I am desperate and hoping you guys can help. I've just spent weeks planning and building a studio rig, which will work fine as long as I have Thunderbolt, but when I finally went to buy the Thunderbolt 3 AIC card, I found out something really weird and horrifying: they are out of stock, litereally EVERYWHERE in the United States...people are even charging ~250 bucks for used ones apparently. 

Am I missing something here? There has to be a retailer that has these in stock, I'd really rather not wait a month for shipping from Japan or the UK.

Anyone?

Thanks, saw that one, I'm one of the bidders actually but the main bidder is way on top of it, almost definitely won't win the bidding war, and honestly don't feel like I should have to get this kind of item in auction, did they just not manufacture enough or what? 

Seriously, being completely OOS in all of North America seems egregious. Especially considering there are countless UK and Japanese retailers that say (20 left in stock) or thereabouts. Something super funky going on with the distribution here.

Kinda harsh there aren't you. Thunderbolt isn't "exactly" a PC thing. Just how many would you be willing to produce and pay for out of pocket?

Call them on Monday.
