I can only hope they get burned. I chatted with the guy on amazon who was selling his for $1,200 and asked him why he thought price gouging the card was okay.

He basically told me that it's a "sellers market" and he can do what he wants.

I can't disagree, because it's legal. But I gave him flack for thinking anyone would pay for a card that is better than a titan x but with half the MSRP.

Price gouging the card defeats the purpose of the low cost high output of the card.



It's the old law of supply and demand at work here.  And he is right, it's definitely a "sellers market".    Glad you got on him for that. 


 
I have seen a 1080 FTW go for $1,200 on Ebay. People will buy it at that price. I cant fault the seller. People that are impatient and have money to burn. More power to em. Supply and demand. Peasants that will not pay over retail. You have a choice. Wait for stock or pay more. No one is holding a gun to any one.

In stock in newegg right now!!!!! I just got one!!!!!



Thank you for posting that NewEgg had it!  I still can't believe that I got through resetting my password and all the updating of my Newegg account before it sold out.
 
Card charged, status changed to "packaging".  Pretty exited.

You are most welcome.

I had to make sure I got one, and then I had to make sure I could tell everyone else that they could too.

Lol my chrome settings auto filled everything for me as I panicked getting the order in.

I tried sending to customer support but received error messages when posting. So, it's going here instead.
 
How can you allow all those people on Amazon who are listing your cards at WELL over your retail prices? How can you allow them to purchase all those cards when there's low stock to begin with. How can you allow them to make all of us who have purchased and love your products have to wait and wait to purchase one of your cards at suggested retail?
 
I've tried and tried to get on on NewEgg who seems to be the ONLY reseller with some damn honor who are selling them at retail. However it's near impossible to manage to put one of your 1080's into the cart and purchase it. I've been trying since release and I'm on auto-notify. Even then I put a 1080 FTW in my cart and when I went to pay with Paypal it told my my cart was empty.  My god.
 
I will NOT pay $900 for a FTW. I just WILL NOT.
 
If I were you I'd restrict which vendors can purchase your stock based on agreeing to sell at retail pricing. At this point I'd dare say NewEgg should get the lions share of stock. Those Ebay and Amazon sellers are on my list. I've made a list of them and I will never buy anything from them.
 
Please review how you handle your limited stock in the future. I'm planning on waiting to purchase until there's more stock but I'm afraid all these "scalpers" are going to keep eating up the stock before I can even complete my order on NewEgg.
 
Thanks for listening and sorry but I am very frustrated.

Bob, Amazon is a free market place where anyone can sell goods on. Treat it like an American farmers/flea market. EVGA has no affiliation with most (if not all) of the sellers on that site. They are all mostly consumers who were lucky enough to grab cards early and are now reselling them at inflated prices in order to capitalize on the high demand/low supply. Please do some research before accusing EVGA of something they cannot control.

That's how capitalism works Bob.

Sorry it's frustrating, but that's just how it works.

Bob,
 
The FTW version is by far the hardest card to get right now from EVGA. Every since it went on sales. Its gone in seconds when it does come up at places. You don't stand a chance against these people. Trust me. They are a dedicated bunch that literally F5 24/7. They also setup 1 click purchases. So, when it does come up. All they have to do is add to cart and submit. Or just click submit only like Amazon 1 click shopping. If you are willing to drop down to a Superclocked or FE version from EVGA. Those are a bit easier to get. Especially the FE. I have also seen places allowing a 2 card purchase. Not cool when supply and demand is so high. Newegg allows only 1 card per purchase. I mentioned earlier rumors said stock will not improve until August. It looks to be true and heading that way.
