4 still sold today so far going for £3500- £3700 so yeah dropped from £4000 but still a ridiculous amount more than it should be . I see someone has got hold of an Astral ( apparently camped all night for it :cry: ) that is listed on there with current bids up to £4000.... oh and a pre-order for one at £3800 , the desperation is real :rolleyes:

MSI and ASUS hike GeForce RTX 50 series prices in official stores, now up to $3,409 for RTX 5090 - VideoCardz.com

MSI removes MSRP RTX 50 cards, ASUS goes to an absurd $3409 price for flagship RTX 5090 When supply doesn’t meet demand, scalpers board partners take advantage. MSI is no longer offering any cards at MSRP. The company has decided to increase prices for RTX 5080 and 5090 cards across the board...

this is getting ridiculous. watch UK shops increase prices of all 5000 series gpu's next week..
 
This worries me that the other site where a bunch of us have preorders will start prodding for more monies.

Hopefully buyers drop an heads up here. I think if it does climb then I might screw it off and follow an FE tracker instead

I do not understand how that works. I work in a Purchasing team for a IT department. When we order something we raise a PO to the supplier it doesnt matter if the supplier is the manufacturer or disty being shipped from 10 mile up the road or China. Once the PO is raised and accepted by the supplier the price is locked in regardless of exchange rate or how long it takes to arrive. Surely this would be the same for retail stores ordering stock. In fact mnost of the quotes we get are valid for 30 days so technically as long as we raise the po before the quote expires price is locked

I would've hoped this is the case and that they placed orders for everything they had a pre-order for.

After the orders went through and we understood more of the queuing situation, they whacked some words up (which has been revised) to the effect of price may go up or down and we'll refund or charge you the diff.

Because the small print when you do the pre-order says they reserve the right to increase the price and charge you the difference at the time of delivery or choose to cancel the pre-order - it's a contractual term, unlike your internal process of raising a PO at work which is just an accounting procedure
