We will see if this shows true. I have my doubts.

This sounds like rumor-mongering to keep the FOMO real and prices high right before AMD's release.

Even if it is true - I have to question if the demand is really there at those prices. Sure, they may be selling out, but ... if you had enough cards to satisfy the demand, how far off from that point are you, really? I say that, but then again I remember the mining craze and how much stupid money is out there that people will throw around without a care... the answer will make me further question my faith in humanity, I'm sure.

I would be happy with the mining craze prices, way less ridiculous then what is going on now, I hope that ones there is some stock prices will go to more sane levels, right now, it's MSRPx2 and then some

Yeah, MSRPs hadn't skyrocketed (yet), but what I really had in mind during that era were people buying GPUs by the crate-load, no matter what the price was. Everyone was just looking at a perceived ROI and going bonkers on that thinking that return was always gonna be there, rather than thinking - "Holy Crap I'm spending as much on a rack of GPUs as I did my house"

Never trust Nvidia. They've been deceptive, manipulative and downright criminal since the mining craze of 2016/2017. Same with the AIB's.

I kind of hope this is the case but I find it funny that the market they don't care about is who they turn to to buy up excess production.
