3080ti in stock 1h after alert

that rx6800 from other place for over 800 is still there too, same applies to avoid, have to be lacking upstairs to pay that, unless its an emergency dire need situation
 
Could be Nvidia putting more stock out there.

If I currently had no card , and wanted the fastest card money can buy for 4k and PC VR. I would go for an RTX 3090 with 24GB VRAM :p.

I like the AIB model on OcUK. But I can't afford it right now. :mad:

Whilst I agree the 3080ti is overpriced, the fact it's in stock for an hour wouldn't ordinarily mean it has to be a really bad price, just that there isn't the massive stock shortage we've seen of late. Traditionally GPUs will remain in stock for longer than an hour before selling out.

Interestingly CEX are now paying more for 3080ti than they are for 3090!
 
Yep, prices have been steadily dropping since late May. Just a bit odd seeing the 3090 worth less than a 3080ti, I guess it's because they have a load of stock dumped on them in May/June when they still paid over MRSP, whereas they may don't have so many 3080ti in stock.

CEX prices things in a way to attract people to sell items they are short off or want, or price things to buy in a way to stop people offering them the items or basically buying the items at silly low rates they can't refuse (basically ripping off their customers), the CEX behaviour is nothing new and they are becoming extremely greedy how they behave and they are getting none stop attacks on twitter and other social media for their behaviour recently.

CEX buy prices mean nothing it's the sell price that is always right, as you will see the sell price is even higher in some cases than buying new.

I see, in my opinion the 3090 is the better card, better cooling, more horse power , 24GB VRAM, and more Cudda Cores. They are both over a gand as well.
 
cex are going to make huges losses on those gpu's bought over launch prices unless the mining market returns which tbh is highly unlikely for at least a year if not more
 
Looks like the the Crypto Mining ban in China is finally haven't an effect on the average pricing for the graphic cards.

Hope all the greedy scalpers get burnt in the pocket bad :p

Yup, I’ve been watching with interest a 6800XT plummeting in price at my local branch, not out of intention to buy, more enjoying seeing them take a hit.
Initially it was around £1500, it’s down to a grand now (and still way more than you can get a new one from OC/U.K.)

I don't think it is fair to say buy prices "mean nothing" - this is the price you can get for selling them the item. It has relevance in comparison to other achievable sale prices via online auction etc. I've sold multiple items to CEX, and never bought anything, so the buy price is more relevant to me.
An example of why buy prices can matter is when they provide a risk-free arbitrage opportunity, i.e. you can buy an item elsewhere for cheaper than the CEX buy price, and have them as a guaranteed buyer with no risk of scamming.

Sure, if you want to use CEX as a 'price barometer', then you could look at the sell price to try and judge current market forces but saying it is "always right" I don't think is 100% true either, I mean that's the price they will sell you an item for but in my experience their prices on new items are massively inflated to the extent I wouldn't even bother looking. If you can buy an item brand new in stock for cheaper than CEX are charging, I don't see that sell prices as "always right".
 
3080ti now OOS. So it sold out extremely quickly in reality, just looks a long time by comparison to what we've seen with the 3000 series.

I've been monitoring the 3090 for a while, they've had 4 in stock at the Woking branch for absolutely ages.
It's kind of worse for CEX, because them having a card in stock doesn't hold latent value like it does for gamers and miners (i.e. if you had a 3090 lying around depreciating rapidly, you could get utility from gaming on it, or get cash from mining etc).

On the profits/losses side though, it really depends on what trades they do. Having some cards making big losses could easily be offset by other cards making profits. I mean if you sell 10 cards for £1k profit each and then sell another 20 cards for £500 loss each, you have made neither a profit nor a loss.
 
I kinda just ordered 1 since fed up of waiting for my 3080 from here (nearly a year!) but already kinda regretting. Forgot how it was basically no better than a normal 3080 for £400 more :/

CEX even put 1p as a price of something they have a lot of in stock to stop people selling to them. So CEX buy price does mean nothing, it depends what they want at the time and as you saw when they were wanting 3000 series and 6000 series cards they paid a lot more than MSRP even double in most cases, then when they got stock they wanted they halved the prices then people kept selling to them then they reduced the prices to even lower than msrp to reduce people selling to them, this is how they work, but their selling price has not changed or gone up.


I understand what you are saying but CEX is not the place to figure out a buy price, it depends if they are in demand for the items or can easily sell them. They even try to buy rare software and items for next to nothing and know what they are worth really and ebay them for silly money or relist them on their site for the silly prices, but never tell the seller it was a rare item when being sold to them, seen them buy rare game carts for 50p and then have them up for £300.


Cex selling prices either reflect the market or they are basically new prices, remember they sell to people that trade their old goods in and use vouchers and not cash, so the higher selling price is also their way to protect themselves as they also give a 2 year warranty with what they sell.

If the item fails they have to refund or replace it. Thier prices to me are all over the place and in most cases to scam the seller or buyer. SO care has to be taken with their prices and I only sell things to them and buy the odd movie and game from them when I sell cheap items to them and when I sell expensive items I always ask for cash not a voucher as I don't want to buy expensive items from them, I normally buy new and really CEX is a place for me to quickly get rid of unwanted items and don't want the hassle of selling them elsewhere and the buyer breaks the item or says it doesn't work because they have no idea how to use it.
