PriceSquirrel exposes massive EU GPU retail price gaps

The severe price fragmentation across the EU single market creates a massive arbitrage opportunity for developers building local AI rigs. Scraping every six hours catches algorithmic "blinks" (short-lived retail price drops) that standard daily trackers miss entirely. High-VRAM cards like the RTX 5090 show the largest absolute price disparities, with up to €490 differences between regional EU stores. EU-wide consumer protections (two-year warranty, 14-day returns) make cross-border hardware purchases functionally identical to buying locally. Data shows inelastic demand for AI workloads is keeping high-end GPU pricing volatile while mid-range models stabilize.
