  "transcript": "Hello guys, hoping you're doing well.\n\nI bring this discussion since I have noticed on internet, be USA or EU, RTX 6000 PROs at 16000USD or more are still getting bought. \n\nEven here on Chile, the other day they were in stock at 20000-21000USD post 19% tax and they lasted a few minutes.\n\nMy question is why? For sure that won't recoup costs right?\n\nWho are buying these, only enterprises?\n\nWhat do you guys think?\n\n\n\n--- Top Comments ---\n\n\n[195 upvotes] I think they are being laundered into China.\n\n[86 upvotes] Pretty obvious very few individuals got the cash to spend that much on GPUs, just as with luxury cars. It's pretty much all enterprise buyers.\n\n[40 upvotes] “Who are buying these at $20k”\n\nPeople who don’t want to buy them at $25k",
