Using EVGA since it's usually a good benchmark.
When the 970 was released last September the official prices from the official european shop were in the range 320-360 euros.
This one model:

Launched with a price of 335 euros or something very close to that.
Then I think around February there was a sudden price spike (probably due to dollar/euro fluctuations) and the price of that card jumped straight to 385 euros.
Today, there was another enormous price jump, that card is now sold for 452 euros! It's insane.
With the current exchange rate the price for that 970 is $477. The exact same model is sold on newegg for $100 less in the US.
So since release the price of any 970 went up by more than 120 euros ($126) in just 6 months. The older it gets, the more it costs. And it's literally impossible now in Europe to get decent hardware with accessible prices.
To not even consider the 980. The basic model with Nvidia fan is sold for 724 euros!! That's $765.
