NewEgg lists MSI Radeon RX 6600 XT graphics card at an absurd $ 1100 dollars.
A MSI Radeon RX 6600 XT Gaming X graphics card was temporarily available for purchase at Newegg for the price of 1,100 US dollars. Following the official introduction of the graphics card, it is VERY unlikely that street prices will be THAT expensive.
AMD's new Radeon RX 6600 XT graphics card will officially go on sale on Wednesday. Newegg made an outrageously expensive offer. A comparable graphics card was recently made available by the US retailer Newegg, for which an extremely high price was demanded. The price for the exact model, an MSI Radeon RX 6600 XT Gaming X, was an unbelievable 1,100 US dollars (about 935 euros).
AMD actually plans to bring the Radeon RX 6600 XT to market for a considerably cheaper price than the current MSRP of $379. Most likely, the graphics cards will be available on the market in limited quantities, causing the actual price to be substantially higher than it was before they were removed.
The MSI RX 6600 XT Gaming probably won't cost $ 379, which is the official AMD suggested price for this model. MSI's Gaming X is the high-end variant with factory overclocking and an above-average cooling solution, which will definitely drive up the final price. It is not yet clear whether it will be close to $400 or $500. However, it definitely shouldn't cost $ 1100.

That's a third-party selling on newegg, not newegg themselves.

$1100 for a 1080p card in 2021... what a time to be alive.

Stop using Newegg, Amazon, Alibaba and so... you will see price droping down.
As i have said many time, in real physical shop the price is just above official price right (they have to do marging) now for ANY video card.
The only thing is that you still wait a week or two if not in stock due to shortage.
Exept if you want it, you shouldn't pay price like that, as there is no more reason to have those price.
I wish that statement was true even locally the shops are charging scalper prices.
As for this pricing on the 6600xt it's not surprising the 3060 pricing is also insane on on Newegg ffs

Easier said than done.

I don't think that changes a whole lot. The point of choosing one marketplace over another is because of things like customer support, product quality, shipping policy, and fair pricing. Newegg themselves might not sell at such prices but it doesn't speak well of them if they do nothing to stop such a behavior in their own marketplace.

And everyone blamed scalpers for outrageous prices.
My, my...greed is the only game played worldwide without any doubt.
I blame the miners far more than the scalpers. The miners caused the unprecedented shortage, which created the starved market for the scalpers. Eventually the stores had to raise their own prices when scalpers were buying what little the shops were getting after the miners took the lion's share. If a shop made 100 bucks of profit selling a card to a scalper, who then made 300 dollars of profit (without even paying any taxes) reselling the card, what kind of braindead shopkeeper would allow that to continue forever?
