Wait, does GameStop sell Nvidia graphics cards now?

GameStop has sold PC gaming hardware for a while, including full game laptops, monitors, headsets, mice and speakers, but in the post-stonks era it apparently wants a piece of Best Buy’s desktop components business. and Newegg too. Most prominently, the company started selling Nvidia RTX 3000 series video cards – where by “sale”, I mean engaging in the same kind of almost imperceptible listings, flashing and ending up like any other GPU vendor.

As PC Gamer reports, GameStop made its entire weekly circular announcement revolve around PC games this week, including several GPUs, motherboards, a power supply and a case:

GameStop weekly circular from March 21st to 27th.

Back in reality, however, GameStop sold out these GPUs a few days ago, approximately at the time when first went on sale. Judging by the responses to GameStop’s tweets, this was the typical reaction:

And as far as I can tell, the entire selection of GameStop’s PC components consists of two motherboards now.

The selection of the GameStop PC hardware that is “available now”.

It is difficult to blame GameStop for selling components, however, hilarious Javascript or not – the street prices of Nvidia and AMD GPUs are totally out of control, selling for 2x-3x their value. I just don’t understand why GameStop would bother to try during the shortage. Maybe you could refurbish old graphics cards in your refurbishing factory? Even the oldest cards are in high demand now.
