Here are the images showing these are indeed "in hand".



And factory sealed "new" as well.

pricematch shopblt?

Considering they are out of stock (and will be for quite some time) there, and I know who their distributor is (we have the same one as well)...nope.

I could understand a little more than their prices, but $100 more plus having to pay for shipping ill pass.

good luck with the sale

Not a problem and certainly your choice of course.

Just price matching NewEgg which is a bit more common for folks, who does also have them in stock (at the moment). 

ShopBLT will not have these in stock since they "blind ship" from the previously mentioned distributor.  This distributor has been waiting for these since early December 2013...and still is waiting with numerous back orders noted (as sort of shown on ShopBLT's site).  A "blind ship" is where the retailer (ShopBLT in this case) has the distributor just ship directly to the consumer with a label and logo from the retailer.  So until ShopBLT has these "on hand" (as in there is inventory at ShopBLT), you will continue to see this unchanged.  I do not suspect this will be anytime soon, and I suspect they will increase their prices since the distributor prices have increased as well due to lack of supply and huge demand.

FWIW.

Looks like NewEgg (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202045) is now out of stock of these as well now as of today.  Ironic since they were in stock yesterday (22 January) though perhaps briefly.

You want him to price match an imaginary old price?? C'mon son.

Newegg is about as competitive as you can get, since they always have stock of something, usually in large quantities.

Update: 

Tentatively only x2 left with inquiries about these last two!  Awaiting payment to clear for the other x10 units, but will advise either way.

ALL GPUs FROM THIS BATCH HAVE BEEN SOLD!

I will be posting some more later about future orders as well as bulk GPU orders.  For those who are interested in such (Sapphires and Gigabyte brands), feel free to PM my directly with your "to order list".  Thanks in advance.
