www.colamco.com allows you to pre order not in stock items. They have some reasonable 1080 TI's. Never used them, but worth a shot. Pay with a credit card that will allow stop payment if needed

I feel like life is just kicking me in the sack repeatedly when I come on this forum. Like the kind of kick you’d get from Bruce Lee in Enter the Dragon when he takes down that army of gards all by himself.
God damn miners. <drinks whisky>
I'd understand the getting kicked in the sack part, but you have a high end rig, with a fucking 1080ti.

Getting prices to drop... it's very risky. Pump up production and if the whole "cryptocoin" movement dies, you might die as well.
You paint a pretty dark scene there....Its just a graphics card man. lol.
Wait for the new hardware to hit shelves. It's liking like a few months out. Pre-order if you can find a place that will pre-order.I feel like life is just kicking me in the sack repeatedly when I come on this forum.

I feel like I hit the lottery last year for selling my used GTX 1070 at a mark-up and buying a GTX 1080 Ti FTW3 at MSRP for $730.
Patience grasshopper, let the fools buy their 2 year old graphics card at +150% MSRP.
When the new cards come out, strike then!

Completed listings on ebay for 1070s over the past few days show them selling between $400 to $450. Lowest prices on new 1070s are $550. Still too high, but a clear price drop vs a month or two ago.
30 year computer tech...
Yup in the same boat as your customers, been ready to upgrade for a long time, but no way in hell am I paying more than MSRP. Looks like the light at the end of the tunnel is starting to appear though...
As long as ANY cryptocurrency is minable on GPUs, those two quotes you have will be as relevant as
Bill Gates once saying 640K of memory was more than anyone needed. He was wrong of course and Nvidia and AMD will never make the mark on those quotes either.
They will never catch up when the unwashed masses want a get rich quick scheme.
Do prices realistically come back down?
I was of the belief that you just keep inflating prices ever so slightly with the release of every new model and when sales of that model slow down you just release another model and tweak the price slightly higher yet again - The process just repeats?
Be thankful you live in the US, in most other countries the price of hardware is ludicrous. Especially considering top of the line products.
On amazon.ca, MSI GTX 1070Ti Titanium hit C$660-ish (US$516) for a brief moment in early March, before it quickly sold out.
C$660 for a 1070Ti is pretty good by Canadian standards, checking on pcpartpicker.ca.
There were reports of GDDR5 shortages around the same time, so it was expected that the prices would be higher when the cards came back in stock.
More recently, On another canadian store, Gigabyte GTX 1070Ti hit C$710-ish (US$555). It sold out, but took some time for them to run out of stock.
The prices are much lower than before, because even the 1070Ti were hitting C$900+ back in Jan/Feb.
I think we will continue to see more stock rolling in and staying in stock for a while, but I wouldn't expect any of the cards to go below MSRP, because of the ram shortages.
Slowly but steadily all pc components are on the rise. I remember when Intel broke the 1k mark people were in shock. Here they are approaching 2k and there is no end in sight.

i'm not sure what "BS" means to you but mountains of unsold inventory can create huge business problems.
