I expect to pay a premium for it but I guess I wasnt super clear with what I meant. My expectation when searching for a GPU was paying 900 for a 3070 ti TBH but seems like that won't happen.
Newegg has a literal lottery you can enter to get a 3070 ti at true retail (599.99).
Other then that they have scalper prices yes. But i was pointing out that they do sell cards at true retail. Not that I was expecting to get one for 599.99.
Buddy got a RTX 3080 at true retail from Best Buy last week after waiting 2 months. There's a program Best Buy offers to get on a waiting list for computer parts which includes GPU's so I may just do that. Wanted to try and avoid spending 200 bucks to enter the program though.
