Fact - Newegg ebay was selling 1070's @ $319 and 1080's @ $419 2 months ago
That was my benchmark to try and get a great deal at the time
Interesting theory, but I NEVER saw them listed THAT low.
Lowest 1070 on SALE they ever had was $359 or some such for the Zotac Mini, and I don't remember any 1080 under $459 even on sale.
(edit) never mind, eBay - I don't DO eBay since they started pretty much forcing you to use RipoffPal for payments.
Again, NOT apples to apples comparison, I was talking about the actual Newegg.com site (though I probably should have clarified that since I was aware Newegg sells on eBay).
You're missing the point dude, the point is if you imagine you're buying a 1080 or 1070 for prices above what was stated, you're cutting directly into your hedge. Gamers know what they're worth.
Obviously a single vendor is not what is in question here. Multiple had them, including frys. Why you think Newegg didn't IDK. Maybe you're right but just price matches alone you could have gotten it that low all over, best buy included.
I have the receipt for the 450 i paid...So you're wrong. IDK what you're debating about. I checked after we talked about it.
Max 350 used for a 1080, well under that for a 1070, only reason you could get more is because miners want it.
