Supply and demand. High demand for new graphics cards thanks to miners and bots sucking up any supply that is seen online and results in price inflation due to shortages. 

 

Are you trying to ask a question here about graphics cards or more better as a status update?

I bought a 1650 back in november for a build in december when I saw they were going out of stock. I bought it at MSRP which was nice but I did not get my cpu early enough. I still do not have it!! I could literly flip my card on ebay and make $200 the only thing Is I would not be able to get a new one at MRSP so I am not flipping it.
