Unpopular opinion (it's been a couple weeks since I rocked the boat)...  Selling your used card for insane prices is being part of the problem.  If you take advantage of the shortage to sell your very used 1080ti for what you paid for it 4 years ago (or even more), you aren't much better than a scalper, you are taking advantage and profiting off the current situation. 
 
I understand that's what is going to happen, and people can do what they want, but once you accept more than you paid for a 4-5 year old card your "moral high ground days" are expired.  No more complaining about shuffles or bundles or queues or greed or bots or tariffs, because you stomped your feet and cried "unfair" when the situation hurt you, yet still found it OK to exploit it when it helped you.
 
If you want to retain your integrity, find a friend who needs a better card and hook them up for a fair price, even better a stranger.  You will feel good about it, they will feel good about it, and the money "lost" was never really lost, it was only there because of a messed up situation that this entire community has bemoaned for going on 9 months now.
 
When I went from my 3080 FTW3 to the K|ngP|n, I sold the card to a friend of a friend who I never met.  Not for what I could get on eBay, not for tariff pricing, not even for MSRP...  I used the card for over a month, benched it, and had it in and out of the machine a couple times.  While I am meticulous and the card performed/looked brand new, but I sold it to the guy for $50 less than original MSRP.  It felt right and he was insanely happy.  I tell this story not to say "look at how great I am" but instead to demonstrate you do not have to give in to the system and be another butthole trying to squeeze money out of the next guy.
 
Hopefully this doesn't fall upon deaf ears, hopefully some people agree, hopefully we see that "fair" and "unfair" aren't based on how something affects us and only us, but the greater good.

theres an old saying a fool and his money are soon parted.i understand helping out freinds and family.otherwise get fair market
value.giving up money for moral supremacy is a fools game soon lost.scalping and selling your old card is apples and oranges.

They are elite exclusively, you literally just joined evga, so you will be waiting till next generation for a Kingpin, since they are already booked for notifies, unless you spam your way to 100 posts and get into KPE HC queue when they relaunch it in a few months

I don't personally know the person, but I'll mention that they only just joined the forums. They could have had a registered product at some point and already be elite and in the queue.

You're absolutely right, drewski. This IS an unpopular opinion, lol. 
 
First of all, props for helping out a friend of a friend. Honestly, I'm kind of in your camp when it comes to selling. I am still waiting for my "dream GPU" to be available for purchase some day on this seemingly endless queue. That said, I did get a 3060 here on the queue, and I've lucked out with a couple of reasonable cards at Microcenter, but none of them have been the cards I really, truly want. I actually traded two 3070s plus cash for an EVGA 3090. I purchased the hybrid kit for it and hooked it all up in a build, but ultimately it's just not the card I have my heart set on! It was the XC3 with only two power inputs, and I really want one with 3 power inputs. I know that sounds silly, but these cards cost so damn much money that I want it to be what I want it to be for those kinds of dollars, and I don't think that's unreasonable!! 
 
I turned around and sold the whole build with a nice tempered glass lian li case, good DDR4, RGB, and the hybrid kit installed for the price that 3090s are going for by themselves on ebay. I also sold my giant 43" Asus 4k 120hz gaming monitor. The grand total for everything was very reasonable, and I made just under 10% for the build. 10% is what I typically try to make for any build I do for individuals other than close friends and immediate family (which I sometimes lose money on, haha!) 
 
I made three more systems with the other GPUs and sold them locally also. Each system costs less than buying just the GPU from a scalper, and I tried to keep really close to what similar specs would cost from a prebuilt. Didn't really make much (if anything) on them. Heck, one of the towers I traded for a gaming laptop that was a few years old! 
 
So while you (drew) and I are not in it for the money, and I applaud that mentality and try to follow it somewhat myself, I'd like to make two points:
1. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't tempted to sell on ebay, just because like everyone else I can always use money, too! Life, kids, pets, bills, etc. are all expensive!!
2. Just because I try to follow this mentality myself, and I am happy that I provided systems at reasonable prices to four gamers (two of which are brand new to PC gaming!!), this does not mean I apply this mentality to others. Like folks here have mentioned, it is a free market, and I do not begrudge someone reselling a used card at a profit in the market right now. 
 
