I'm only 2 wins for 200+ entries on the Newegg Shuffle...

April is when I first entered. I have cut back on entries lately as they have been dumb bundles or overpriced cards.

The only thing I read out of that was that you work for Newegg.

Are you a director of sales? CFO?

Tried.

I was in the queue. It went down to 1 min then jumped to 11 mins and was stuck there until the Walmart site went full derp and started flashing like crazy.

Would post video but doesn't support the format here lol

The site had a flaw where if you'd purchased before and saved one of the consoles, you could bypass the queue. This made the site basically vomit up its guts.

Exactly why I was thinking. What is this, Fast and Furious?

 

[ethlar]

i bet people are so desperate to get them that theyd still buy them

If you are going to buy online, I’d suggest getting the serial from the seller and confirming it is good on the EVGA site.

 

[bootyluvr]

Inside job?

 

[webby]

Could just be thieves looking to mine crypto with a bunch of free cards

 

[FooBird]

It’s not like a truck running down the highway is like EVGA on the side of it. This would be an unmarked thing like a Schneider truck or Knight truck. You’d almost have to know what’s in the manifest to target it…unless highway robbery is a thing in California.

 

[FooBird]

Actual highway robbery…not just ridiculous sales and income taxes….
