Newegg Thanks Kid For Finding Graphics Card Lottery Loophole, Closes It - Kotaku

And the graphics card market is, well, you know how it is.

RTX 3000 series cards and others are in short supply and high demand, so retailers either bundle their limited stock of them with lots of other pricey parts, or raffle them off to rare winners of online lotteries like Newegg’s “Shuffle” contests.

Normally, the service requires you to buy all the parts for a finished gaming rig and then pay Newegg an assembly fee on top.

On mobile, however, Santana was able to select all the parts, go to checkout, and then delete them all and purchase a $729 Nvidia RTX 3070 graphics card all by itself.
