Alright I give up. Last hope is Amazon magically posts them at some weird time and they message me prior to being sold out. Really curious to see if anyone got one in the US. GL peoples.
I'll just add this one last bit and then be done with what I have to say on this subject. Concerning Amazon, their stock of any of the cards they were selling and NowInStock.net. I kept an eye on NowInStock.net's records of when Amazon's listings went from Out of Stock to In Stock and back. Amazon's listings for all their cards to sell have been Out of Stock all morning since before 6:00:00am Pacific. No change to their inventory of any card being In Stock at all and the last I checked was before 8:45am Pacific today. I know because I refreshed the Amazon page for my card at exactly 6:00:00am Pacific on the dot and it still said "Currently Unavailable" at 6:00:01am Pacific. I get bots are really good at selling out stock of something high demand very quickly but no group of bots on Earth can achieve the feat in exactly 1 second. Further, refreshed every 5-30 seconds for 45 minutes. Nothing. Further, I had an email alert with Amazon on the card I wanted. I never got the email. What this adds up to in my detective's mind is that there are 2 distinct possibilities: Amazon has no stock to sell right now (because their shipment is possibly late). Amazon has so little stock to sell right now they'd rather wait to get more before they go live. That's my last thought on the subject and until next time I am out!
Wow, my Microcenter has 10+ of multiple models in stock.
I just checked MC again and over half or two thirds of the cards are gone. They had like 60 cards before opening now down to like 10 maybe.
I'll pay you to go buy me one.
I just checked they are almost out now, down to 3 and shrinking. An hour ago it would have been an option.
Truthfully, I didn't think it would be like this or I would have setup a postman or soapui script to make the purchase for me as well before hand. Not that I am in a hurry to buy one. I was more interested in the 3090. Oh well, time to have my bot ready for when that one goes live then.
NVIDIA store got botted https://twitter.com/BounceAlerts?s=09
All those orders should be cancelled. Fuck those people.

I can't believe bots managed to snag all 26 video cards they had available.
There was stock. It was all taken by bots. Just look a the retweets here - https://twitter.com/bouncealerts
I think being 9 pages deep on a dead forum is more amazing
You would think Nvidia would use AI to determine if purchase is being made by a bot and then market the hell out of that.
I saw a photo of a guy with like an assload of emails from nVidia saying their order was being processed. All to the same email address. How in the hell does that even happen? Like there wasn’t a limit per email address?Strange. I tried to buy 2 2080 Tis on launch day from Nvdia (for SLI) and they quickly cancelled the second order.
And most places, like Newegg, only allow you to order 1 unit. So the bots must have been doing something sneaky to get that many orders so fast.
The only way for it to stop, the only proverbial "give" is that people have to stop caring. And since that won't happen, you will always have this problem. Even if it's only people with deep pockets at the top whom have access to this stuff, as long as the market is big enough and stuff keeps getting sold at higher prices, then it self perpetuates. That is until people stop caring and the market drops out.I have no knowledge of how to combat this but something has to give.

What did they pay with? 1000 stolen credit cards? I little cannot spend $1k workout being flagged, much less on multiple transactions.It’s very easy nowadays to create multiple email aliases that route to the same mailbox.
The botters must be shipping all their cards to the same address though. Should be easy enough to flag if people cared.
You could probably setup an account on privacy.com, tie your bank or credit card to that account, then generate numerous unique card numbers from privacy.com and use those with the individual bot accounts. How they would get around being identified by shipping to a similar address, I dunno unless they ship to P.O. boxes.What did they pay with? 1000 stolen credit cards?
