[QUOTE="rdst_1, post: 2316702, member: 25986"] Thanks for understanding the distinction. The thing is, not everyone understands this and as you can check a few posts above, and call for banning resellers completely and this has been going on for the last year or so in the forum and I was just fed up of these discussions popping up over and over again. Also, bro, don't put too much faith in the MRP system. My BiL works in the govt department which regulates a lot of these selling things and the amount of MRP manipulation that happens, even for normal stuff is mind-boggling. Also, the govt can't regulate MRP for anything apart from essential commodities and they are even trying to take out food items from that list according to the new farming laws. And manufacturers can set up any MRP they like and they increase and decrease even MRP in conjunction with distributors and retailers. Prime example for that is how older graphics cards like 1660 came out with higher MRP during the pandemic. So all it takes is manufacturers and distributors being in cahoots and for imported stuff where original manufacturer is not present, the MRP system is thrown right out the window, as you already pointed out yourself. Frankly speaking, this scalping business this time around with GPUs and now consoles is more of a manufacturer and distributor setup where they are the ones who are doing most of the price-rigging and flash sales and making lot of money under the table. Hats off to the guys on this forum who have shown great patience and not paid the scalper prices to RPTech, but many gamers have and that's why they are able to continue fleecing customers.
