Nvidia 5xxx Graphics Cards: Why the RTX 5090 is the Reseller King

Introduction: The New Blackwell Powerhouses

Nvidia’s RTX 5000 series (5070, 5080, 5090) launched in early 2025 with next-gen AI capabilities, ray tracing upgrades, and top-tier gaming benchmarks. The flagship RTX 5090, armed with GDDR7 memory and DLSS 4, quickly became one of the year’s most in-demand and profitable resell flips.

Why the Hype?

Severely limited stock meant even hardcore UK gamers couldn’t grab one at launch.

Automated checkout and stock-monitoring bots overwhelmed UK retailer Scan.co.uk, leaving most buyers empty-handed within seconds.

The card’s raw performance and benchmark results made it essential for creators, gamers, and resellers alike.

UK Drop Recap: Only at Scan.co.uk

For this wave, we focused exclusively on Founders Edition RTX 5090s—a clean, high-margin flip.
In the UK, Scan.co.uk was the only authorised retailer, and inventory sold out almost instantly.
Buyers lucky enough to check out resold their cards for £1,000–£2,000 in profit on eBay UK within hours.

Why They're Selling for So Much

Scan.co.uk was the sole supplier—zero restocks, no backup retailers.

FOMO pricing drove eBay UK buyers to pay £3,000–£5,500 for FE models.

Resellers capitalised on launch-week panic buying and fake sell-out rumours.
