Same. Will try again.Update: they just emailed me 20 minutes ago to say I was not selected. So both winners and losers get notified.
It's fairly new. It's for the high demand, low volume stuff like video cards and PS5s.I've been buying from Newegg for over 20 years. I've never even heard of this "shuffle". WTF.
Thanks. Doing a search on Newegg of "shuffle" gives nothing but ipod hits.It's fairly new. It's for the high demand, low volume stuff like video cards and PS5s.
Yes. There are bots you can buy to do it. They been around long before GPUs.I am a bit confused about how these cards are selling out so fast even for folks like me who were sitting at their computer at the exact launch time. Because by last evening there were already 6700s selling on ebay for over $1000. Are people writing some sort of computer code in order to buy cards the split second a website has them available? If so, is it possible for a mortal human like me (not a computer engineer) to reproduce someone else's code and do the same thing? Just to buy one 6700 xt for myself to be used for gaming, no mining or other shenigans.
Is it possible? In theory, sure.I am a bit confused about how these cards are selling out so fast even for folks like me who were sitting at their computer at the exact launch time.

there was one available on reddit the other day. it may have gotten taken down by now but it was written buy a guy for single use just as in what you are describing.Okay, so then I need a bot in order to get a new videocard. I hope this is not a rules violation but I will therefore ask: where would one obtain a "bot" for my legitimate purpose? Do I have to buy it? Could I copy code from a website perhaps? I assume the platform matters. I am just a regular guy running Windows 10 64-bit home.
Congratulations. I tried this but failed. It never let me add to cart on AMD website, as the website kept going down. Almost succeeded on Bestbuy.com though.Ordering within the first 10 seconds of launch netted me a 6700xt reference card at MSRP. I'd have preferred the 6800xt I've had on order since the start of Jan to show up (I don't expect it to show up), but this will do to replace my tiring GTX1080.

Have you had any luck with the fairgame bot? I had it running for days and didn't get anything. I guess setting my limits at $1200 for a 6900XT, $1000 for 3xxx cards, and $700 for 5700xt's could be too low though.If I were seeking a 3000 or 6000 series card to build a computer with now I would use fairgame. I would also enter the shuffle every chance I got.
Beyond the use of automation and the shuffle, if you have the time and it's practical, you can set brobot and snail monitor up for alerts and try to get something that way. Eventually it should be possible and it should not take several months.
Using the above methods I've been able to get (2) 6900XT (3) 6800XT and (1) 5700XT. Pricing for these ranged from near MSRP up to over 1250$ for the 6900XT. Some of these cards were sold to friends at cost for gaming, the 6900XT is in use for gaming and mining in my computer. A couple are in a dedicated mining computer right now.
The era of Fairgame still being effective kinda ended early-February, there's just too great a collective effort gunning for GPU's now, between the proliferation of free and paid bots, plus hundreds of thousands of humans tuned in to various alert channels. So a brute force freeware bot isn't going to hit 99.99% of amazon drops anymore except by some insane lucky timing. You also should only be running 1 ASIN per Fairgame instance, not to or three, or your chance of success decreases exponentially.Have you had any luck with the fairgame bot?

Agreed. The notifications would work if humans were doing the buying once notified. But bots are used for notifications, and other bots are used for the purchasing. They are too fast. It's awful.There is no winning strategy now other than dumb luck. I literally saw DOZENS of notifications come up tonight and clicked on each one less than 5 seconds after I saw it. IMMEDIATELY out of stock. This was on brobot, one of the fastest notification discords.
All of newegg's stuff or nearly all is going to bots now. There is no way humans can run it out of stock in less than 5 seconds.
Cheaper than eBay prices...Buy a Tesla Model S.
Harvest the GPU Die.
Secure PCB and GDDR6 and Make your own 6700XT xD
I'm 0 for 15. Keep trying. Sigh.0 for 7 now on the shuffle. Might as well keep trying because who knows, I may finally win after a few hundred more tries.
6800xt I’d say bite, but for a 6700…yeah good pass
I didn't believe it either, until I managed to catch one of the drops last month (recreationally, I'm not in the market to buy) and saw 6900XT for $999 become available for a couple minutes. AMD ref cards are out there at MSRP for the determined.best bet for AMD cards right now is AMD.com's drops which they do once a week/3 times per month. Real people get cards, so its not to be ignored.
About 3 weeks ago, I was alternating between two computers at work, trying to get something to add to cart on AMD.com. And a guy who sits across from me got an RX6800 no problem. Heheh.I didn't believe it either, until I managed to catch one of the drops last month (recreationally, I'm not in the market to buy) and saw 6900XT for $999 become available for a couple minutes.

I was in a hurry, and just check mark every box I could fill out.So, you joined the shuffle after seeing the price before entering and decided to join anyways just to not buy?

Honestly, this combo crap that New Egg unloads in their “shuffle” is a bunch of crap. Not to mention selling cards like the 6700 XT for waaaay more than they should be going for.
