B Grade Graphics

[nick5466]

So been on the lookout for a new 470 for a while now. I nearly brought a new MSI on before Xmas when they went to about £190. On the clearance page http://www.overclockers.co.uk/productlist.php?groupid=595&catid=&sortby=nameAsc&categoryid=683 we have a few showing but at the same price as if new?

Thanks

Ask OcUK if they can drop the prices . . . . . Don't forget these will probably be missing all the extras!

We are going over the B-grade as we speak so prices may change throughout the week

 

[nick5466]

Surely the price should be less than new to start with ?

Edit: Prices have changed

 

[kmufc77]

A lot of prices have now been changed.

 

[nick5466]

Well the one I was looking at was cheaper before Xmas as new. I can wait.

I wouldnt bother I have questioned the prices of Graphics Cards on clearance before and been told thats the price pay it or lump it. This was when I questioned a 5870 being on sale for the same price as a new new one at the same time.

new can still be moved to clearance. This doesnt mean it sees a reduction. Its only when the item is graded that you see a reduced price.

does that mean that those items get full warranty and not the clearance 90 day one?

This card is a steal at this price and appears brand new with full warranty and Mafia 2 game.

^^ Too bloody right... I wish that offer had been available on the day I bought my GTX460

If its brand new in clearance then you get the full warranty listed with the said item

but why offer a clearance item no cheaper than one listed in the component section, clearance items I thought are advertised slightly lower in order to "clear" them.

There were 10+ GTX465's for £102 an hour ago, but they were pulled as soon as I called to enquire about manyfacturer. Shame because they were the only thing worth considering. The rest of the clearance "bargains" are overpriced.

I reckon those are going to be a one off offer announced any time soon

too true.

GTX 260 896mb DirectX10 £107
GTX 460 768mb DirectX11 £95.99

which would you buy if you had about £100 to spend.

This made me laugh too

personally i would stay way from anything B grade if you can have a new untouched item for a 10-15 more?
Is it worth the saving?
#B# grade stock needs to be heavily discounted to make sense.

 

[varkanoid]

although some of the motherboard B grade items I have bought in the past have been quite good value, and the sound card b grade items too. Just seem to be graphic card b grade/clearance items are poor value.
