Here in UK it's not a big deal. Subscribe to discord alerts for FE series drops, last 3090FE drop in February the cards were in stock for a full day, at RRP(£1399). I got a 3080 drop at RRP this way too(£649).

But even ignoring the FE series, the prices have already crashed massively, you can get a 3080 AIB for less than £1000, and 3090s frequently appear around £1500-1600.
