NewEgg has looks like they have a bunch of the 2060-2070's in stock. But yeah, the prices are ridiculous but I can't imagine someone that had one would just sell it for normal prices right now.

I was planning on building a new system. When I started looking six months ago the 3070 RTX was something like 500-$600 while the Quadro 4000 RTX was ~900. The next time I looked the 3070 was more expensive than the quadro. Now you're lucky if you can find one period and if you do it's at least twice the price of what it was then.

In short unless there's some sort of national emergency I wouldn't even bother. Better to pick up ancient card and hobble thru until prices become realistic again.

Im not hurting for one, Im just actively hunting them.

I have not gone as far as to buy a bot to do the work for me( which is the one of the problems) But I am on the new egg shuffle each day and also signed up with over 50 websites for alerts when they do have stock.

watch out with newegg, the cards in stock are used and sold by 3rd parties. I always use the filter and select sold by newegg only.

I absolutely hate that they started doing this. Other than the fact that they have the one of best search filter for computer stuff on the net they've essentially turned into Amazon....which has an absolutely horrific search filter and quite frankly I have no idea how they are so popular...but I digress.

I essentially went from Computer Shopper Magazine to NewEgg. I rarely looked anywhere else until they started doing the "Anyone can sell things on NewEgg" approach.

I read an article yesterday about 3070 RTX cards selling for 2K+, it's not getting any better for a bit yet would be my guess.
