For those new to my account (read: everyone), welcome! I'm on the hunt for a new GPU and this account will track my trials and tribulations in the newegg shuffle. So far, I'm 0-for-60-ish dating back to late December. Isn't this so much fun!?
With the news from this weekend that I secured a card and will not be tracking shuffles daily, I wanted to answer 2 questions that came up and potentially help some people. The questions were "how did you get a card" and "where did you get it". Here are the answers... (1/7)
So that's why I'm giving this up (regularly) and hopefully those answers help you put yourself in a better position to secure a card. I truly wish everyone the best of luck. It shouldn't be this hard, but it is. Give yourself every option possible in this quest. (7/7)
@monntolentino @tallwhitenerd Best of luck to you! For what it's worth, I didn't get mine through the shuffle. Check out @stock_drops for some additional assistance ;)
News: Having secured my card, I will no longer be entering the #neweggshuffle daily. I have other priorities right now and I want to make sure others who want to win have the best chance to do so. I may pop up from time to time but for now my record will stay at 0-for-100.
Good morning, Shufflers! I've entered the #neweggshuffle on Friday May 21. Hopefully #newegg comes through for one or more of you.
Some news coming this weekend...
@GruntBoy101 I thought about doing that, but it would defeat the purpose. If you're not getting, at all, an item you want in some capacity, it's not worth it to me.
Yesterday was a dud....not selected in the #neweggshuffle. But I've entered again today on #newegg. Maybe today will be the one of out roughly 100 or so for me?
