He was saying all the pricing for computer stuff was going to go through the roof because of inventory and supply chain problems for manufacturers because of the Chinese COVID-19 factory shutdowns. I don't think pricing increases really materialized because after the initial surge in work from home demand, consumer spending on that stuff kinda dropped off big time so pricing has been pretty flat.
Supply is definitely going to be down for almost all electronics and computer parts for the rest of the year, will demand is harder to figure out. Guess it really depends on how bad the regular consumer gets hit, how much layoffs there are, and how much economic stimulus we get from the government. All of the electronics that goes on sale around Black Friday is built right around when the Chinese shutdown happened though.
