I stumbled across this and it seems that prices are trying to ramp down slightly. If you checked the other options on AZ for this card, the _slower_ cards are actually more expensive.
$269 isn’t a great price, but it’s bearable for someone that badly needs a new card. It shows to be shipping 3/29/2018.
