have you ever thought about stockings? just because they havent set the launch OFFICIAL doesnt mean warehouses dont have them. actually price is set by EVGA, so Mindfactory cant change anything. Mindfactory was about 3weeks ahead and one of the 5 warehouses in EU that sold AMD Ryzens at their launch
dont lynch me for the leak, but there is actually a warehouse that also sells a delid tool who have the new Intels in stock and I know right
 
oh yes, I do know its RGB, but I really like the purple cobweb scheme 
 
edit: actually I dont know EVGAs politics, however, GPU and mainboards always shipped out on official launches. I also know people who carry business of whom share the same experiences.

I didn't lynch you, or anyone, I asked a legitimate question.

First: EVGA US, where the EVGA headquarters are located, always received the first shipment of all items, to include motherboards. Once they receive them, the split them up, ship some out and also sell some of their own stock. It takes 2 weeks on average for the board to go from the US to EU. EU customers have always complained that stock wasnt available same day in the EU that it was in the US. This is a known issue. History tends to repeat itself.

Second: Manufacturers SUGGESTED retail price is a suggestion. Any retailer can set their price up or down from there, so they are never bound by Eva's suggested retail price, or there wouldn't be discounts.

I don't care about delid tools, that was never the topic and CPU's from intel are not motherboards from EVGA. I am just passing along the information that has been available for years, and that was why I asked a question. At this point, we can wait and see what EVGA sets the prices at, since the x99 Micro was half the price you pre-ordered a x299 micro for. Maybe you will get your motherboard next week, maybe you will get it in a month. Hopefully you get it sooner than later, and EVGA went above and beyond this time.

Facts:
X99 micro2: https://eu.evga.com/produ...aspx?pn=131-HE-E095-KR price at €249 with vat. (€205 without vat)
X99 Micro 2 from Mindfactory: https://www.mindfactory.d...TX-Retail_1115401.html €277.50 which is €27.50 more than EVGA sells it for, so therefore, they aren't allowed to sell it for that according to what you know.


X299 micro from evga.com... not announced

X299 micro from Mindfactory: https://eu.evga.com/produ...aspx?pn=131-HE-E095-KR price at €535.... that is 2.15 times the cost of the last generation.

Fact:
EVGA has never once doubled the price of a motherboard from one generation to the next. Mindfactory went over double with their pricing, and I highly doubt they have stock.

Funny...Newegg has most model x299 boards listed for pre-sale and prices look normal.  I bet that Mindfactory is just gauging

Even more funny, Newegg is typically one of the very first e-tailers to receive EVGA stock for online sales. But, they don't have anything listed for EVGA on the x299 front.. strange that they haven't listed something that isn't available, for double the asking price of all of other competitors.

I have seen places list something as pre-order with outrageous price only to drop it once stock arrives. But either way i would never buy at those prices

All of the boards that have been announced are well in line with the actual motherboard MSRP's, so they will likely update the price once EVGA announces and actually releases their x299 line. Hopefully anyone that pre-ordered at the higher price will receive the real price once the price is actually announced. I personally wouldn't put my card information into any website that is listing double the price of an item just to have it listed.

As I said before: Mindfactory shipped all AMD Ryzens out at official launch, 3weeks before most other warehouse in EU got their stocks (it isnt the first case I preordered something) at still the lowest pricetag within the EU
trying to make Mindfactory sound like a scam is literally beyond me
 
edit: wasnt there a "leak" of an greece shop that listed a mysterious Intel Xeon that got announced a few weeks later? like the rumors of the 7740x that came up, uhm, there are alot of people that know in advantage but dont say anything
