    I'd guess about €50 at absolute most for something like the 2500K, and even then, it'll take a while. They'll drop a bit, before launch, to clear stock and that, but probably not by that much.

    Where you can get one VERY cheap will be on Adverts closer to launch. There's always people wanting the latest and greatest. :P

    I wouldn't. They're extremely easy to test for stability, and you know almost straight away if it's going to work at all or not. Not like with an SSD or RAM or something.
