I literally just got one. They are still in stock right now!!
It's very possible, my hands are shaking right now lol. I honestly believe I was one of the first one who ordered on that batch. I had my page auto refreshing every 2 seconds lol!
First, I don't want to derail this thread, as I actually planned on getting one, but this must be why AMD has lowered the 1800X to $400 and the 1950X TR to $880 (I snagged another one due to that)When they do come in stock have they been $500 like at Microcenter? For $500, and barely being able to find it, you might as well get a skylake x that is available now. This is a joke.
i7 8700 now up on newegg

Lol. Great done AT sniper team. Congrats.Same, just sniped one while randomly refreshing the page. It shows up in NIS now though, so it'll prob sell out in a minute or two.
Edit OOS in 1 minute after being in stock. Did we get the only two? LOL
It just went up to $409 at newegg (the 8700K)
Keep trying, I keep a refresh of 2 seconds up when I am watching it. You will get oneCongrats to those who got one! I had more empty shopping carts today at Newegg...darn it!
I seriously think we were the only 2 to purchase them lol. I got mine, he bought his and they were instantly down again. I would be surprised if they had more than 2 available. It really feels good getting in so soon. I couldn't be more excited, especially with how old my rig currently is.Lol. Great done AT sniper team. Congrats.
I'm just curious since this thread has gone pretty off topic. How much would you guys be willing to pay for this processor if it was in stock right this second and you could guarantee one. I asked the wife and she instantly said 500 without hesitation. I'm not surprised at all that newegg increased the price to 409, I see it going up once more before stock comes available (which I don't think will be extremely relevant until end of november.
But let me know what you would pay, If I wouldn't have been lucky enough to get one, I probably would be right around the 500 dollar range as well.

I wouldn't pay 500 for it. Maybe if the day it was released I could get one for 500 and I knew it would be really hard to get for a while I might have. But nearly a month after release date, they are (hopefully) going to be easier to get soon. This far out, I might as well continue to wait. I'll keep trying to get lucky on Newegg.
I just got an email that my 8700k has shipped from B&W. Now I've got to grab my board and ram.IMO, overpaying, only encourages the continual run up in prices that we have seen in multiple components.
