the crazy thing is...people are still buying these at these crazy prices otherwise a scalper wouldn't be going to these lengths

Buddy of mine just bought one a couple days ago, as he was tired of waiting for EVGA to get their shipments in. I hope he finds it worth it.
Frankly though, Nvidia needs to ramp up production; so as to prevent this from happening (IE: prevent people from running out of patience with companies like EVGA, MSI, etc)

I'm fairly certain the AMD 6900xt announcement killed that market.

Yeah, I'd never pay that for a 3090 on eBay, $1400-$1,799 was more than plenty

No,
 
They will have to sell at break even prices with taxes that they purchased it at around $1600 or so because once December 8 hits, the 6900 XT will launch and at that point the scalpers lose because the supply of 3090 level performance will increase and honestly alot of people will go AMD just to be able to have a GPU at 3090 performance.

They will just turn the bots on AMD products as well and you'll see more of the same. 

Probably,
 
But it all depends on how much supply AMD has. AMD used TSMC instead of Samsung so if the supply is so huge that they can overcome scalpers then the demand will be met even with scalpers and normal customers included. We will see how it goes on December 8.

They are supposed to have enough to last for a couple hours on launch. Whatever thats worth. I imagine if you want one its possible to battle the site crashes for a couple hours and possibly get one. the 6900XT in an interesting option and I wouldnt mind having one to test out with my Zen processor, but if its completely aggravating I wont bother. I do not underestimate the greed of these people. It's easy money and they would much rather sit at home and scalp merchandise and resell it than be productive. 

I'm still buying EVGA but it is nice to know that AMD is joining the supply. I always said to myself that the chances of actually buying a 3090 won't improve until AMD joins the market. So we will see a much greater supply of EVGA 3090's because less people will go with NVidia and instead go with AMD.  It's the first time in 10 years that I can't really fault AMD for not hitting the performance marks of the top tier NVidia card. The demand will be a big difference from Launch Day 1 to 2nd week of December 2020. All we have to do is sign up for the Auto-Notify and I am sure that the wait time for the Auto Notify will be less than the wait time for a day 1 launch auto-notify. Some users reported waiting 4 weeks to get the link to purchase for a Day 1 Launch Auto notify, so it might be 2 Weeks for an Auto Notify in December. Just my guess.
