My bud really hasn't spent much but ordered a prebuilt with a 3060ti at the beginning of all this crap and won a shuffle 4 weeks ago for a 6700, asked me if I wanted him to get it for me... declined.
I've purchased probably about $10k in the past 20 years from them and that's nothing compared to some.
I won a shuffle two weeks ago for a 6700.... declined it. So i'm like 1 for 30/40.
A friend won the 6700xt bundle today, but got one of the later notifications. Pretty sure that means that the AMD cards are being rejected on a daily basis. They are charging essentially 2x MSRP (at least compared to the reference card). Microcenter has basically the same pricing (minus the bundles) and the AMD cards just sit there for days.

Who knows what the chances of winning really are when it comes to the shuffle. I have heard of people winning multiple items at once even! I'll keep trying everyday. Good luck to everyone still trying to upgrade or even get a first card!

Newegg shuffle sounds... fun. Having a lottery for a chance to buy something you want + some extra stuff that they need to offload
I was reading somewhere it's actually the manufacturers pushing the bundles on Newegg.

I have queued since it last came out for the 30 series, I stopped trying a few weeks ago because it's too difficult to even try and get a hold of a card, and then again you also have to purchase a combo like a power supply or a motherboard with it to waste even more money.

Yesterday, I finally won a newegg shuffle after months of trying. However, they wanted $1,200 for a 6700 xt and b550 asrock motherboard. Yeah, no thanks.

I was all for the NewEgg shuffle in the beginning. The prices seemed to be somewhat reasonable, but they are just ridiculous now.

It's likely that those who won also won a previous shuffle, and ended up buying the item will win future shuffles (despite it being random). I've seen people enter 50+ shuffles and not get a single win... meanwhile, there are people who would win 2 or 3 times a month. My guess is that once you surpass a certain spending limit on a item, your odds of winning increases somehow. I'm going to test that soon.

I don't think 🤔 anyone wins
Facts, I've lost 50+ shuffles. I don't even sign up anymore. It's just depressing.

Facts, they throw random things Into the shuffles. Like why in the world would I need an extra monitor just to buy a graphics card, or why do I need an extra mobile or psu, like it's just dumb.

I've tried 3 times but haven't won anything. Doesn't hurt to try. Some people are getting it and they are posting. Unless people have proof that only winners who spend lots of money win, it's all random.

Most of the EVGA cards that have been up on the shuffle have an unbundled option or PSU bundle.

I've entered many shuffles with no luck. I've not entered for bundles other than occasionally power supply bundles that would be an upgrade for my NAS box. I also refuse to enter for overpriced cards. My Newegg account is 15+ years old and has seen thousands of dollars of traffic through it, including last summer leading up to the big CPU/GPU launches in the fall.

I have never heard of that, You are only eligible to win one selection per shuffle, hence why it's not always the best idea to select everything, as if you win something you don't want it removes you from contention for something you do.

Not sure what shuffles you've been entering... It's always some $700 mobo that is from the same manufacturer as the card. In other words the manufacturers are saying if you want cards you need to take product x as well.

Me too. It's been disappointing, but I think there is a way for bots to flood the entry system by creating multiple emails for entries.

Unfortunately, I don't have access to Newegg. What's so special about the shuffle? Are the prices reasonable compared to other stores? Or is the shuffle all about actually getting an opportunity to buy a card?

I would assume Canada too since isn't Newegg based in Canada?
Shuffle gives you a chance to buy video cards that they get in stock.

I don't know the odds, but I probably don't want to know. I am trying to get a PS5 for my nephew but it isn't going so well.
