Waiting in line just isn't an option over here.
We once had multiple DIY PC stores in my city, but only one survived (Arlt) and Ryzen 3900x stock never arrived there. The rest either died or moved on to Internet distribution.
The DIY market is now being dominated by Alternate.de, Mindfactory,de, Amazon.de, Caseking.de. The only big vendor still having stores is ARLT(.de) and K&M, but K&M went bankrupt a while ago and no idea what bought them. Our Best Buy equivalent (Media Markt) doesn't even sell DIY products, but for SSDs, modems, mice etc. You can buy prebuilds there though.
So yeah, that's the german DIY situation for you. No idea how big the PC market is here, but retail barely exists in the first place.
And this isn't a small, underpopulated region either. At least from a german pov.
