For a supposed to be cheaper site, I have never seen stuff go for so expensive!

contest718Stuff goes for all sorts of prices here. And this is a pretty great price considering what all this has been going for. https://www.amazon.com/MSI-GAMING-GTX-1080-TI/dp/B06XVG7M23/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1519312315&sr=8-10&keywords=MSI+GTX+1080

contest718Actually, that's not the site's purpose at all. Nothing in their business model suggests this is a deal site. It is a site where the community has a hand in choosing product offerings and showing a supplier that demand exists. It is up to the supplier to decide if a bulk buy will receive a discount.

DalamarI have no doubt these guys saying this is a "good" price are folks working directly for or being given discounts by massdrop to promote highly profitable items like this...

felunkDo you have any evidence to support the claim that this item yields a high profit for Massdrop? Not anecdotal, not hearsay, but verifiable evidence.

kauboyNice try massdrop employee and/or shill...volume Manufacuters get stuff below retail all the time, amazon regularly sells 1080ti’s at retail, if your quick enough you can get them there, i got a $740 1080ti recently. The whole prinicple of your company is to buy things in mass(like amazon and newegg) but pass those savings on to the social community. But this is the current normal marked up price that can be had daily on Newegg and B&H video....so what are you offering here exacetly? Just because these sell out quick and are listed for 1500 by second source scalpers that this is a great deal?

felunkOh good Lord... I am not an employee, nor get anything from them, asshat. You have a basic misunderstanding of this site's function. You assume far too much based on the name alone. They don't claim to buy anything in mass. Most of the time, the drop specifically says that once it ends, then the orders will be submitted to the vendor. What Massdrop does is build a community of buyers, and then tries to shop those buyers to suppliers of a product. It is up to the supplier/vendor to give a deal or not. This is common knowledge that can be found by a simple internet search, yet you're too stupid to go find it, and are instead satisfied with sounding like a complete ass. Somebody with an official title has responded to this discussion. Go harass them if it makes your balls feel bigger. You'll still be wrong, but at least your audience will be correct.

kauboyAnger issues? Looks like I must of hit close to home to get you so riled up. You sure seem to be an expert in how massdrop operates, no?...sorry I exposed you, hopefully it doesn’t impact your discount/review. Looks like you guys got exposed for price gouging this time…exposures all around....lol!

felunkWhat a clueless moron. You did rile me up. The fact that this amount of stupid can exist within one person is infuriating. The person who set up this drop has stated clearly there was no price gouging, and that they are selling this for a small amount over their cost. Take your baseless accusations to him, since he *actually* works for MD. There's no magic to this site, and how it works. Anybody with a normal intellect can figure it out.
Now, prove your claim, or keep your foolish opinions to yourself.
To any MD mods, if there *is* such a thing as a discount for normal community members who have to deal with the idiots, such as the above candidate, I'd be open to that. Since the drooling knuckle-draggers already think it's a thing, I might as well profit from it. Hit me up! ;-)

kauboyLol...you think they would ever in a million years tell you their real costs? What exactly is a "small’ amount? I regularly resell 1080ti’s for 100-300 dollars more than I pay for them! And I’m just a normal guy who knows how to snipe bargains, imagine what a retail outlet can do who has direct lines of communication with the vendors! So you are either a complete idiot if you think these guys aren’t raking us over on these "deals" or more likely you are employed/rewarded to push these ripoffs as a regular customer. Not sure which is worse...

felunkI have far more business experience than you, I can assure you of that. If you want to know their margins, contact them directly. Hell, go ask that titled member. Maybe he'll tell you. Not that you'll believe him. By your own admission, you swindle people regularly, so you assume everyone else does too. Again, with that use of "deals", like you're supposed to get a sale price or something. That isn't in any promotional info this site offers. You're making it up and assuming it's right. It isn't. You still haven't provided any evidence of your accusation. Put up or shut up.

kauboyWow such a business man arguing in a forum over the the validity of an already exposed ripoff price/product..do you also talk like a 15 year old to all your numerous business associates? What do I need to prove to you that massdrop isn’t ripping us off? The same product selling for less on Newegg, done? The fact I can get this for less almost daily and i’m not buying in volume or have any claimed communication line with Gigabyte? I guess only a internal ledger will convince you, so that I cannot provide, but the previous pieces of evidence, IMO, clearly proves my point. Good luck Mr. businessman, if you are so easisly fooled you will need it out there doing all that ‘business’....lol

felunkYour opinion is useless. Anecdotal evidence is useless. As you stated, Newegg buys in bulk. You have no evidence to show how many MD bought to know if it is comparable, nor any internal information to know what price they got from Gigabyte. Without those things, you are making a baseless accusation. Thanks for at least admitting you have no case. As for how I speak, I match the audience. Stay in school, kid. ;-)

kauboyYou win Mr. businessman, go back a tell your MD employers you deflected being exposed in the forums you troll all day long. Hope you get that promotion to senior troll to help your business career since being a graduate of University of Phoenix has held you back for so long...lol

felunkI didn't win anything, kid. It isn't a competition. The world isn't as cynical as you are, and we aren't all trying to rip people off like you either. As far as I can tell, from looking at all kinds of other drops on here, MD isn't doing that either. You take one example that offends you, and cast aspersions against the entire site without proof. That's just not rational. You also misunderstand the purpose of the site. Just go look at the Wiki page for it. The background is there, and you can see the actual purpose of the site. Shock me, and learn something.

kauboyBig adult, got all this time to spare...maybe go outside, have a drink at a bar, socialize and meet a girl/boy, i would hope your life isn't so sad and pathetic that you always have to get the last word in defense of MD whom you like spending even more time reading wiki pages about...I really feel bad for you man if so. But of course no one could possibly have that sad of a life....thus i'm 100% convinced that you are an employee now!

felunkI read the Wiki to find out about the site when I first heard about it. If I'm going to spend my money, I'm going to know who's getting it. You just throw your hard-earned money at random companies? Feel however you wish about me. Changes nothing.
You didn't go and learn anything, did you?
In case it needed to be pointed out, that was a question. I expect a response. This isn't a competition, kid. There is no "last word" to get in. We're having a discussion. (hence the name of the tab we're in) If you're a normal human being, we'll eventually come to an accord, and happily go our separate ways with a mutual respect for the other, even if we disagree. From your constant accusations about my person, I'm not sure that's how this will go, but let's find out. Just so you can start to see me as an actual human being, and not a faceless avatar, the name's Tim, I've been happily married for 12 years, have two great kids, and don't drink. I've bought a total of 4 items from this site, and really like the model. The deals aren't always great. On that we can agree, but I've never seen actual gouging. The things they offer are interesting, and that's why I keep coming back. Now, can you be cordial, or not?
