Not sure why OCUK do that when they don't even have gpu's to sell here. When was the last time OCUK listed any stock. At least let people talk about places where stock is still coming in now and again.

Just to clarify something. "OcUK" don't man these forums, the moderators are all independent.
The moderators follow the rules that we set out and "no competitor talK" is one of those. Since we provide this forum as a service to our customers and it costs us lots of money to do so, I think it's fair that we don't allow people to promote our competitors here. If you want to talk about stock that is on sale elsewhere, please go elsewhere to do it. There are reddit threads and discord channels out there for just such situations.

But it is a private forum. And they do have the right to refuse service.
There maybe light at the end of the tunnel.

The only blessing atm is a strong pound in comparison to $. If that drops we will be in trouble.
On some large online etailers there are RTX 3090's going for £3000-£4500. It genuinely makes me a bit sad when I think about how mercilessly people will profit from others during tough times and that includes not just private sellers, but well known etailers themselves, many of which in my country and hiked prices to insane levels in a big "F you" to their customers.
I genuinely think that there should be a regulated limit to how much companies or people selling on commercial platforms can charge over MSRP.

It always irks me when people blame politics when it's the dictators who told their people that is what they are implementing... which of course they are not.
My girlfriend saw a 3060 for sale in the facebook market yesterday, very close to where we live. She told me as I've been trying to buy a GPU since early december really, I'm not interested in a 3060 or even a 3060Ti, but it made me feel sad when I saw an unopened 3060 being sold locally for almost 1000 pounds... I know it is almost impossible, but I hope all this people who speculate like this and make a profit of the needs of other people, end up losing money. This is just like when people couldn't buy toilet rolls at the supermarket and there were people waiting all day for the supermarket to restock it and filling vans with it...
Another store had stock of the msi suprim x 3090 for a short while £2200 and they all sold. What the **** is wrong with people paying these utterly retarded prices? Have i missed something and the cards come with a free month of the porn star of your choice or something?

Yeah I saw those too. It’s either folk that have more money than sense or they’re going straight on eBay.

This is going to hurt PC building in the long run. Anger is really high at the moment.
let's just say, it's not the reseller asking 50% margin that's driven that price.
Pricing has got way out of hand to say the least, cards have jumped up tiers in pricing and then some. 6800 at 6800xt pricing, 6800xt at 6900xt pricing and 6900xt at 3090 pricing, and 3090 is verging on titan rtx pricing at this point. Ludicrous.

I'm actually very curious about how high prices will rise, to the extent that I'm happy to sit back and watch for as long as it takes. The arse has to fall out of the market at some point, and when it does it'll be amazing to watch.
our cost pricing on some cards went up by nearly £200 in a month and prices have been going up for months now...nice to know that everyone is blaming the reseller.
To me, scalping means making close to 100% profit margin and I assure you that we're not even close to half that.
Yes we are making more profit margin than we'd usually make, we have to, limited supply, same overheads, but our usual margin on graphics is rarely more than 10%
100% profit margin may be what you consider scalping.
To me, scalping is increasing the price over MSRP. Full stop. Yes, OCUK needs to make a profit to survive, but you surely aren't buying these components from the distributor at MSRP?
