lol, forget that. Maybe if there was a guarantee.the longer this goes on the more I'm tempted to go to my local MicroCenter in NYC at like 3:00 AM and camp out for 6-7 hours...
If I was a single guy, and maybe had buddies willing to do that with me... yeah I probably would assuming weather is good, I don't know what the weather is like in NYC this time of year though.the longer this goes on the more I'm tempted to go to my local MicroCenter in NYC at like 3:00 AM and camp out for 6-7 hours...

You shouldn't really have too nowadays. Both times I got my 5950x and 3080 I showed up a hour before opening and got them. Then again you are in NY. Might be a lot worse there.the longer this goes on the more I'm tempted to go to my local MicroCenter in NYC at like 3:00 AM and camp out for 6-7 hours...

Wow that's the first time I've ever been able to actually add one to my cart and get to check out but I changed my mind as I don't want to pay $650 plus tax and shipping for a freaking 3070 with 8 gigs of vram. I can hold out a few more weeks or a few more months if I have to and only pay 50 bucks more for the founders edition 3080.This looks like a EVGA 3070 XC3 Ultra in stock https://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=6943529&CatId=8754
Yeah, $150 over MSRP because slightly faster clocks, tariffs, or fuck all who knows is kind of a hard pill to swallow even if it is the norm, I mean especially for another $50 (theoretically) you can get a 3080 FE.

This is a great deal and no doubt scalpers will lap it up. For comparison, central computers has the same card for 729 plus tax in bay area. You need to forget original msrps on these cards, they will never exist again.Yeah, $150 over MSRP because slightly faster clocks, tariffs, or fuck all who knows is kind of a hard pill to swallow even if it is the norm, I mean especially for another $50 (theoretically) you can get a 3080 FE.

"Limit 5 per customer"
Seriously? Going to let someone buy 5 of these fuckers? Are we starting to see a break in the scalper bots? I mean hell I clicked add to cart too for shits and giggles, almost 20 minutes after the posted link! Only thing I can think of is that they have a horrible internal stock algorithm on the site, and a metric fuck ton of "order cancelled, so sorry" emails will get sent out.
Well I was going to be stupid and just YOLO it but when I tried to check out it said the item was out of stock now and removed from cart. So I guess that's fine with me as I really need a 3080 anyway not a 3070.This is a great deal and no doubt scalpers will lap it up.

I honestly just randomly pulled up the site and saw it in stock. Sad it wasn’t a 3060 ti or base 3070 but hopefully someone that was looking got onejobert
What source did you find that TigerDirect deal from? I don't think that's a site that's typically monitored - which is probably why they lasted in stock for so long. I debated too long myself - when I first clicked the link they were in stock.
Yeah it is what it is. It may have OOS when I checked out like with Jobert too for all I know. And yeah the price isn't too bad only $20 more than what EVGA was charging for the same card (Central Computers seems to charge $100 more than what the maker charges for cards), but the reality is I'm not going to spend $650 for a video card at all, PERIOD, so the only reason to buy them would be to scalp them or sell them locally at cost, the first I really don't want to do the second I really don't want to.This is a great deal and no doubt scalpers will lap it up.

And it's gone, I tried to checkout but removed due to OOS, this was too good to be true. sfsuphysics sad to say this but you should have grabbed 5 if you could lol...
$2100 for 10700k + 3080. Too steep if you ask meThey have a bunch of prebuilts in stock at tigerdirect.

Sounds... Evil!My EVGA queue number just came up. Ordered a 3070 ULTRA for $666 shipped. Going to be returning my 2070S to Amazon for $640. Not a bad upgrade for $26.
Not surprised to see that TigerDirect's website is still garbage after an entire decade.This looks like a EVGA 3070 XC3 Ultra in stock https://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=6943529&CatId=8754
wow, you can add out of stock items to cart and get them when you get them....Not surprised to see that TigerDirect's website is still garbage after an entire decade.
Isn't this just abusing the return policy? Unless you left it unopened of course.My EVGA queue number just came up. Ordered a 3070 ULTRA for $666 shipped. Going to be returning my 2070S to Amazon for $640. Not a bad upgrade for $26.
They are in September... I got in line in December.
It seems that way with the 3060 series. I signed up for one of the cheaper models as I know a couple coworkers want one, but that list has barely moved compared to the more expensive ones.Been in the queue for the 3080 xc3 black gaming since 10/7/20, not optimistic. They are probably prioritizing the higher-priced cards.
If they had a queue going I would be in line. I'm out of the running for this gen of cards, sticking with my B stock 2080.Maybe I should get in line now for a 4080.
Who's got the time for that shit? I got things to do. Standing out in the cold isn't one of them.the longer this goes on the more I'm tempted to go to my local MicroCenter in NYC at like 3:00 AM and camp out for 6-7 hours...

Looks like Manli is a Zotac rebrand for Asia...both owned by PC Partner.https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali469/p/N82E16883360054?Description=rtx 3080&cm_re=rtx_3080-_-83-360-054-_-Product&quicklink=true

So scalpers buying Asian cards, to sell on the US market through NewEgg... it's a global phenomena!Looks like Manli is a Zotac rebrand for Asia...both owned by PC Partner.
If there was a line, there wouldn't be a problem. If people could have preordered this prior to release there wouldn't be a problem. People who preorders should get stock before stores get their allotment of cards, because unlike stores the preorders would be paying full price.Maybe I should get in line now for a 4080.
In practice the problem would be exactly the same; see EVGA queues and people complaining about entering the queue in September and still not having a card.If there was a line, there wouldn't be a problem. If people could have preordered this prior to release there wouldn't be a problem. People who preorders should get stock before stores get their allotment of cards, because unlike stores the preorders would be paying full price.
It's actually not that bad. Another member here recommended it - but I have a family and it's a lot tougher for me to get away for multiple hours. So what I did was I started showing up an hour prior to opening. It ends up being about a 90 minute time investment. The 2nd time I went, scored a card (3080 SUPRIM).Who's got the time for that shit? I got things to do. Standing out in the cold isn't one of them.
