They want to have enough cards so they can scalp them on ebay !! Had a bad experience with Msi KT3 ultra 2 board back int the Athlon Days then had a Pentium 4 Northwood board die on me ! Both times there CS was horrible, I vowed from them to never touch them again . Fast forward 20 years later still don't own any of there products except a monitor and my boycott continues !! Won't tough a single card !

No, that isn't the reason why they are that highly-priced here, if you look at the previous generations, those prices are more or less at the MSRP, they too are around the $400-$500 mark. This is simply greed, that is what is going on here. It's as you say, there is a lot of stock but people like me won't be done in because they are greedy, I am not paying $1000 for a $500 card, they can all go screw themselves. If they don't lower it, I will import it myself, it will come near enough to the MSRP for me.
I have been looking at their web pages for weeks now, hoping saner minds will prevail, but apparently not. They even have to gall to ask $550 for a $300 CPU (Ryzen 5600X)