At what point did you decide to throw the statement caveat emptor out the window? That always applies to buyers buying from private parties where there is no big business backing the product with some kind of price controls, return policy, or quality guarantee. 
 
The real problem is that when a friend of mine was lined up at microcenter the other day in a line with nearly 200 people wanting to buy GPUs, only a handful were gamers. Even fewer were miners. 80%+ were openly admitting to wanting to just flip the cards for a profit. There is one particular individual who has achieved infamy at this store by somehow hiring locals to buy cards for him to pass the ID check limit (MC limits GPU purchases to 1 per person per 30 days by computerized ID check). He has been purchasing the GPUs in obscene numbers (think 100+) and immediately selling them to 3rd party resellers on Amazon. He marks them up by several hundred dollars to the Amazon 3rd party seller. The Amazon 3rd party adds several hundred dollars more. This person has been doing this for months, along with all the other small time scalpers lined up 24 hrs + in advance of a MC drop. 
 
I personally feel like there is a HUGE difference between someone selling a used card for a tidy sum and someone buying up all the supply he/she can in order to create a monopoly where scalpers control the vast majority of the stock of high demand items and can charge whatever the fetch they want.

So I want to whitelist the email addresses that notify you and invite you. I know how to do that, but what I do not know are the email addresses. Is the email address in the OP the only one that has been used?

Thank you.

The 3060 already has an earlier version of LHR (bypassed with their own dev driver), but will get an updated LHR core and should get a new model SKU.  The others (3060Ti, 3070, and 3080) are all getting LHR cores and should get new SKUs.  Queues on those are supposedly being migrated, so no gain for newcomers.  The source info indicates that 3090 will remain unchanged... hoorah for miners ;)  SOURCE


The new 3080Ti and 3070Ti will be LHR cores out of the gate, so a new queue and New Hope.  

This clears things, thanks. I hope i don't miss the starting hours of these new Ti's :)

anyone else unable to access their notifies? When I click the link it takes me back to the login screen, even though I am already logged in.

These are all good points. Yes, there is a big difference between someone who lurks at MC and pays multiple people to wait in line for them and someone who sells a used card for a profit. I wouldn't do either, but I'm also not going to be the moral cop and knock people for choosing to scalp. Maybe they need the money. Personally, I would feel dirty if I sold my 980SC for what I paid for it 6 years ago. I don't like to take advantage of people. Granted, I am not in a situation where I am desperate for money or I might feel differently being in survival mode, so it's easy for me to kick that can to someone else. I won't scalp concert tickets either. I have always had really good luck with getting them, and I don't want to mess with it. I recently pulled floor tickets for Phish on Halloween in Vegas. A friend of mine asked me to help out and I was the only one who got anything. I won't be attending. I have young kids and Halloween is the #2 most important holiday of the year after Xmas, so there is no way I can skip town. We get hundreds of trick-or-treaters at our house, and this year it's on a Sunday so it's going to be even more crazy.
 
On topic though, last week's 3898 drop turned out to be one of the best yet. Even the straggler drop knocked another 10 seconds off which is a lot for that queue. It might not have been a great week overall, but it was a great week for the 3898. I'm about 90 seconds away now. I was thinking August or September, but July is now a possibility.
 

I am just wake up
 
Coming here, i have found we can ask autonotify of some 2000 series card
 
But they are TBD
 
It's better to click 3000 series
 
see you later

 1. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't tempted to sell on ebay, just because like everyone else I can always use money, too! Life, kids, pets, bills, etc. are all expensive!!

Be careful selling on Ebay.  If you get a dishonest buyer, you can sell them an RTX 3070, they complain that it's not as described, Ebay hits you for the full price including shipping, and then after about 4 weeks you get back a GT710.

Exactly why I won’t sell high dollar items on that site. That, and the fees.

Nvidia is preparing to flood the market with LHR graphic cards
 
probably EVGA did not receive old Chips to make cards last week

So mining looks to have cooled off and even though I waited for many months on this queue I did not get a single card that had the better mining ability.
 
My question still stands my queue list has

almost all are dated prior to the LHR announcement.
 
 I would like to drop off the ones above that are now LHR Clarification from EVGA would help.
 So that I can drop them off the que.
No sense of me going ahead of a person that does not mind that the card is LHR.

Any cracking this lhr thing?
