Sucks if your waiting on a 5830. The only way you'll get your hands on one is if you spend the whole july 4th sitting on newegg haha.

The problem is newegg doesn't restock at 12:01 pst. They update their stock randomly. I purchased 2 5830's yesterday at 7 pm est and it was only in stock for 10 mins. A week or two ago I got two and they were in stock from 1 to 2 pm est. My point being you'll basically have to spend the whole July 4th holiday spent near a computer to guarantee you purchase one lol.

Not to mention being an "estimated" time of arrival, they could show up a day early, or a day later.

Should build a screen scraper that e-mails you when they are in. Then sell subscriptions

Well at least I know their auto-notify feature is worthless. I have auto-notifies on both 5830 models they list and I never received Emails for either one. And Newegg.com is whitelisted.

I saw that too. Newegg must have looked at ebay lol. They actually have an algorithm that automatically adjusts prices on items based on demand, availability, and probably even prices on other sites.

I tried out the script and it detected that they were in stock, but curl gave an error that --ssl-reqd is not an option and did not send an email. I actually saw that they were in stock before I checked the forum and got a couple.

Try the script I linked to above. I was able to get one the other day, and a friend got 2. It seems they come in stock in small amounts occasionally.
