I payed 135$ for a rx 570 with resident evil 2 remake and devil may cry during 2018. Not saying it needs to be that good a deal, but gpu prices are still ridiculous imo. I'd maybe consider paying 200$ for this. Maybe 230$ on a day I feel generous. No reason a year old, mid level, budget card should be 300$ when you can't even use these cards to effectively mine. Call me crazy but this still feels like scalper level pricing. Just because they've gone down from insane, to slightly less than insane doesn't mean their price is good now.

.....this is below MSRP so how is it scalper pricing?

It is considered scalper as scalpers are associated with gouging, which is what these prices have been. Manufacturers and retailers let prices soar and they were happier than a MF to rake in record revenues on GPUs when supply was restricted and demand was off the charts. Now that mining is dying, supply is catching up, there is a glut of used GPUs from miners combined with a very powerful new gen of cards on the horizon, prices have been plummeting.
Consumers have been stockholmed into thinking MSRP on a year old card that's about to be dramatically outclassed is a good deal. It isn't. They're mouth watering at the prospect screwing us one last hard time by getting us to buy their nearly last gen cards at launch MSRP lol. This won't be worth $150 in 4 months.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, and wait. Let them eat warehouses full of GPUs. They need to bleed so they'll remember not to play these games.
* I've been saying for months prices are crashing for these exact reasons, look at my post history. People respond viciously when I've said it. It's isn't an opinion, it's just economics playing itself out. These manufacturers and retailers got greedy and are hoping consumer ignorance will bail them out.

$30 off MSRP.
Also, no free shipping. Oddly, I get a shipping for $8.77.
