BB drop today, including FE

I was at Lowe's, so RIP, but apparently people were having success with the queue time addon

Received my 3080fe today. Feels a little surreal. After planning my entire build around that card, and then having to wait a year, it's weird as frick seeing it out of the corner of my eye

He finally told me earlier this week that he’d ship them out tomorrow. :fingerscrossed:

I know he finally got that shipment of FEs in that had been warehoused, so it's possible. Good luck

On a related note, I now have a 3070fe I'm willing to part with, if anyone is interested.

And no, Finch, not for MSRP

Because it's the conversation he and I had in the week leading up to my card getting shipped.

Dirty miner :P

I'll likely be looking for something like $750 net to me, but I haven't decided yet.

He almost never ships on the weekend, from what I've seen. I would be on the lookout early this week.

Then he’s failed on his commitment.

I would interpret that as "by end of day Friday" and that he was wrong. I'll be shocked if you get a notification over the weekend

I specifically asked “by Friday”? And he corrected me for Saturday.

No, you asked "by before Friday". Which I appreciate is semantics, but I read them differently. Not that any of this matters. You don't have your card yet

Just sold my 3070fe to a nice kid who drove two hours from fricking Mississippi. The gpu market really needs to get better...

so, here it is wednesday... still no update from anybody (Mike or the discord) and we're 4 days beyond his commitment. a week and a half really. this "big shipment" must've been a ruse. i think i'm gonna frick him with chargeback. unfulfilled goods don't have a window according to Chase Bank.

I'm going to check in with him on my order tomorrow (week 5 since ordering). Have you been texting his number on his website?

I'd do the chargeback too based on how long you have been waiting. Maybe wait until Friday EOB?

The server is in full blown fricking melt mode. I think the group of us that got our cards last week have put everyone else on tilt

Took me over nine weeks to get my 3080fe, but I got it.
