I'm a regular OcUK customer because I get a better deal than were I to buy from Malta.
However... not this time?
I found the 5870 from Malta at €340 (£310). It's not some bargain shop but a gamers' centre... Obviously I won't mention the site here in public but I will provide it to OcUK personnel if they need to verify it.
The best price for the 5870 from OcUK is £322.54 including VAT and shipping to Malta. That'd be around €354...
Now it's understandable that I buy from abroad because it's usually much cheaper. It won't be worth the risk were the prices identical or the difference minimal.
I'm writing this because I'm baffled - it's the first time that I found pc components cheaper locally than from OcUK and I'm wondering whether local prices have gone down or whether UK prices have gone up?
