Most of France’s "Competing" PC Hardware Retailers Are the Same Company
Turns out a lot of “competition” is the same company under different names, and it shows up in the price data too.

I’m french, there is a very simple way to buy a gpu in France, you buy it from a German online shop 👌

20 years ago, if you wanted a decent guitar in France, you bought it from Thomann.de
and still do!

Cool. I have to admit I haven’t bought anything there for more than a decade, there was a non-zero chance they went to shit.

In the EU, buying online from Germany (or occasionally Poland) is generally the best value option.

Damn. I always buy German I thought you guys will have a better alternative

Any recommendations?

Idealo and Geizhals cover most of the sales spectrum. But there are also smaller online shops around

yes, this is exactly why i built pricesquirrel too, to see the price gaps between countries since i’m finnish and its often cheaper to buy from germany…
