Not at all which is why I'm surprised that these are all sold out everywhere also.  I got one a few weeks after launch and never really tried looking for another one.  I can see why Nvidia has a shortage but I'm not sure why AMD also has a shortage.

Yes it seems without a bot it's impossible to get a card at retail.  A lot of people are crying foul with the Newegg shuffle but that's the only way I've been able to get cards at a decent price these days and I look forward to entering the shuffle when it's available. 

I'm pretty sure that they will sell for more than what you pay for them on Newegg if sold by Newegg not some 3rd party.  I think Newegg has some restocking fee though if you return things that aren't broken.

Edit:  I'm not buying them to flip them.  LOL

From their site https://www.newegg.com/promotions/nepro/20-2902/index.html

Restocking Fees
Returns are subject to restocking fees of 15%-30% of the purchase price. Newegg may assess the restocking fee against the customer's account or deduct the fee from the refund amount on all returns, subject to the Return Policy and any product-specific policy. Newegg reserves the right to adjust the value of any item returned for refund to reflect its current market price, in which case the restocking fee will be applied after this adjustment.

Newegg does not charge for restocking fees for returns of defective products, or if you received the wrong product, products damaged during shipment, or if the product did not match what was shown on the Site, provided the item is returned within its return policy period, and in accordance with the Return Policy.

In the event a product is returned that is not defective or an incorrect product or where the product does match what was shown on the Site, the product will either be returned to the customer or the return shipping cost initially covered by Newegg will instead be deducted from the refund amount along with any necessary restocking fee that may apply.

I did indeed!  At this rate it's still at a good ROI in my eyes.

I don't have any plans for the memory at this point.

I got picked for the bundle that you wanted Phil.  The MSI 3070 with the OLOy memory.

I was picked for the Newegg shuffle on Monday for one of the 3060s.  Even though it was from Newegg I think I paid way too much for it.  It was the MSI Gaming X Trio model for $540.  I just wanted to play with it as well and a little part of me hopes that somebody finds a way around their eth nerf for these cards.  Let me know if you manage to squeeze more speed out of it.  $3.50 a day still isn't bad.  It's just the model I got selected for is too much.  I feel everybody is gouging on the prices now or that 25% tax in the US is funding the stimulus package.  Still 160 days to ROI is pretty good.

In Europe they use a decimal for a comma and a comma for a decimal.

Nice thanks for the info.  I was not selected for the Newegg shuffle either.  I had high hopes of getting one of these cards but I guess it wasn't meant to be.  121 days to break even is great in my book.

I would consider getting one to play with but I'm not sure I want to take the risk.

That's a neat little board.  I like it.

I got picked for the 5900x processor.  I'm on the fence about it.

I'm pretty sure by the time you're ready to sell any of these cards the cost value will be $0.  Some 5700 XT I bought back in November are just about there.  My first 3000 series card wasn't purchased until Jan of this year so those still have some time to break even.  I'm definitely slowing down with them though after seeing that post with those 100 asics up and running on eth.

The accountant in you really shines.  I really should do this for my cards as well and I only have about 15 cards mixed 5700 amd/3000 nvidia series

It's a beautiful time we're mining in Phil.  Best of luck with all that equipment.  I haven't been able to find anything new at a decent price in a while but of course I'm mostly relying on the Newegg Shuffle these days as I can't keep up with the bots.

The asics concern me.  Between LinZhi and Innosilicon I find it hard to believe that Bitmain doesn't have something in the works or already made.  I mean they had the E3 so there's no reason to believe that they don't have an updated version of that already or at least in the works.  But if the chip makers are all strapped that they can't keep up demand for video cards, PS5s, Xboxes, maybe the asic makers should be in the same boat trying to get manufacturing to make their miners.

I have 1 reference 6800 and it is mining at 58 but at least I paid the retail price for it before the hikes.  I think it came to $625 or so in the end.  I was upset back when I got it but now I realize it was a steal.

Same here.  Today's shuffle is a little disappointing.  All overpriced 6800 cards.

I wonder if Newegg is going to sell the 3060 cards via the shuffle as well or will it be free for all.

With the difficulty going up so much current purchases are going to take longer to ROI but now is the the time I worry how long this market will hold up.  At this point it's like winning a game trying to get a 3000 series card at retail pricing and when that happens it's hard to pass up though so I'll probably buy more cards if I get selected in the shuffle.

Once again I was denied
