I'm guessing that every time a new person logs their order details on that site the more reliable the data becomes.

Indeed and its no just somebody putting an earlier order number for the same card which bumps you down the queue but the total amount of each card has been extrapolated based on the dataset entered so far.

Eg you may be 750th out of 1000 cards of one brand based on the fact that 8% of all cards sold was that brand and based on your ON you will be three quarters of the way down the list.

But as people add new data and suddenly it turns out that there are double the amount of that card ordered than originally thought, you suddenly become three quarters of a waiting list of 2000 people and you jump to 1500th
 
Here's a scalper that OCUK staff could cancel the pre-order for <link>

It's not illegal anyway, just immoral... Tbh I'd rather they keep getting screwed over by the anti-scalper bots :D Hence the bids are at £65k haha

Edit: Lol just noticed his order number ends 5406 so OcUK could find it... But he's in for an even bigger wait as he's at least 5k down the queue, let alone the fact it's EVGA lol.

Seems someone is selling their preorder from OCUK / EVGA card on eBay. I don't think the buyer is going to be too impressed with waiting a long time for a card they paid above and beyond for.

Yeah that seller is gonna be in for a looooooooooong wait. ;) And the poor shmuck that pays over the odds for it.
 
That guy has the insanity to a) offer a card with no current ETA b) suggest that with his pictured 5k order number he's definitely getting it ASAP and c)...

Actually, just seems a bit sad.

Yup, it really is sad how many people have listing up for "guaranteed preorders" (not just OCUK order, but all retailers). If you are going to scalp, at least have the decency to get the card in hand first - not that I condone scalping at all
 
Hi all, I ordered mine at 1723 after trying randomly from 1400 and finally got an order in, I received it today, so would just like to thank all you that ordered prior to me as it seems OCUK works in reverse order :>
