Damn, sorry to send you in the wrong direction there. Wait until after the holidays... and maybe tax return season.

They were in stock not but a month ago. I got an e-mail from New Egg that had Zotac and 2 other 4090's with a huge heading that said "4090's back in stock".

I suspect the disruption will square itself out when we all go back to our seasonal depression in February.

lol, they were never "IN-STOCK". At least, not the way you think. They were in-stock for about 1 minute, at best.

Did those E-mails happen to tell you how MANY those site had in-stock? Having 1 or 1,000 both qualify as in-stock.

I had to follow a YT channel and Discord server that are made specifically to scrape most large retailers for in-stock 4090's. Every time one comes in stock, It goes out of stock within seconds. And whenever a site got any in-stock, It was only ever in small batches, And they'd space out the sale of them too. If they got 20 cards in, They'd sell 5 at a time, and drop each set of 5 like 10 - 20 minutes apart.
