Might as well buy a 6600 than pay those prices.

No idea. I managed to get one in my basket on ****** before the site crashed. They were gone by the time it reloaded.

It reminds me of Steam sales. They know there will be demand but never boost their servers.

Where have you got that 'released in the 6500XT section' from? As far as I can tell, the 3050 had, and still has its own section on the site, and that's where the standard stock was posed.

a few people made a joke about hiding GPUs in the 6500xt section because no one would look there. I believe he got the wrong end on the stick on this one

I imagine there will be some bad reviews of OcUK, from the scalpers having their orders cancelled. But they won't provide the reason why OcUK cancelled their order.

One at a time

I also like the people on eBay that use their real.name as their eBay seller name, shouldn't be too hard to track down lol

Very confused at these selling out everywhere so fast at £300+

loads of people on old 9xx and 10xx cards most are nearly end of life

dont forget for everyone you see going on about a 3080 or even a 3070 they are way above what most people buy

Whoo! There's a fee for that right? Small victories but we'll take them where we can

3060 is a 12gb 2060 super 8gb check the benchmark videos

OP didn't mention the super. Was pretty accurate, about 8 or 9% slower at 1080.

Nah, you can list 100's of items for free. And only pay final value fees. Unfortunately.

How do you know someone had pm'd and they have arranged a private sale? I do this on eBay all the time, saves those fees

Didn't bother to update the description this time. Well done OC I don't think other retailers are going to this effort mist be a lot of additional work.

I agree, and they're probably on PCIe3 and not 4 so a 6500XT is trounced by the 3050.

Agreed about the additional work but it must be very satisfying with outcomes like that

I will be honest, it has left us a little shocked, even more so how some of the £400 models sold and to now see the cards we sold at sub £300 already over £400 in ebay auctions by scalpers.

We live in a scalping world it seems and the biggest demand is from scalpers because they are so fast.

Our order buttons were live for only 5 minutes and in that time we sold it now seems 600+ cards with prices ranging from £265.99 - £469.99 and all cards sold out and over sold.

Wow. If it's really a majority that are scalpers then it seems like a very high risk strategy to me. Auction sites are full of scammers nowadays and one damaged return that the retailer rejects and they've lost all the profit and then some.

I thought 125121080414 was cancelled, or did they just end one listing and repost in an attempt to hide order no?

edit:

Nice try.

Nightshade18 · 27 Jan 2022 at 16:06

Like most, I missed out. Got one in my basket elsewhere only for the site to go down before checkout.

I'm wondering if a 6500XT and the price of a PCIE4.0 MB is worth it instead?

Hotwired · 27 Jan 2022 at 16:09

Many things are worth it compared to having nothing.

Yep and this is the issue, no matter what we do, we simply cannot win, our online scores have halfed since these GPU launch fiasco, honest people who never got a card and then all the scalpers who had their orders cancelled. It really is a no win situation in many ways for resellers, of course business is good but damn it is very hard work these days as nothing is simple or straight forward like it was a couple of years ago.

Did that site begin with an "E", by chance? If so, I had exactly the same thing happen to me.

As for whether a 6500xt is worth it, I'd say it depends on what you have now.
