Where can I buy GPUs for mining rig? - Mustufa77 - Feb 25, 2021
Hey there.
I'm planning to build my own mining rig but all the new GPUs are sold out everywhere. Is there a way I can get my hands on the latest GPUs or will I have to wait for them to be back in stock?

buy them used off someone in your city perhaps? (craigslist FB marketplace)
the returns won't be much
I recommend you actually just invest instead

If you are in the US, I think Best Buy is the "best" place to get them because a decent amount they sell on their website is for "curbside pickup", so there is a better chance of getting one locally, they had a drop today but I wasn't able to get any lol, It took me only like 10 seconds to get on their website after the drop and I still wasn't able to get any, I don't know if you have heard that the PS5 is hard to get, well... getting a GPU is like 10 times harder and I'm being serious, next time ill have to be faster, they usually restock every 2 weeks, also you can try Newegg Shuffle.

You won't be finding retail pricing for brand new GPUs, unfortunately. Your local classifieds or eBay is your best bet if money isn't an issue. Otherwise, wait for a restock from Bestbuy, Newegg, etc. They sell out within seconds.

This is becoming almost ridiculous, i was checking a site that had the new 3060 released today in stock, it had 5 different models all in stock, in a matter of minutes all gone, i didn't had even time to press the add to chart button. This how the market is! BTW forget ebay, don't feed hungry scalpers that are asking pornographic prices.

If ya'll are serious about mining and want multiple GPUs, you should consider purchasing a bot that autochecks out for you. You can leave it running 24/7 and as soon as it's in stock, it'll check it out. They range about 3-5k USD for a license at the moment.

wow thats a lot of money, I dont think I would buy a bot that expensive, I mean, I cant even afford it lol, but by any chance do you know where to get that bot?? honestly I was thinking on spending 2k-3k on GPUs but they are impossible to get, not sure if buying a bot would be the only way to get them but its better to have the source in case I want to buy a bot in the future.

You'd have to buy the bot on the resale market through Discord (I don't have the channel/server link at the moment). It's associated with Sneaker botters and such, they've just branched out to hitting other items instead of just shoes. Yeah it's expensive, but these GPUs are also instant $100-200 profit per GPU they hit, so these guys usually make their money back quickly.
