Gouged ? How so ?These Intel X99 early adopters are being gouged and I can't even get the memory I like (Crucial Ballistix Elite DDR4).
Gouged ? How so ?
It takes time to ramp up production, and thus lowering prices.
Early buyers always pay more, since they want it first.
Not until either Broadwell or Skylake C160 with DDR4 mainstream chipsets from Intel in 1H 2015 will you see any price reduction in DDR4.
some people forget that x58 was NOT cheap by any stretch. the first set of triple channel ddr3 was 1400 dollars.

so tell me again how people on x99 are getting gouged again.
