I can't ever get a card in the cart at BB, I have no luck to win the New Egg Shuffle.  eVGA is my only hope!  10 minutes away in the queue, this is my best hope!  

Yeah, EVGA has been by far the best.  I've been watching streams while working from home and have been present and ready for a few of the last BB drops.  They are essentially impossible.  The coding is so poorly done so that even if you make it to "Add to Cart" they've done zero effort to make sure it's still in stock or even in your area anymore (which they require) so "releasing new stock" is just garbage.  Newegg and BB have lost me as a customer if I can avoid it.  EVGA FTW for great customer service and at least a fair process to get cards.  If only I had actually signed up for the cards I really wanted earlier... LOL.

I still give NE and BBY props for at least doing SOMETHING. I did luck out one time on release day on my 5900 CPU purchase. I paid MSRP, and the little add to cart button trick worked for me, so I am grateful for it.

But that was last year, and since then, I have tried countless times to get a 3080. Today I tried to even get an FE 3090. No luck. An FE 3090 is cheaper than a scalper 3080 right now.

Hopefully this EVGA queue comes through for a 3080 someday!! I am grateful for EVGA, big time.

Tues-day is Queues-day, the rest is just leftovers. (probably not a completely accurate statement, but Tuesday seems to be the best day for the queue drops).

I finally got a best buy drop after many months of trying! I managed to get the 3070 XC3 ULTRA (3755) in my cart in the last drop, but failed checking out. I received an alert this morning for the drop and opened up the best buy app. Luckily, the card was still in my cart from last time and managed to check out after 5 minutes of fumbling with password resets and verifications.
 
I was hoping for a 3080, but didn't even bother checking if anything else was in stock. I'm still on the hunt for a 3060/3060ti for my nephew.

Just removed myself from the 3070 queue, was too late to any other SKU's to even bother signing up.

I had used it in the past... I've gotten things into the cart but lost them on the stupid email verification step.
 
The real question is why nothing showed available when I was logged into other browsers, but did show up incognito?

I got in on the BB drop, I had just logged in to check things out.  I went to my save list and bam! Things started showing up to add to cart.  I clicked on like 5 of the items waiting for the second add to cart button to come up. Nothing ever turned yellow, just sat there add to cart greyed out.  Then I checked another browser, and nothing was available, then I opened an incognito window where I am not logged in and everything was available?!?!  ****, did I get shadow banned from BB when I clicked the add to cart on those items?  I mean I caught them right as they turned to available...
 
F'ing sucks. i was there at the right time and I didn't get sh!t.  ARGGGGHHHH!
 

the list is not the way to get bb drop

The nearest BB is almost an hour away for me. I think I'll just stick to the queue, unless I really get a bee in my bonnet *shrugs*

So it happened, got the rtx 3090 reference from bestbuy at msrp. I will be giving up my 11 slots in line. Thank you for the company while we all waited, hopefully this all moves you forward a smidge. I wanted the ftw3 3090 but at this point I will let that boat sail away since I got something else.

I wouldn't cancel any queues until that 3090 was in my hand.  My 2 cents.

In hand, in system, running stable for more than a week. Personally I'm not giving up my spots, unlikely as they may be, until I have the 3090fe under a fully working water block....

Smart. No harm in leaving them there. Can just let the email fly past once it gets to you. Ya never know what might happen.

Have a great weekend all!

See you all next week.

Got a link for that?

European Notify Queue Summary (blame BovineGamer)

So it sounds like my t-shirt idea is a notion ahead of its time. Fair enough; I'll go back to the drawing board. Certainly there is a way to properly memorialize our watch beyond just the stories we will tell our grandchildren. ("Listen here Janiceradia...I want to tell you about the time that I sat in front of my computer hitting the F5 key over and over again, threw my computer keyboard out the window before retrieving it (Duct Tape fixes everything), and then waited with a whole community of similarly situated souls for months and months before a company sent me an email permitting me to spend my life savings on a computer component...all so I could play games with better graphics...what is it, dear?  What's a keyboard?  It was a tool that allowed people to communicate with computers...no, we didn't have implanted Google Guardians™ back then....")  I'll keep brainstorming.... 
 
I beg of you, get away from the computer this weekend; put down the ipad and Android. Wear a mask and get some Vitamin D into your system...the sun won't last forever. Be safe; stay upright. See you again next week.
