Why? Why do you need one? The whole reason for the scalpers is from the stupid high demand driven by ludicrous time preference. You can play most games on a 1060 still. You can play most games on high with a 2070s. Not at 4k but certainly at 1080

Starting a fire would be my guess?
I want to mess around with locally run AI models as well.
And unfortunately I think that AI demand will be the 5000 series’ version of the 4000 series’ cryptocurrency mining demand that drove the scalpers scooping up all the supply of them for a while.
