I'd discourage paying that sort of price-gouging amount. It probably won't dramatically improve your life.

I managed to get a 3080 awhile back for not that bad of a scalped price. I came from a 1080 and it was worth it. Not for $3k though.

What's wrong with the 1080ti, that's still pretty damn solid

I have an opportunity to get a 3070 for under $2000 AUD

should I just give up on a 3080?

i have 1440p 165hz monitors

or maybe i can buy from an ebay scalper, which are cheaper than actual physical store scalpers...

The 3090 was a pretty bad value even before the shortages sent prices through the roof

Unless you're a developer and need this for your workstation, it's a bad deal even at normal MSRP.
