I honestly have had not many issue with ebay, there are some bad sellers out there but there good people out there still on ebay. I sold one of my gtx1070 on there. The gent came and picked it up from my residence and was a nice guy too. My GTX were as close to brand new used could be. I practically never used the things.

Could always go the other way, the 980 launched cheaper.

Won't be shocked if it's near £1000.
Did you even read the post you quoted. The 980 launched cheaper than it's predecessor, just because the 1080 launched higher does not necessarily mean that the 1180/2080 will too.No reason on earh Nvidia would price drop. They hold all the cards (literally

Yes... I read it.....
When the 980 launched Nvidia had COMPETITION. Now they do not. I do not expect, in any way shape or form that Nvidia will launch the 2080 cheaper than the 1080 launch price. Why would they do this? out of the goodness of their heart??

You forget that people are generally getting dumber year-on-year so will probably just accept it.
/looks at Love Island audience...
Well if GTX 1080 was at $699 for an FE/Reference style card, with the value of the pound today at 1.25 (1.265 realtime), 1.25 for safety is £559 +VAT which would be £669 with the VAT. Add any shipping, margins, price gouging, shortages and it could be anywhere between £669 - £799 for a 1080 FE / reference launched at todays exchange rates and of course more for the fancier cards with RGB, overclocks etc.
I have bought Nvidia for some gens now but don't feel dumber. I can't find any compelling reason or evidence why it would be near that. Even people like myself willing to spend a fair bit on a GPU would balk and where would that leave the ti version? Maybe Brexit and the £ will have a big impact but that is not Nvidia's issue.

There was a touch of hyperbole with my statement but I think the constant horror stories you read- or experience - about the place just puts a really negative factor on something that used to be really positive. I remember buying my old Q6700 and a 775(?) motherboard on there many moons ago, then selling it on a few years later. Never had any issue with either transaction but I wouldn't chance selling a CPU and/or mobo on there now. Feels like you're on a hiding to nothing.
No more than they have today, the GTX770 was dueling with the 380X, the GTX780 was dueling with the R290s and the GTX780ti was king. Today the GTX1070 is dueling with the V56, the GTX1080 is dueling with the V64 and the GTX1080ti is king.
Like I said we won't know if the price is going up/down/static compared to the 1080 until the 1180/2080 launches, history shows anything is possible.
Sowing the seeds Gibbo! sowing the seeds!
Yeah exchange rate sucks for sure. Not for me personally because my company gets paid in Dollars. I'm loving it. But sucks for buying tech.
P.S. I'm not buying "shortages". There is excess cards now. Nvidia want you to believe there is shortages.
The GTX980 had to beat the competition, hence it came out cheap.
@B1gbeard they have never being in better position.
Up to now they either had to catch up to AMD (GTX780 and before), or having slighter better product (GTX980). GTX1080 had no competitor and came out at $700, and I bet you with Navi a year away, with all these RayTracing marketing and that is faster than the GTX1080Ti, they will put it at $900-1000 mark.
That is win win for NV because they do not devalue the GTX1080 & GTX1080Ti since there is no competition. Prices will be stable until Pascal stock dissapears.
Also that would keep in line of having the RTX Titan to $2600-3000 mark and not $1200 like now. Thats the place for the RTX xx80Ti.
