What's up with these prices? Here, a 750 W Seasonic Titanium PSU is selling for $265 which works out to $196 USD.

PSU prices have gone up a lot since last year, for no apparent reason.
 
I just bought mine like a year+ ago and now they decide to sleeve cables out of the box...:mad:

Yeah I was noticing this gold 1000 unit is only 20 usd cheaper than my prime titanium unit from 2021.

I'd argue one apparent reason: ATX 3.0 specs.
Is it reason enough? For the marketing and sales teams it may very well be.

Nah, I got a 750W Seasonic Focus GX last year, it's over twice what I paid for it now, so it has nothing to do with that.
 
They're big and heavy so maybe shipping costs?
Shipping costs have decreased significantly since 2022.

With a dose of exaggeration, now that Seasonic launches these FOCUS GX PSU's, ATX 3.0 standard becomes mainstream...

They're not sleeved, it's molded to have that look.

I have their 12VHPWR cable, and it's not a braided sleeve.
 
I bought mine in 2020 March, for the same price as this new 850W, and it was a SEASONIC Prime GX-850 850W
So yeah, prices went up, just because...
