Do you mean because of manufacturing problems, or some other reason?
Is it all about cryptomining?

There's multiple issues, silicon shortage, more demand from staying at home, and yes mining. 

I've even seen used cards going for more than what I paid new. I can occasionally find okay deals on Facebook Marketplace, then there's people trying to sell ancient cards for $100...

Thanks,
Richard
