Shocking that Overclockers have marked up most GPUs after the EU vote

agree`d but i see there point sort of lol

they could have at least given it a few weeks as the pound will stabilize...

what I want to see is if they will be just as quick to reduce the prices when the time comes ...

How is it shocking? Come on man, open your eyes.

It is shocking.

The OCUK prices are more volatile than the stock markets today.. I mean calm down and wait a few days will you?

What and give the people a chance to buy now before they do? Knowing whats inevitably going to happen?

That's not in their best interest now is it.

Edit: Although, Gibbo did say he would look at it a 3pm.

Looks like they've backtracked and put them all back down again for now?

Totally unjustified of course, they're just trying to milk it for every last penny. Of course £ will stabilise, no question about that. They're just taking advantage of the 'doom and gloom' situation perpetuated by the media. When exchange rate was in the mid 1.20's earlier this year did we see such price rises?? Nope. They couldn't have got away with it then that's why! £ is no less likely to rally than it was then either. It's all so transparent, and any argument about this making good business sense is just nonsense.

Edit: yeah, you're right... prices have dropped again. Mmm... maybe they saw the error of their ways, or saw the tidal wave of aggro coming their way from customers lol! That is, until 3pm as Gibbo said perhaps, then they go up again ha!

Only place that put prices up, competitors have kept their pricing the same as yesterday. No gouging required.

I've always bought here (and will continue to do so) but OCUK have always been one of the most shameless gouger's on the net requiring little reason to up prices. Now I just wait it out and buy later to avoid the gouging.

Not just GPU's, my Skylake upgrade (Mobo and 6700K) have gone up too.. glad i bought the Dominator RAM last week cuz that went up aswell. If these prices are the same on monday/tuesday, then i'll be holding off the upgrade just by the principal of the whole thing, as OcUK already had bought this stock but still put up prices in an instant.

This sort of price gouging is totally out of order for a company of Overclockers reputation.

Prices have dropped guys.... Panic over

Other items are still way above what they were yesterday

Yes, not all prices have dropped, just some. The drop back down again MAY be permanent, it may not. Apparently it's been mentioned in another thread that it was a blanket increase across the board just to cover them temporarily... but we shall see. As mentioned, some prices are still higher than yesterday, and there's ZERO justification for such an increase YET! I could see under certain circumstances, in a few weeks, but to action this so soon is nothing more than a shameless money making exercise. £ is ALREADY showing signs of recovery anyway, and anyone with an ounce of common sense knows things will stabilise. I thought all the doom and gloom would have ended yesterday, but seems we've got more to come!

I must admit - i'm quite shocked Overclockers have done this. I don't think i ever recall a retailer moving their prices so considerably in a direct response to a currency change - sure over the course of a few days / weeks you'll see it but never immediately. I guess it does lend some credibility to some peoples views that they gouge the prices quite often.

I know i won't be buying from OCUK any longer.

I don't think you understand, the vast majority of purchases are priced in USD and we do not carry months and months of stock - so for popular lines we haven't even paid for them yet and when we do, we'll be subject to the market rate on dollars - which atm stinks!

Disappointing. Tbh I find it hard to believe that your finance teams woudn't have had forward exchange futures in place to hedge against adverse exchange movements.

Me thinks you need better people running the numbers.

It could be time to chill guys, it could be the apprentice or office junior who hit the button too quick now sat there with a red hand.

Result of sugar rush from too many Haribo's this morning

from my basket that contains 7 items atm only 1 had price back-gpu rest are up all of them.Shocking.
