Hey, South African here, I run a retail store in SA. That GPU is brand new, but the price is still nuts. It's factory sealed with three year warranty, and the distributor has had that stock since new. They don't drop pricing on old stock, so if you keep hunting you'll also find the likes of brand new MSI GeForce 9800 GT, Abit Radeon X800, Celeron 347, Operton 940, etc, all priced the way they were when released.
That 780 Ti is still crazy though, even based on the insane cost pricing. The seller is trying to make a cool 60% markup (108.6% if you go by the "normal" price). It's on Takealot (our equivalent of Amazon) by a third-party seller, ironically called "Daily Deals Online" - LOL!

The PC at 12:44 ... all the hardware together adds up to that 3500,- EUR (just threw it together at an german retailer) and custom loops aren't done in a few hours. You also have to consider the time when he bought it. All in all i think he paid more than 3500,- for the hardware alone in 2022 and now sells it at 10-15% discount because of age, also not including his working hours. Hardware in europe is waaaaay more expensive than on your continent.

The one at 13:37 isn't even priced too crazy, parts are more expensive here already due to import tax. After which sellers up to price to make some more profit AND THEN there is also 19% VAT on top of that price. Oo, and prices are sometimes also extra inflated due to the price & demand of the market being different here.
Found this out the hard way when looking for best GPUs under $1000, checking the cheapest retailer and it being €1289, so around $1400...

For those of you saying we have the wrong winner on some of these, Linus declares 'Price is Right' rules early on, which means we're looking for the closest price without going over.
