The low demand for NVIDIA RTX 4080 graphics cards has created additional problems for resellers. The bottom line is that despite the high price, the flagship RTX 4090 model was in great demand, and speculators hoped for a repeat of the situation with the 4080 model, so they bought cards in the first days of sales.

However, the demand for this version was too low, so now they have to sell adapters on marketplaces, and at a price close to the recommended price. However, they still buy very badly.
At the same time, some US sites have banned the return of the RTX 4080, preventing resellers from returning the cards to the retailer and getting a refund. They may have to lower prices even more in the future.
Note that in terms of performance, the RTX 4080 outperforms the RTX 3080 by about 50% and the price is 70% higher at the start of sales. Therefore, many specialized sources considered “forty eighty” vastly overestimated. ♂️ Superheroes are people too – the gritty everyday lives of comic book characters played by Midjourney.
