It's just buying them when they're still in stock is still an issue.
Stock is indeed very much the issue. I caved and picked up an sealed BNIB EVGA 1080 Ti FTW3 Hybrid from a randome guy last night for 1040 USD shipped. Once I remove shipping, it drops down to about 980.. which is only 80 above EVGA's current MSRP (900... pre-mining boom that particular card was 850) that's not been in stock for the past weeks. I'll pay 80 over MSRP. I refuse to pay 500+ over MSRP that every proper shop is selling em at.
According to what AnandTech has been told, the stocks are super-tight right now because there's just not enough VRAM to make the cards, which really, really sucks
