Swung by my local BB (Gainesville, FL) at about 8am. Guys in line told me tickets were handed out at 7:30. Said there were around 100 people in line and 53 tickets given out.

they don't have them yet, but they have the voucher. Or they are full of shit, probably a mix of both.How do they get them???
Nice! Last time I did that was for the Xbox 360 and it got down into the freaking 20s overnight in Orlando. Living in Florida I did not have appropriate clothes for that temperature.Oh my god I am never doing this again. Was frigging raining and windy all night and this morning.
I am wet and worn out from standing around for 9 hours.

Already a comment graveyard. Surprised it hasn't been locked yet.https://www.reddit.com/r/hardwaresw..._h_nvidia_geforce_3080ti_w_paypal_local_cash/
If anyone feels like hurling negative sentiments at Best Buy campers.......
Wow, asking for more than 3090 going for.https://www.reddit.com/r/hardwaresw..._h_nvidia_geforce_3080ti_w_paypal_local_cash/

That was my immediate reaction.Wow, asking for more than 3090 going for.
Obscene. It's now 9:50 am PDT and eBay has well over 100 listed.Aaaand they're already up on eBay
Because some people have money and would rather get some enjoyment out of their hobby than to sit around bitching and complaining for the foreseeable future. Things are really messed up right now so you have to jump on any opportunity you can. I would much rather have bought a 3080 and have been on the EVGA notification since many months ago and would have loved to had just the founders edition 3080 but neither of those have worked out. And also miners will pay just about anything for a video card so you can actually throw it on eBay and make a huge chunk of money.Why are you people buying this POS card and telling Nvidia that a 75% price increase for an 8% performance gain is acceptable? WHY?
Is anyone going to tell him that those people are turning around and selling them for more then 2x the cost on ebay,?Why are you people buying this POS card and telling Nvidia that a 75% price increase for an 8% performance gain is acceptable? WHY?

What do you mean by 2X MSRP? The 3080 ti MSRP isI have the money, I am running a Titan X Pascal. Just because you have the money does not mean you have to spend it. You are telling Nvidia (and AMD, Intel, Asus, MSI, Newegg, etc) that you will stand in line for hours or pay 2X MSRP for ANYTHING. I hope none of you complain when these prices become normal forever.
Oh a lecture from somebody who bought a Titan, that's cute. And what in the hell are you talking about when it comes to paying two times MSRP? Do you even know what thread you're in? This is straight up MSRP for the card and whether you like that price or not it is what it is. And how many times does it have to be explained to you that getting this card at MSRP is better than getting ripped off trying to buy a slower card at an even higher scalper price? Maybe just get through your head that some people want a video card and want it now and based on the current conditions this is not all that unreasonable.I have the money, I am running a Titan X Pascal.

MSRP for the founders edition is $1200.What do you mean by 2X MSRP? The 3080 ti MSRP is $1400.
If you don't get it at MSRP will you pay extra for it?What do you mean by 2X MSRP? The 3080 ti MSRP is $1400.
Brain fog. Hey I was up at 5am PST.MSRP for the founders edition is $1200.
Why makes you think I would? I was up at 5am PST to get into the queue to pay at MSRP. Honestly, at this point, MSRP is just a made up number, because they have to come up with a number anyway.If you don't get it at MSRP will you pay extra for it?
Well the MSRP is unreasonable, that is the point. If you noticed I skipped the Turing generation because the price to performance ratio was getting ridiculous. Thanks to all the people that skipped that generation Nvidia came out with the 3080 at MSRP $699. What will this buying frenzy tell them?Oh a lecture from somebody who bought a Titan, that's cute.

I don't know what you will do, that is why I asked. I know that a lot of people will.Why makes you think I would? I was up at 5am PST to get into the queue to pay at MSRP. Honestly, at this point, MSRP is just a made up number, because they have to come up with a number anyway.
They'll push until the market won't support the $ tiers, then we will see what they do.Well the MSRP is unreasonable, that is the point.

I'm just waiting for that sweet, sweet mining crash to scoop up a 3080 or 3080 Ti for half off. It's coming. I'm thinking near the end of this year, maybe a nice Xmas present for myself.Well, I get the desire for a new card, I am a gamer too, we all are. I just refuse to pay for more than I think the product deserves, not to save money but to vote with my wallet. If supply catches up to demand late this year I will buy a card, if not I will wait until the next generation. Good luck with what ever decision you make, seriously.
yeah that was hard pass for me down here in virginia beach lolOh my god I am never doing this again. Was frigging raining and windy all night and this morning.
