It is never a good day when you need to report on the robbery of graphics cards. It's also the first we ever heard about someone stealing graphics cards from a manufacturer. Unfortunately, 40 cargo boxes full of RTX 3090's were stolen from MSI's factory located in China. The 40 cargo boxes are valued to be around $336,500 worth of stolen graphics card. MSI is working with authorities to recover the graphics card and have put a reward of 100,000 Yuan ($15,000) for anyone with any information on the stolen graphics cards.

It may be the first case of stolen graphics cards, but it isn't totally unexpected. COVID-19 has created a difficult living situation for many people and looking at the current valuations of RTX 3090s, they are a quick way to make money. Most 3090s are out of stock on retailers and are very hard to come across due to a high level of demand. Many 3090s are being sold above the MSRP and the median price on the resale is estimated to be $2,250. This shows the lucrative market for the current generation RTX cards. They are some of the most valuable cards on the market and can be flipped for a large profit.
