I just happened to be looking at gpu's and I noticed that for most cards prices have dropped drastically since Q1 this year. Vega 64 for $750, 1080ti for about 1k. These seem to be what the cards should be priced at, at least for the vega as the lower priced cards are actually a little lower than msrp. (which would be $780 given exchange rates)
Anyways this is what I have been predicting would happen this year, miners finally have their cards and mining is not profitable enough to warrant buying dozens and dozens of new cards. When the new gen cards for both AMD and nvidia come out we will probably see a similar lack of stock and price hike, but imo it should go back to normal much faster then last time. Also depending on the hash rates of the new cards they may not even be considered a big enough increase for miners to want to swap out their current gpu's.
now for the ram prices to come down...
