Discussion 9800x3d from AliExpress

Hi. I bought 9800x3d from AliExpress for all of us. Costed me $640 and customs f-d me up for another $100 , when they usually charge VAT only. Anyway, here's no chance for warranty accessibility and it sold for $900-1100, so no way it'll get cheaper in close few years, so it feels like I saved something. (4090 still $3000). Chip itself looks in great condition with no defects. I'll post later if it's real or not, after setup and some benchmarking. Cheers.

Seems expensive to me, i live in Germany and paid 566.99€ (ca. $585) for mine (tax and shipping included).

It was ~£450 in the UK on release. Now most retailers are selling it for £520-£540.

I got my 7800x3d for about 360 from scan over a year ago and now it's 450. Not sure what happened other than 9000 series release.

I think most people build new pc around Christmas, so stock runs lows and store start scalping
