I've gotten some steals on Goodwill.com cases for local pickuo. Last year, picked up TWO Thermaltake Level 71 cases for $22 each. Worth the hour drive to pick them up. Last month, got a deal (not as good as the above) on a Corsair case.

I would suspect zero. I was an early purchaser (as soon as I heard about the deal - and it still showed as available). I doubt any went out the door at that price.

It was fun while it lasted: Thank you for ordering Samsung 980 MZ-V8V1T0B - Solid state drive - encrypted - 1 TB - internal - M.2 2280 - PCI Express 3.0 x4 (NVMe) - 256-bi, 579750702 Unfortunately, this order has been cancelled due to a pricing error. We deeply apologize for any inconvenience...

And what would likely happen - I'd drive down there and find out they were OOS - leaving me with the same travel expenses and no CPU.

I was finally able to get into their website. However, there was no option to add a Raptor Lake CPU to my cart for in-store pickup. All I was offered was the "Locate in the store" diagram. Looking at the 13700K/KF. I already have a 6900XT in the system I am upgrading, so integrated graphics...

I tried to add the blue one to my cart as soon as it was visible, then my cart showed it with QTY: 0 I did get the other one added where it reflected QTY: 1, but an error occurred when checking out. At that point, I went back to sleep.

Because it was 2AM and I just woke up for the sale. I was lucky I could find the video cards in the B-stock sales list ;)

The RTX 2060 is about 10% faster, but - for the money - I'm just fine with the 1070.

This is the 1070 I got. Pretty happy with the price.

Sorry to hear that. Now I feel better about my $159 1070 order - as I received a shipping notification from EVGA.

Given the choice between the upcoming (but not yet available) RTX 4080 for $800+ or a 1080 Ti for less than $200, what's the better "value" choice for an upgrade at the moment? I would certainly look at the 1070/1070 Ti/1080 for under $200 if I wanted/needed an upgrade from a less powerful card.

I had that in my cart, but was unable to complete the transaction before it said it was gone. It was you! ;) I then tried to add a 1070 Ti - same issue. Did manage to snag a 1070 for $159. Definitely an upgrade over the RX 480 I have one in one of my secondary systems. Now I figure I can...

Yet it's still a new 3060 Ti available for purchase for less than $500. I'm sure a lot of people don't "need" this card, but it seems to be in quite high demand these days. I went ahead and purchased one - as I had 50 EVGA bucks to use.

EVGA 3060 Ti back in stock at a reasonable price

Wanted to follow up and confirm that EVGA is issuing me $50 in EVGA Bucks for the recent price drop. Now just waiting for a 3060 Ti to stay in stock long enough for me to use them.
