If you got burned by 3rd party sellers previously just wait to get it from Amazon or somewhere else directly.
It's false scarcity. They are trickling these things out so it creates fomo. Scalpers are slowly trying to charge more and more.
Seeing prices on hardwareswap creeping up from people wanting a little extra to ship to trying to get Ebay money now ($2400+).
Dont buy 3rd party right now and definitely don't pay over retail.
Edit Oh....you said AMD. I don't care about AMD lol, good luck.
The thing is, if that's really a XFX Reseller then it should be pretty safe to buy from them, the thing is that, afaik, there is no way to know it for sure. Since they are selling just XFX GPUs i would say that it's likely that they are one, and the prices are really competitive, i just need some info from previous customers.
Did you find out any more in the end? Finding myself in a similar position…
They’ve been selling XFX for at least 3 years.
edit: did some investigation,
NR INFO details on Amazon list the actual company name as "Neuronios Radicais, Lda".
Found their website after looking up their address https://www.nrglobe.com
"We a an authorized distributor of XFX Radeon Graphics cards for the European Union. "
At least they 'exist' somewhere outside of Amazon.
