Rx 9070 insane price match

Posted by Top-Rub-87@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 21 comments

Sent a link from woot on a sapphire nitro plus 9070 XT that was SOLD OUT to Best Buy support trying to see if I had any miracle luck price matching and the agent ended up sending me an invoice for a RX 9070 XFX Swift OC for $499.99!($669.99 on BestBuy) even though an agent back then once told me they can’t price match woot this agent did, and It wasnt even the same SKU or model but got an insane deal and the card is being prepared to ship! Finesse!

Doesn't sound like finesse. Seems pretty dishonest to me.

Well they approved it. It’s not like op forced Best Buy to do it

But you knew it wasn't the same item, so that's flat out dishonest. This is why companies have tighter and tighter controls because of dishonest people like you.And now you're on here bragging about it. When in reality you're just making it harder for all of us to get an honest price match. I'm sure your parents are so proud of you pal.

I think you’re confused. I’m not the one who did it

Happy i snagged my 9070xt early for 699 on ebay.

Well we can match prices . But the system only allows it to go so far. I’m guessing this was barely doable , and the person shouldn’t have done it lol. But good for you

Is 499 a deal on a 9070....that's just MSRP is it lol.

No, its msrp is 550, and msrp for 9070 and XT was fake (real one was +$50 at minimum) for most of their lifetime.

What rock did you just crawl out from! Don’t go look at the price of RAM.

I just got a 9070 XT for 599 like 6 weeks ago lol. I'm aware of ram prices and even 9070 XT/5070ti and higher cards going up. Seemed like there were still deals on 5070 and 9070s happening. Micro center just had 9070s for 499 last week. Granted a lot of people aren't near one.

You are most definitely, not "aware"

6 weeks ago is like saying you bought last gen parts on discount. Not only are the sales gone, but the prices are all marked up.

Top-Rub-87@reddit (OP)

My Best Buy has it listed at $669 and I couldn’t find any other 9070 at 499.99 plus prices keep going up

OkTale8@reddit

Should $669.99 be 9070XT pricing? I could swear that’s about what I paid for mine earlier this month.

[-]

pythonic_dude@reddit

XT pricing "should" be $600, and no amount of "OC" in basic 9070 should price them higher than XT. But such logic does not apply in current times.

Microcenter was selling the challenger for $549 a couple weeks ago and it’s $699 now. That should tell you just about everything. I’m so glad I pulled the trigger on my Yeston for $599 a month ago.

Great card lol, I got an xfx model for $50 on marketplace a few weeks ago and chucked it in a spare pc I do various tasks/emulation on Insane value 1080p card even today, hold onto it tight

jhenryscott@reddit

I got the same card for the same price. It’s an awesome card man. Enjoy.

omg that's actually crazy luck! once an invoice is issued and its being prepared to ship, u r basically safe! my advice is just dont message support again, for 499 that xcx 7900 xt is a monster for gaming editing streaming just make sure you have a solid 750W Gold PSU and good airflow because it’s a thick, warm card. I’m typing this like hurry before they notice, but yeah… huge W, pure finesse energy :))
