A bit high but it's ok. 6700ks usually go for $300 or so hence why I said 4790k should be less but I guess that's ok.

Still surprised people are trying to sell them for this much. Makes me sad that I could pay 50 dollars more for the "latest and greatest" 7700k but in reality I have to get RAM and a mobo too

CPU's don't usually drop in price until their performance is greatly superseded. See "Sandy Bridge" since the value was almost as high as MSRP until about 3 years ago or so.
