A:Answer Until taiwan's prolific chip shortage causing massive inflation and with scalpers likely owning the largest market share, the current economic environment will ensure that the price is triple the MSRP. It is extremely hard to find one even double the MSRP, meanwhile Taiwan's chip shortage shows no signs of going away anytime soon. I would estimate in at least 6 to 18 months until this inflation subsides.
Websites like Amazon and new egg are even dealing with widespread scalping. The few sites refusing to do so (like bestbuy) see perpetual out of stock shortages.
I went to my local best buy and they had literally no gaming PCs nor good GPUs. I went 2 months later and it was the exact same. So again, maybe 6 months (if some miracle happens) and more likely 12-24 months. Its the worst time in history to buy anything gaming PC related. Good luck my friend. Craigslist is your best bet. Just be checking every 6 hours because even then, fairly priced 3060s sell in literally hours so you gotta be the FIRST person to go after it.
