First of all it's worth noting that Best Buy did not actually sell any of these cards on June 10th. They had no stock and not even the bots got any cards. It's possible that Best Buy will stock this in the future though so I'll provide general instructions. I can't detail everything I know in this submission box, but I can try to point you in the right direction. Best Buy stocks graphics cards about every 2 weeks give or take a few days (so next time graphics cards will be stocked will be on or around June 24). There are livestreams on Youtube and Twitch that monitor the stock of graphics cards on Best Buy and you should keep one of those streams open during the days leading up to a possible drop. (Unfortunately I'm not able to recommend any specific streamers because there are probably rules against advertising, but you will probably find several by searching either "graphics card" on Twitch or "graphics card live stock" on Youtube and then you can pick one you like. Good ones will have auditory alerts for stock.) The idea is to be expecting stock on Best Buy's website so when it does happen you will hear the alert and hopefully already have the Best Buy tabs open and ready to go. If you are on the site at the right time, the button will turn yellow and show "Add to Cart", and when you click it, you will be put in a virtual queue, and when you are at the front of the queue, the button will turn yellow and show "Add to Cart" once again, and this time it will add the GPU to cart. At this point, if you got that far, check out as quickly as possible. Also, a final tip is that if you only aim for only one card you are more likely to leave empty handed. You should identify several cards that all fit your budget and try for all of them at the same time. That way, you're more likely to at least get a card instead of no card. It may take a few drops to have a success, but every time you get more experience and learn more about the process, so you will be better prepared for next time. Good luck!
