DEAD in < 30 minutes: ATI 5850, $248 and $250 AB, two models

[v8envy]

Title says it all. Hit bing.com, shopping, "ATI 5850". Sort by price (wish you could save that as a default), and you'll get a link to the VisionTek for 248 and gigabyte for $250 at antarespro.com

I even looked up resellerratings for you. Lifetime 7.66/10. Recent 5.66. Not great, but for this price may be worth a gamble.

You're welcome! Here's hoping this heralds the end of the video card drought of 2009.

deal dead?

That was quick. Looks like they increased the price already. Dead.

Bummer, isn't $250 the price that it should before the "shortage"/price gouging?

At the same note, it'd be nice to see ram at their early 2009 prices. I was just looking on newegg, I bought a set of DDR3 ram for $60 in July, now it sells for $120.

Bleh, what a crappy time to have an upgrade itch.

$260

And it's not gouging. Low supply + high demand = higher prices... every time.

But, if you have legit evidence there was price fixing/collusion, please share that with us.

Oh geez.

I just knew someone had to take me literally. No I have no evidence, and I was mostly poking fun. I'm well versed on the basics of economics, I don't need the lesson.

We're supposed to be clairvoyant as to the sudtle nuance of human expression from simple written text now.
