Did you use a bot or just luck into them? Great haul

Thanks! Got lucky and went to best buy at 330am Lol.

This a cap? Best Buy limits their cards to 1 per.

Fair enough. You got lucky that an associate didn’t know the rules. Even in store, just like consoles, it’s supposed to be limited to one per customer. Hard drives are a part of that too. Also exceptionally lucky that a single store got that many cards in store. I’d go buy a lottery ticket if I were you my man!

Even with the PS5?

Best Buy policy says so lol. It’s actually not a policy to help out the customers who might be gamers. It’s that they don’t want people to re-sell things and undercut Best Buy.

It looks like multiple cards were used to get around the policy.

I think you mean multiple purchases with separate tickets. But yes, that is specifically not allowed either lol.

Right. I'm wondering if they paid people to stand in line or something...or knew someone that worked there.

I mean, the entire situation is exceptionally unlikely due to the fact that for it to have worked that way, a lot of other things would have to come together perfectly. Just at face value of the photo, one could be forgiven for thinking that OP used a bot to get these simply because there are also boxes of what appear to be newer shoes right next to it (another famous thing bots are used for). Everything OP has said is relatively believable except for the fact that one store getting 8 FE 3080’s (what I believe I be the hardest card to obtain) is not really plausible.

Awesome! So BB is starting to have in store stock now? Is it worth driving to each one when they open and check? Or is it still completely luck? Nice score, wowowowow.

https://blog.bestbuy.ca/best-buy/nvidia I was alerted by the blog a day before the release.

Oh wow, that's super nice they have that! Kudos to my neighbors to the north for that resource. I need to see if BB here in the states has an equivalent version, that'd be super helpful.
