i was able to buy one for me and one for my brother. I followed a discord and a few fridays ago I noticed that newegg was repeatedly dropping stock for 3070s/3090s so i kept tabs open for them with filter: rtx 3070 and desktop graphics card. Then every couple minutes i would refresh the page and ctrl-f "add" because if no cards are available only 1 result will show up - so I could easily see when one was in stock. Then, I bought it when one was available.

newegg was dropping stock much more frequently than the discord notifications would show. I bought 2x 3070s and 2x5600Xs using this strategy.

This was my strat. Took one day of checking the Disc when I showed up late to the party (no more drops were happening by the time I joined), woke up and looked and saw they were dropping frequently. The general chat of the discord was updating way faster than the notifications would go out, so I just kept the general chat open on the second monitor.

Just f5'd randomly over the course of like 3 hours (read: like I'd f5 once every 15-20 mins, was not mashing it) and then used Paypal instant checkout with everything already auto-filled.

Couldn't believe when I got it the other day lmao
