at a lower rate, you also make a profit. Every party benefits in this transaction.
