Prices on ebay are continuing to fall though, which is good news.  $1,400 for a 3080 FE down from $1,500 late last week.  Many GPUs are going unsold and the scalpers are starting to undercut each other.  It's been forever but the end of this nightmare is getting closer.

in other news, if you are in the market for a 3953, bradsour has a deal up on ebay
 
unfortunately at scalper prices

good to see the element35 team using their evga bucks to profit off the situation

prices are stagnant for a while, I see that even for  red cards as well.  Getting a ton of alerts for those high priced ones, seems not many are being sold at the given price.

I'll take any victory I can. Cards that aren't sold are scalpers that aren't buying more.

Edit: I just watched a 3080Ti FTW3 go for "just" $1675. With the original sales tax, shipping, and ebay's fees. That's just breaking even and potentially losing a little.

at that price, he likely clears 500 profit
 
70 to ebay
 
130 to evga for the taxes and shipping
 
and to think that we have been enabling them by using their codes

Ebay is not quite as lucrative as you'd think.
 
The seller fees are 12.55% plus they add sales tax before calculating their fee.
 
He makes $220 tops.
 
Not condoning what he's doing, but he's not making what everyone seems to think, and that assumes he gets his asking which I would be very surprised to see.

 
you understand that he only paid taxes and shipping for the card because he runs element35gaming.com and gets us to use his code and then scalps his cards to us?
 
 
my rough math
 
selling for 1830
-244 ebay fees - 12.55% of 1944.38
-30 shipping to ebay customer
-75 taxes from evga purchase
-30 shipping from evga
-0 cost of card due to using evga bucks
= 1451
 
selling for 700
- 93.34 ebay fees - 12.55% of 743.75
- assuming ebay customer pays for shipping
- 75 taxes from evga purchase
- 30 shipping from evga
-0 cost of card due to using evga bucks
= 501.66
 
he clears a lot more than 220.

No, I didn't realize that he's been receiving enough evga bucks to get the card for free.
 
I can't imagine he'll get the referral from anyone ever again so it cost him a lot more than he realizes.

Yup, don't underestimate how many EVGA Bucks these people can make. 3% might not seem like much but for every person who uses their code to buy a card they can get anywhere from 10 - 60 Bucks. And with the prices of cards just going up and people buying whatever they can get their hands on, the Bucks really rack up quick. I will say that even I have managed to get a good chunk of EVGA bucks from relatively few uses of my Associate code. I wouldn't be surprised if there are people who have accumulated up to tens of thousands of EVGA Bucks during this whole GPU debacle. Now, if only it were easy to actually use them... 😛.
 
I'm OK with people getting lots of uses of their Associate code if they are helping the community, e.g. Enewt. But I can't condone this kind of use, that's just gross.

If you care to notice that I am actually offering the card to people who use a queue tracking site at msrp. But apparently of all the offers coming in nobody is caring to read their message. You have to price it high enough so that people don't just buy it straight out. But feel free to believe what you want it's available for msrp + shipping to anyone using the queue tracking site as long as they have a notify in the system prior to making their offer.

They don't care. They'd rather just have someone to hate. Nevermind us actually giving away items. You know, the giveaways that forced the Mods from this very forum to prevent us from actually mentioning our website. But whatever. The haters will keep on hating. This place is so toxic, and it's mostly the tenured forum members too. SMH
 
We were planning to do an official forum giveaway too, but on second thought.. why should we give back to people who hate us?

Honestly, I'm a little grossed out right now. I'm removing them from my original spreadsheet. Not going to be affiliated with someone who does that.

 
There's nothing original left of your spreadsheet, Sir. We made that spreadsheet what it is. You got a free ride, and likely plenty of EVGA bucks yourself. Nothing like a pot calling the kettle black. 
 
But it's all good. Just go on hating. We'll continue what we started and continue to improve upon it. It was never about the money and still isn't.

I guess I'm just old but I couldn't find where the card would be sold at msrp plus shipping for people in the queue anywhere in the ebay add. Maybe I just don't know where to look.

 
I freaking hate EBay, the place is seething with scammers, both sellers and buyers.

what you started? laughable
 
tshalev was the original and that shouldn't be forgotten

He won't be forgotten. In his ever exceeding power grab he locked us out of the Spreadsheets that he doesn't own the forms of. Forever breaking the spreadsheets from ever being updated again. Well done!
He may as well go back to the "free for all" that it was before we got there. 

Interesting...

Seems people are so salty that they aren't paying attention. I guess that's a symptom of high sodium levels? I just bought that 3080 Ti XC3 from Bradsour for MSRP and now I can finish my new rig.
