It's well worth the asking price IMO. £359


It's the only example of that card that was non-faulty :D
 
Agree with the OP. Ocuk have struggled with the b grade section for as long as I can remember, lots of errors, pricing, stock levels etc. Most if not all of the cards in it look well over priced. I thought b grade meant 'costs less than new'. Apparantly not.:(
 
its like that because they forget to update it properly, been said before although you can find some right bargains in that there bin.
 
Probably just cos they haven't updated the prices in the b-grade section very often.
Prices change on the website pretty much daily on normal stock.
 
I've been keeping an eye on it and none that I can tell of the dodgy MSI TFIII 7950s have made their way onto B Grade which would suggest OcUK are aware there is a wider problem with them.

I'd say that's a pretty strong basis for a return for people still umm'ing and ahh'ing who are outside the 14 day return period.
 
When it's done properly it's usually worth a look. I got my 6950 well over a year ago for £150. Was a bargain at the time.

I occasionally check the B-grade section in the hope of finding a bargain... but sometimes the pricing is baffling.

Take this B-grade MSI 7950 for £359... only £100 more expensive than the A-grade version!

But it's actually quite common for B-grade to be more expensive than new. Would be nice to see what the real prices are ;)

I asked 2 weeks ago about an item which was more expensive than the one in the store and they said it was a web error. 2 Weeks later the item is still the same price, so I guess the price you see is what you pay and isn't an error.
 
I remember there was a clean up of the clearance section some time ago but I guess its just too much work esp with prices changing so often. I'd definately keep a closer eye on the B grades etc if it were better maintained and updated.
 
It's a shame this section(b grade) is no maintained properly every time I go in there it's stupid prices and I'm starting to not bother so not only does it make the company look bad it also loses them potential sales plus I do love a good bargain!
