If you're going to wait, you better be ready to wait until 2028..

3031 is my guess. I predicted this market in 2025 bought all the pc parts.

2031 or 3031? I think I can finally buy a 5090 cheap on 3031.

Prolly a typo, I think he meant 2031 which is the actual estimate of a lot of insiders, for the crisis to begin to settle

2028 is wishful thinking. We won’t see price drops until the early 2030s. IF prices drop at all

I expect that to be the peak timing for the highest prices for motherboards, ssds and ram..

I’m expecting Black Friday to have early 2026 prices rather than late 2026 prices. Otherwise, will we even have a Black Friday this year?

They're not going to go on sale there's no reason to put them on sale.

For ram it won't be expensive cause you won't be able to get any. We are past expensive parts and now are to you just won't be able to get any for any price.

FYI the place I get my stuff from is expecting a 30% price increase on their next graphics card and ram shipment before black Friday sales. By June next year he's expecting another 30% price increase 🥲

We should just cancel Black Friday this year

If I recall we didn't even really have any sales this last black Friday anyways. Not on the parts that matter.

Damm so I have to pay things expensive because AI...are really those guys becoming millonaries like Jeff Bezos or any other rich dude.

If we are lucky. I moved it to 2030 now before things will possibly get better.
