Speaking of getting past scalpers, I noticed they had that Sapphire Nitro+ 6800 priced at $879. I couldn't find an MSRP, but Guru3D had it listed at $629-$679 I think it was. +$200 Markup. That'll slow em' down!

Honestly I don't scalpers are hitting my MC much anymore. The line go bigger near store opening but I didn't get scalper vibes from the people I was lined up with at the front of the line. They all seem legit techy guys. Was the same earlier this month when I got my 3080. I doubt people farther down the line were scalpers since I would expect them to come way earlier. That is my impression at my Parkville MC at least.
This is sooo Canadian. had to call it out.
haha
i did indeed enjoy skating, and have my 5900x in hand - can finally stop staring at this thread after 2 and a half months
Well that is a first. My MC didn't sell out all the 5600x and 5800x yesterday's they got. Still a lot of stock of both for this morning. So ether there was a HUGE drop yesterday those two sky are not selling that fast anymore. Still very little to no 5900x.

You guys should pick these up and sell on the forums for people who don’t have a MC next to them.

really looks like the 6 and 8 core parts are becoming available. Just wish the 12 cores parts were easy to get
I believe Microcenter only allows one purchase every 30 days or something, so that isn't going to work too well. Mine's an hour out but I will likely be heading there Saturday, though the Cambridge one has usually been picked clean very regularly.
Depends on the MC. Mine doesn't enforce it.

The Dallas MC is showing 25+ for the 5800x currently, guess they got a big shipment in.
I've been able to get a 5800x for awhile, but couldn't pull the trigger on spending 480 for it. The unicorn 5900x has been nigh impossible to even see in stock online. Even with discord running i'm lucky if I even see the thing. After all this I've decided on waiting for ddr5 platforms. My poor tired 3900x will have to suffice until then.

I plan on chucking a 5600x on my Gigabyte B450 itx board- just updated the bios for it last night and all seems good. The 5600x and 5900x seem to be the sweet spots for price/performance in the stack right now. As the GPU shortage drags on I am less inclined to do much with my stuff for now.
25+ 5600x and 25+ 5800x in MC here so maybe this weekend I'll get that 5600x.

I've been thinking the same since the 5900x availability continues to be a joke months in.I've been able to get a 5800x for awhile, but couldn't pull the trigger on spending 480 for it.

The problem is
1) DDR5 platforms are best case a year away
2) Do i really want to be on gen1 of an architecturally new AMD chipset?

I thought of that as well. Ultimately, while the 3900x isn't the greatest gaming cpu, it's still decent. *besides until my 3080 gets here I am totally gpu limited* lol
Bots would be then buying them up if they shipped.
I meant if you actually called the store.
is this the site shopblt.com? is this site legit? I've never heard of them before
Earliest ETA is 1/29/2021 on this page.
Never heard of them either. I don't get that. I've been on the internet since it went "public", they've been around since before that?
Just got an email from them saying they expect to receive a shipment of AMD CPUs on 1/29. Not etched in stone but again I had figured I wouldn't get one until spring anyway.

When BLT is out of stock a/o no eta on a product, you can't order/pre-order. With the latest AMD CPUs and both AMD & Nvidia GPUs, if they are OOS and no eta on a shipment, they would have a notice on the main page saying you can't order them and you won't find them listed on their site.
As of this morning that notice is NOT up so one could still order one.

It was priced at $299 as advertised but the price tag on the box was at $449 like the post above. Yeah not dropping $400+ on one.
yep, marketing. ick
You should probably pick up a lottery ticket. Maybe DM a bunch of instagram models asking 'sup.
