so a local store had them? Any idea how many?Nice. If i hadn't just bought one from Best Buy in Westminster...
I mean it’s being fulfilled at Best Buy locally in a week so probably no stock. I was probably wrong that they had stock, but I did see Microceter has them retailso a local store had them? Any idea how many?
So if you pass the "second click" is it in any way "stored away" in your checkout or do you still need to race as fast as possible to enter all your credit info?That process worked for me. I wish you luck!
I added my CC info and logged in before that point. Once I got the second click it allowed me to add to cart, had me log in again, and then came to checkout.So if you pass the "second click" is it in any way "stored away" in your checkout or do you still need to race as fast as possible to enter all your credit info?
You weren't out-botted, just too many thousands of other people doing the exact same thing at the same time.Well for shits and giggles I checked Best Buy this morning, and OMG there it is...*clicks add to cart* ... "You have to do one more step... please wait" ahhhh so this is the shit people were talking about. Presumably "please wait" and if I'm staring at the screen at the exact moment the "release some more cards" it'll add to cart and I'll still get out botted on the check out procedures
Oh ouch... so if you get by that 2nd check, there may be a 3rd and they're only store pickup? I mean crap at that point why couldn't I just go to the damn store myself and get one.You need to race because they seem to limit how many are allocated to certain regions/stores.
I fought with their system for a 3060Ti and a 5900X. Both let me add to cart but when it came to the checkout, it wouldn't let me pick any store near me.
It is reserved once you enter checkout according to Best Buy:So if you pass the "second click" is it in any way "stored away" in your checkout or do you still need to race as fast as possible to enter all your credit info?

To their credit, Best Buy has actually thwarted most of the auto-checkout bots with recent site/API changes.
I got to checkout...and it would not let me select a store. I tried like 15 different stores up to 70 miles away until it eventually got pulled from my cart :-/
you have it reserved at that point. You just have to select pickup in another state. Unfortunately I'm serious, you could have gotten through checkout if you selected a store in a region able to get cards. It happened to me in the first round or two with the 3090s, had it in cart and could get to checkout, couldn't check out with any store in my state or states near mine, but randomly checked and.... could pick up in grand rapids, MI.I got to checkout...and it would not let me select a store.

So if you live near a rural BB you're pretty SoL, I'd assume. I called my local store yesterday to see if they would have any and sat on hold for 15 minutes before I gave up.you have it reserved at that point. You just have to select pickup in another state.

not necessarily, I think it is by region/district, making up a few or several stores, probably however many cards and headed to the hub from which the cards ship supplying those stores.So if you live near a rural BB you're pretty SoL, I'd assume.

Keep me posted if any end up F/S. I’m still not totally convinced I want to buy a 3090, but I’m considering it.3090's seeming easier to get, or at least more drops today than usual. I've got several on order with Amazon now and will either put them in F/S at zero-profit or cancel them.

Easier? Yes. Easy? Not even close.Does 3080 seem any easier to get on specifically Amazon now compared to a month ago?

Would Paypal be any faster? For me it always forwards me to paypal's website and back... vs. having the CC saved on Newegg and typing 3 digits I have memorized. Genuinely curious.Doing it wrong. PayPal.
Count me in among thoseWhen a lurker comments, you know the entire GPU situation is ridiculous.
Yes. Offloads that from Newegg’s site- almost everyone having success there is using PayPal because the transaction happens in the background. It’s not the speed, it’s the offload it seems.Would Paypal be any faster?
