I expect Gibbo will do another drop for Forum members this week.
Loving your optimism, but the last two forum voucher codes were apparently considered a failure, as "loads" of them ended up on eBay.
Not sure they'll be in any hurry to do another.
That's really a shame. I was really hoping to snag a 6800XT this side of christmas 2021.
He said he would do one last week but that never happened. Really hope we get one this week.

I guess there could be ways to manage it, but would probably add Admin overhead and make it not worthwhile...
anyway, my idea:
List the cards at £3000.
Voucher for forum members brings it down to £1600 (or another amount that would make it not worth trying to scalp)
4 weeks after cards are delivered, OC send the buyers a unique verification code
Buyer then sends back a photo of their card (ideally installed in a PC), with the serial no and verification code visible
Once verified, OC then refund the buyer an amount that brings the overall outlay to a reasonable sale price (maybe £900 back to bring the overall sale price to £700 for a 6800XT)
Not overly simple and some people might not like being out of pocket for 4 weeks.. but I'm sure there are plenty of people who have waited long enough that they would try it!

Indeed, I didn't think it would be worthwhile to implement. While there might be some technical ways to restrict voucher codes to forum members, it's impossible to prevent those users from buying to resell them without some kind of incentive for the user to verify they have not sold it.
