i7-6700k Could anyone want it this badly?

[Richard Meikle]

No real reason to charge so much for a processor with an MSRP of $350

 

[Karsten75]

Anyone can charge any price for non-regulated products. That's waht a free market economy is all about. And if someone is willing to pay, they are entitled to do so.

Probably a data entry, or transfer, booboo. Go buy one for $350 and offer to sell it to Amazon for half of their posted price.

Just buy it from a reputable supplier such as Novatech: http://www.novatech.co.uk/products/components/processors/intelskylake1151/bx80662i76700k.html

Seems to happen any time a new part comes out but has lower than normal stock. Happened with the R9 Fury X when it launched. Just people trying to make a quick buck.
