-Buy one for me too then, got tired of waiting for B580's to come down to a reasonable price so I just moved my 6800xt into my Steambox and now am shopping for something more powerful to go into my main.

May my 980ti finally see a days rest in 10 years...
You need at least a 9070 don't you think? ARC isn't even in that discussion currently. There was a XFX MERC 7900XTX in the TPU FS/FT forum that just sold for $600. There are deals if you keep your eyes open on tech forums.

- I was hoping to keep my 6800XT in my main and snag B580/6750XT/306012gb for the Steambox but prices have been bad, even used stuff is "NO LOWBALLS I KNOW WHAT I GOT" levels of stupid on pricing, so I figured I'd rather move the 6800XT over and deal hunt for something at least as good or better than my 6800XT instead.

Ironically 6800XTs and 6900's are relatively cheap for their performance thanks to poor RT, lack of DLSS or FSR4, and high power requirements so I might just end up right where I started :p

Why should you, as a buyer, have to make an offer? They as the seller should set a price. Unless of course you are talking about eBay where the offer but it now OBO and set a comically absurd price?

-Yeah, eBay is where I look thanks to the buyer protections.

People asking $300+ for 3060ti's etc it's ridiculous.

Unfortunately seller protections are non-existent and have been for a long time. Still doesn't justify stupid asking prices. I got a 6600 XT for ~210 total a month ago, not terrible. The 6600 XT's are drying up though but there seem to be an abundance of non XT's. I would've preferred a 6700XT but asking prices aren't worth it.
