** OcUK HAS 21 CUSTOM GTX 1080 MODELS READY FOR PRE-ORDER !! **

[Gibbo]

So your suppliers can change the price of a pre-order you have already placed with said supplier on behalf of a customer?

Yes we buy in USD and that prices stays same but if we pay $600 for something and we set our prices using a 1.45 rate our cost is £413, but if rate drops a lot to say 1.30 our new cost is £461 so a near £50 increase excluding vat.

So web prices would go up, those who pre-ordered get the original price however.

 

[Gibbo]

Bet it doesnt stop some retailers still putting the price up, any excuse and that.

This is why we have made no changes yet, infact I reduced our prices on some FE cards yesterday due to rate being 1.49 !!!!!

 

[deuse]

Yeah so no stock items definitely are first effected price wise! Am sure you realise why?

The only thing I can think of you couldn't(for what ever reason) get some stock in time like other shops have.

But lets hope you do get stock asap.

Gibbo, I know your away but have you got any idea of what stock is supposed to be arriving today?

We have loads of 10 series stock but everyone buys on credit unless they are a **** kicker and can't get credit. So all places with stock will increase prices if pound weakens more as they would not have paid for the stock yet and it's only 8am so most places are not open yet so cannot make adjustments.

We are holding off unless rate goes sub 1.35

I would like to know this to, I was gonna hold out for an EVGA SC but if there is any other cards in stock today I will grab one before 3pm.

@Gibbo - Have any FTW shipped at all from OCUK and is the 1st still a go-er?

ok thanks that makes sense when you say stock prices linked to dollar exchange rate.

What a depressing day

@ Gibbo, Thanks for all the updates so often, even out of office!

Sad times today though...

Sucks about the prices, I was waiting till I got my 1080 before I bought a waterblock. May be making the purchase sooner >.<

The pound has gone up again....don't panic.....

 

[silversurfer]

The pound has started rising. I'm not the type to panic buy, but you haven't got stock anyway.

It is all speculation happening right now. UK stays in EU for at least months, a bounce back is normal also

Short and medium term trend from here is down, it will drop again when US market opens I reckon and it will continue to drop next week.

No it won't. Jesus H Christ.

 

[Spajtakus]

I better buy one of those Fibre Optic USB Christmas Trees before the price will go up today...

 

[PhysicsMan94]

Let's see shall we?

 

[varkanoid]

At least its a change from the posts saying "Gibbbboooooo when is my 1080 in stock......"

 

[jommy999]

1.38 dollar to pound now so its rising back up.

 

[Simon Belmont]

We honour pre-orders even if we end up making a loss!

That good to hear. Still waiting for pre-order.
