I have been watching NewEgg's stock on the 8800GT SSC card-

On Monday it was listed at $309.00

Today $329.00!!

How high can they take it????


Ugh!
 
There will be cheaper places than the Egg to buy a GT...they always jack up the prices for things in high demand.
 
The egg always does this, their system is set-up so that price increases with demand.
 
Makes me glad that ordered the PNY as soon as it hit the egg. That is CRAP, same thing happened with the 2900 Pro.
 
You'd be able to get it cheaper directly from the evga site. They don't have the SSC in right now that I know of, but the others like the KO, Superclocked, and standard edition are in stock and are cheaper than newegg.
 
Free market.

Buy it cheaper elsewhere. . . or decide to buy it from Newegg. Either way, it's free people arranging the exchange of goods voluntarily.

I fail to see the problem here.
 
They run that place like Ebay. Whoever pays the most gets it. This is why I don't care what manufacturers promise us as far as price. Unless they start controlling their distributors then they might as well not mention the price.

QFT

Buying directly from Evga is cheaper than the Egg and the local Fry's and PcClub, by atleast $30. Damn might just grab a second card straight from evga and even future purchases.
 
Trust me, when it says backorder thats only gonna mean they wont have cards for 3-4 days at most. These cards are moving fast! :D

Buying from EVGA is great during releases simply because they dont inflate the MSRP ;)
 
What if I could line up 50 or so (not EVGA, but stock and OCed cards) and give you guys a code to buy?
 
just hang in there about two weeks. prices will get back to normal. eVGA reference model was $229 initially, PNY and Leadtek were $219.

edit.... or if Kyle could hook it up :D

Looks like they are raising their prices too. $299.99 isn't a very good price. If Nvidia says to sell for $259.00 then they shouldn't be allowed to sell for above that price. Yes, I'm a socialist. :)

As an example, no stores sell Xbox 360 above the price Microsoft sets so why should it be any different with video cards? This is nothing but price gouging and should not be allowed.
 
Amazon.com has the superclocked for $269.99 w/ free shipping. The price has been steady as a rock there.
 
I am so glad I waited on the frys pre order, 230 each for the regular evga thats gonna get overclocked anyway.:rolleyes:

Well then you must be blinded...

They are great shoes man. I wear them everyday! They are still in good condition. :cool: I wear them to golds gym every time.
 
Kyle, I think lining up 50 or so cards (at MSRP!) would make [H] legendary in the community.

IF this happens, how about lifetime subscribers get the first crack? ;)
 
Thats why they are called New Egg... Cause they Egg you on the New stuff....
 
The price gouging means the refreshed GTS and whatever it is AMD comes up with in December will look much better, if you don't want to pay these inflated prices...

Hell, it's less than a month now, just be patient, the retailers all know a lot of good stuff is coming out around Christmas and they will not be able to make these margins, so they are sticking it to us now.

My 1900xt will hold up for another month, plus it keeps me nice and toasty!
 
wise words indeed. in a month or two these cards will be 200 bucks. once supplies get larger and demand gets lower that is.
