I imagine OC are getting charged more too though and are just passing the price on to make the same profit. It does make me feel better about dropping £1300 for my 6900 XT on the auction site seeing these prices though.

they are far far higher on a lot of cards, some 200 quid more on say the 3090 x3 ventus, go on justify thatI imagine OC are getting charged more too though and are just passing the price on to make the same profit.

i seem to recall this being the case for well over a year.When did OcUK become scalpers?
Its not on at all IMO and their practices lately are not what I have come to expect from them at all.

I can't and have no idea of the actual truth. I just seems out of character from my experiences with them over the years and I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. I personally don't think they are adding hundreds of pounds to the prices just because people will pay it, I think it's more likely that they're having to buy them in at inflated prices.they are far far higher on a lot of cards, some 200 quid more on say the 3090 x3 ventus, go on justify that
highly unlikely, i only compared against one well known pc store and there are several instances of differences of around 150 to 200, so not a one off either. but im not bitter as OC not the only exampling of upping prices, many pc places are yanking prices up, there are a few decent ones that are not, business make as much as you can get away with, theres always someone that will come along and pay a silly price, myself, im just waiting it out, or untill maybe there are founders ed.'s available, plus i may go back to console gaming after 20yrs, thing is a lot of ppl buying these cards at silly prices arent really pc gamers, its lockdown bordem, sames goes for a lot of hobbies, when we go back businesses will take a hit as the market will be flooded with unused gpu's unless mining boom continues, time will tell i guessI can't and have no idea of the actual truth.

Christ, people say "don't buy from scalpers, it encourages them", yet right now the scalpers on auction sites are cheaper than the retailers.... so who are really the scalpers?!
These stock issues are crazy, the founders edition was supposed to be £1399, the cheapest 3rd party from OcUK is £1759.

...Things are getting really silly and the way things are going, it wouldn't surprise come a month or two later, prices shoot pass the £2000 mark.
I think I'm out on this run and will look out for a PS5 instead, I really cannot justify paying £1700+ for a Graphics Card.
Just seen on a discord channel. Thought we were getting a heads up from Gibbo, but didn't see anything.
Well, if anyone was waiting on one, go get 'em!
ouch thats a joke.
But then again Gibbo's Ferrari is up for a service and those things are not cheap to run.
3090’s have never been part of those discussions of a heads up as we’ve always had at least one brand in stock for the past couple of months so there is no need to give a heads up as such when we generally always have product in stock.
The heads up is for 3070, 3060Ti and AMD 6000 series cards which have not yet been made available but will no doubt be the case late next week.
but will no doubt be the case late next week.
from that perspective.
