appears that being unable to sell the RTX 4080 cards has caused several resellers to return them for their money back—where allowed. YouTube channel Moore's Law is Dead spotted that Newegg is not letting buyers return the cards for refunds, possibly in response to so many scalpers trying to cut their losses.

Wonder if some cards might end up under mrsp as scalpers try to get their money back.

I called this right before the 4080 release. Scalpers would buy, not be able to sell, and try to return them.

 

EDIT: And what's funny is these aren't even worth MSRP. Depending on brand, these would be second-hand at this point and warranty non-transferable.
