Meh, I think it’s a matter of perspective. We all pay more for things based on time and place. In a vacuum, we all know paying like $10+ for a domestic beer is absurd, but we might do it at a game or concert. Paying $750 for a year old 3070fe is absurd in a vacuum. But that kid had spent a year trying to upgrade his 1060 at a price point he could afford. Used 3070fe were going for $1,200 on Ebay when I listed. He reached out to me at 7pm. When we agreed, he said he was getting in his truck right now. Even after I told him I was happy to hold it for him until the next day, he replied that as long as I was ok with it, he would rather get it in his hands tonight. He had been trying to buy a gpu that long. He was at my house at 9pm.

And he’s having a blast with it. I helped him learn how to undervolt and set his own fan curve, and still talk to him on occasion when he has questions. I guarantee he doesn’t regret his purchase one bit.

Because we don’t live in a vacuum. We live in a motherfricking GPU hellscape that we will likely still be talking about twenty years from now

With Ghostbusters coming out this week, I can’t help but come with some one liners from the original movie:

Peter Venkman - “Yes, I can feel it. We’re very very close.”

I hope he isn’t bullshitting, but he probably is.

I mean, he is and he isn't. He likely has no idea when your card is coming in, but I do genuinely believe that he wants to get it to you. So there's that

I still have my 3080 on order with him. No rush on my end since I got my 3090 FE. He tells me the same thing every week - it's coming!

I shall not chase the dragon :hmph:

I already have a 3080fe for a net cost of $300, so I’m not looking to further tempt fate during the GPU apocalypse

And I honestly believe you’ll get it. Now, whether that’s this week or next year, I have no fricking idea

Yeah, I’m still waiting. I called Chase Bank a few days before the window “closed” and they confirmed the window is only for returned/damaged goods. Unfulfilled items have no window and can be disputed anytime. Call your bank and verify.

Yeah, he told me through the 30th. He posted a YouTube video of a bunch of cards that were supposed to go out today. Still no shipping info, yet.
