Probably could resell on ebay for a profit. Saw a 6800U selling for 900$ yesterday. (Bid up to that, not starting bid).

I think these manufacturers really need to bring the cost of video cards down it is just ridiculous that a video card would cost in excess of $500...when the primary consumers for these high end card r school and college student who r into gaming

again, not the manufacturers, its the resellers. Bestbuy and CompUSA are at the $400 for GT/Pro and $500 for XT and Ultra.
And as much as we'd like to see them lower prices they're selling for the heightened costs so why not? If you'll notice any cards that are in stock for any length of time do start to drop in price. Plus, I can find many non-VIVO X800Pro's for $400 +/- $10...

I personally feel that charging ABOVE list price is unethical, regardless of the reason. And, to be honest, I would expect better from reputable merchants like Newegg, etc. I've run several businesses and would never have stooped to that. God knows you make enough at the markup included in any list price!
Anyone who says that demand shoud dictate prices agrees, in theory, with people having to pay ten dollars for a gallon of water, or an equivalent markup for food items in areas that have been hit by disaster when unscrupulous stores rip off people for essential emergency items.
And no, video cards certainly dont fall into that category, but the same logic applies insofar as demand = price.
