Not being funny or anything, but why are OCUK charging £50-100 more than every other competitor for the exact same card?

I know these are rare as rocking horse No Swearing! K at the moment, but £399 is taking the absolute ****
 
I bet once they have stock the price will go up too with competitors. It always is silly season with pricing when a new card is released, especially one with very good performance. Personally I don't see prices dropping to their original level at release until Nvidia get their next generation to market.

Maybe once supply issues are overcome a £10-20 drop in prices

There is one huge difference between our competitors and ourselves. We have stock and they do not.
 
They've worked hard to get stock, some people are obviously prepared to pay the premium (only 4 left now) so why shouldn't they charge a bit extra? I'm not saying the monopoly is a good thing, but it's life!
 
i like the cooler cards, but im not too sure about the heat going back into the case, i kinda prefer the stock cooler for this reason.

I honestly can't see how you can justify a comment like that. Don't you honestly see how comes across......

You are saying when something is hard to get hold of, we will slap a 50% premium on it for our loyal customers.....

I realise this is a buisness and not a charity, one would expect some sort of add on fee, but close to a £100 does take some bottle.

I guess the short term profit is more important than what a customer would feel long term.

But enough mugs around to pay, so one can't blame you. I bet you get away with £450 aswell.
