Was just browsing some computer graphic card deals and found it.

https://www.shoppingexpress.com.au/buy/msi-geforce-rtx-2080-…

Not sure how good is this online dealer Shopping Express (maybe someone who has bought things from them can comment?), but this is definitely the best bang for the buck you can get for 2080ti. Normal price is ~$2k

Some highlights:

*MSI the big brand you can trust
*Gaming X series has arguably some of the best designs among all GPUs
*Looks like the 3 Free games deal (Anthem AND Battlefield V AND Metro Exodus) is over? Need someone to confirm
*$1244 is so far the best price there is and I wonder if there's ever gonna be. I've been watching the price of this card for a long time
*AUD, no extra GST, shipping cost included
*Still in stock

EDIT: Looks like the crazy price only lasted for about 50 min lols.
Some folks reported their order got cancelled and refunded, while some others still waiting to see if the shop will honor the deal.

Mod: Price error, purchasers are being refunded. Moved to forums.

    Not a bad price for a triple fan card from a reputable brand.

  • [Deactivated] on 10/04/2019 - 12:18

    Shopping Express is fairly popular here. Well, their eBay store is. So yeah, they are a reputable seller.

    On a side note, the price is..wait, it's $2K+ on all eBay stores. Woah!

  • tonyyang on 10/04/2019 - 12:22

    definitely worth it, what a deal. Nice find

    I'd be suprised if this isn't a mis listing. This is pretty much the 2080 price tmk, crazy price considering how 2080tis are now.

    Price now showing $2,099.00

    NOPE PRICE FIXED

    FFS I was going to buy it now

    • rainbowyen on 10/04/2019 - 12:43

      I was on the same boat, since they fixed so quick, no way they would fulfill your order, they will be losing hundreds if they do.

        Damn, I saw OP post another thread on it and was legit. Then got a coffee, back to desk to order then BAM $2K. That coffee cost me $800…

        Respect the down-voting but was trying to confirm for fellow Ozbargain legends to we could all scam a 2080TI :) I did call as it was pulled down from the site so i can't be blamed… any up votes now?? :)

        Reckon they were onto it pretty quick as the guy said the price was showing differently in two different systems.

          This community will literally do anything for a bargain. Most of us act like we have heart out of self-satisfaction and ego. Myself included.

            @MagicMushroom: Yeah agree. Bet most of the people that downvoted are armchair warriors that have never helped a fellow Oz bargainer in their life. Happy to sit back and let everyone else do the hard work. Quick downvote again.

    Watched a YouTube video the reviewer was saying some (if not all) of these RTX crads are suffering memory degradation issue (Micron chips) - after having the cards for a while the FPS drops significantly…

    Is this still the case? Or they have fixed it?

    • Paligu on 10/04/2019 - 13:21

      nope its not fixed! all RTX 2080, RTX 2080Ti cards have this issue except RTX 2070

    • [Deactivated] on 10/04/2019 - 15:04

      Not just Micron memory. Also with Samsung memory.

      Still the case. Not fixed yet. The workaround is to play as many games as possible before your card dies :-D

    can it run crysis?!!?!!

    • EnALup on 10/04/2019 - 13:27

      Yea, want to know if it can play Minecraft and Solitaire as well.

      • Justtip on 10/04/2019 - 23:20

        Barely. You'll see major screen tearing and fps drop if you try to play minesweeper on ultra though

    Bought one while the price was down and just got a refund on PayPal so no, probably won't be fulfilling these unfortunately..

    • Bid Sniper on 10/04/2019 - 13:46

        Yeah, got an email shortly after explaining the fact. On a plus side, everyone who placed an order should be getting a small voucher to spend with them instead as a gesture.

    Yikes. This is actually a significant bargain apparently, but you can buy a Switch, Pro and X for the price of one GPU.

      Console, console, console =/= PC

      • Gerry H on 10/04/2019 - 21:59

        2080 ti is twice as fast as x1x, and x1x is a full machine not just a component. ur paying 4x the money for a component that's twice as fast.

        and dont give me the rtx/dlss bs. nobody uses them and they dont make a difference anyway.

    • Nixmanik on 10/04/2019 - 21:04

      If you're actually in the market for this league of GPU, you're likely not comparing your spending money to consoles anymore.

      A PC, monitor(s), and games/software to justify the GPU would be enough to buy two or three of each console and then some.

      • lostn on 10/04/2019 - 21:49

        I'm not. I'm just looking at alternatives on what your money can get you. Top end is never good value for money.

        You can play more games with 3 consoles than a GPU + PC, unless you count Steam shovelware.

  • Lollypophop on 10/04/2019 - 23:11

    I saw this a fortnight ago and did a little research on their e-store. The results were not good, hence, I didn't publish the deal nor try and purchase it (why publish a deal that appears too good to be true without doing any research? Did you want to inadvertently get numerous other scammed?)

    There were numerous reviews on their site complaining about being scammed or having to jump through hoops for over 2 months to get a refund. I personally haven't purchased from them so I cannot comment on the process. On the other hand, there were also numerous positive comments. However, the trend with the negative comments where that shoppingexpress would post some 'amazing' deals or apparently purposely misprice an item, then never deliver on the object hoping for shoppers to either forget they made the purchase or give up on trying to get a refund.

    Yes, the deal looked amazing. In fact, it was the cheapest priced 2080ti pretty much anywhere in the world. Not only the cheapest binned 2080ti, but the cheapest 2080ti full stop. That would mean that this 'deal' was almost certainly too good to be true. I would have gladly jumped on the deal and posted it if I didn't suspect that it to end terribly. I am glad that many of you got a refund. I am assuming that they did a mass refund as they would unlikely get away with sitting on ~$1300 for dozens, maybe hundreds of customers without significant backlash.

    TL:DR - this deal looked to good to be true, was too good to be true, glad no one got scammed.
