6 more as of right now. Wish it would drop back to $400.
4 left when I just posted this. Either nobody wants them or they are adding more stock....Simulated panic buy?
Don't think that card was ever $400
At launch I planned to wait on non-ref design for CF, was planning to pay ~$30 more per card. Never happened due to supply/demand (craze). Hundreds of dollars over that plan, I sit on 780Ti SLI. Oh well..
That sucks! Being forced to buy a NVidia product to me is like buying a Apple offering....Not going to happen.
Exactly, I don't see Amazon and Best Buy raising prices over MSRP on PS4s because those consoles were selling out as fast as they could get them. This was Newegg setting a precedent that other etailers followed.

This bitching is just meh...
I dropped $600 for Sapphire tri-x. Card works. Will it drop in price? Probably.
Even if it is $450 soon, I don't care as $150 isn't that much to lose my sleep.
It is just a GPU people, either you need it or you don't. Get a life and stop crying over few bucks.
Can you imagine how pissed off customers would be if stores decided to mark up the price of the latest Playstation 50% or more the day after release because they were selling out?
My thought was, why pay more for a card when the price increase does not carry extra performance versus its release price.
not sure if that would be better than the people who walk into a store, buy up all the stock, then go out the front and hawk the recently bought items for a 50% mark up (on second hand goods).
(or ebay it for a marked up price).
The store could always make a policy of "one per customer" to at least make it more difficult to do that.
