VOUCHER CODE DEALS CONCEPT PLAN!

Long shot, but what about the old lurkers that don't have the post count - maybe 1k posts and six months or <1k posts and ten years?

I wonder if it could be limited to 1 item per user name through the trust system for instance

Guys, we don't have the time or ability to fundamentally change the way that the forum or our systems work.

This is a test of concept, we're not planning on it staying this way forever.

appreciate the effort on this, hopefully it helps get some cards into gamers hands.

Good idea and hope it works.

The idea is good to give long term / loyal members priority but unfortunately makes the less chatty ones - like myself - loosing out , maybe once the proof of concept is established Gibbo can extended it to other long term members regardless of their post count, or even better as a business which values its customers , long term members who had actually purchased items for Overclockers above a certain price point - this to be established by them not necessarily disclosed or up for discussion

Anything is better than nothing at this point.

Thanks @Gibbo, this could well be a concept that works for members this time round instead of working for the scalpers.

Seems like a good idea to me.
I still have a few posts to go though

How will it work with back orders - assume you are going to prioritise your backorders before releasing new stock on a voucher scheme? Or will there be some parallel sales - 10 come in, 5 go to fulfil preorders, then 5 go to voucher sales?

obviously we're only going to do this on lines where we have free stock. The last thing we want is MORE back orders.

We are doing this on lines with no back orders and we have no plans on over selling and as such taking back orders.

Sounds like a good plan for people that still don't have cards and gives them a chance. Hope it goes well, better than the current way with bots grabbing everything.

 

[gpuerrilla]

Good to see @Gibbo

 

[Game]

thats a really good idea

will be a while before I get to 1000 at my current rate years

 

[Biffa]

Sounds like a plan to me

 

[Josh]

Good plan

 

[NathG79]

Sounds like a good idea, Shame I only have the best part of 650 posts to be eligible.

 

[signal11th]

Like others have said been around here for years but never had much to say..I understand the need to limiting it though.

@Gibbo Many thanks for trying this out for us, it's much appreciated. Will this be like one voucher advertised in the MM per card or one voucher for multiples of cards? I can still see this being difficult to actually get a card. Even second hand cards are gone in anything as quick as 30 sec within being posted in the MM so this is going to be a rush to get one. Personally a 3060 isn't a big enough upgrade from my 1070 @1440p but will be very interested in a 3070 or possibly a 3060ti. Hell, I would even go for a 6800 and change monitors at this point.

I can see this getting posted on other discords within seconds .........the codes that is
