Why is that a crazy price? That's MSRP for a 1060. They're just hard to find in stock at that price.

Don't forget taxes, shipping and commission. You won't make Jack...

The buyer pays shipping plus extra on it as everyone else does to cover some more but in either case $50 profit per is still easy from what I see on the sites.

On gaming stuff I think they take 9 percent of the sale plus PayPal transaction fees. And any other extras like a 3 day auction versus standard auction ect.

Got to love capitalism. ;)

Too bad those stores limit your purchases so you have to pay some kids in beer to buy a few more for you.

I probably coulda got it and put it up for sale here and bypass all the eBay fees. Unfortunately I had no way to hide the purchase from my wife :-/

Should had bought 10 and made $50 on each on ebay / amazon.

Until two of them open a claim with ebay, say they were sent the wrong card and mail you back some Voodoo crap while pocketing the 1060. D:

You really have to laugh at Newegg pricing. They still figure the 970 is worth $300 dollars in some cases. (and I'm talking Newegg, not some nutter butter 3rd party seller on newegg) Though sometimes they're nice about it and offer you a $30 rebate to the $300 970. :p

It's not their fault, that's the market/manufacturer's price. Besides, given the high price tag and unavailability of 1070, why not... Come black Friday, they will pay you but a 970 :D
